چکیده

We propose a new concept of knowledge management “Knowledge Liquidization and Crystallization”, and a system “Knowledge Nebula Crystallizer” to support the process. Though there are several theories about knowledge creation (Nonaka et al. 1995)(Fischer et al. 2001)(Shneiderman 1998) and a number of companies have realized their importance, most of them face to difficulty of applying them to their real workflows. It is because they have not mentioned how companies should apply them to their workflows. Though traditional knowledge management methods have tried to capture and accumulate “knowledge” itself, it is impossible because knowledge is not something clear-shaped but is embedded in a “context” where a person interacts with an artefact. What can be captured is data or information that describes knowledge and can be used to generate new knowledge (Hackbarth and Grover 1999). In this paper, we are going to describe our approach to a new methodology for knowledge management. As exhibition designing is an example of a task that highly depends on implicit knowledge of professionals and that requires a methodology of knowledge management, it was chosen as an application of our concept to a real work place. A methodology for knowledge acquisition in the domain and “Knowledge Nebula Crystallizer for Exhibition Designing” are described.
