We present the findings of research conducted by way of a complete pilot study on two teams within an organisation we choose to label organisation X. Certainly from a knowledge management perspective, tacit knowledge is vital in preventing knowledge loss from skilled staff leaving the workplace and taking the ‘soft’ knowledge with them. More proficient means of capturing this knowledge by mappi...

Tacit knowledge plays an important role in decision making that is why, in this paper, we introduce a new approach based on tacit knowledge for decision process. Our approach is based on a practical case study in the field of second hand vehicle purchase. This paper proposes ideas and research issues on how to tackle tacit knowledge for decision process with cost-benefit and multicriteria analy...

There are a variety of ways to transfer the tacit knowledge within an enterprise, and job rotation is one of the effective tools. This article reveals the three-stage process enterprises transferring the tacit knowledge by implementing job rotation, and analyses the efficiency of tacit knowledge transferring among individuals in different job rotation situations, as well as the mechanism of kno...

Tacit knowledge was originally introduced into the professional literature by Michael Polanyi (1946, 1966, 1976), and later made popular by Sternberg and his colleagues (e.g. Sternberg et al., 2000; Wagner & Sternberg, 1985). Tacit knowledge is best characterized as context-specific, procedural knowledge that is gained from personal experience, rather than through direct training or instruction...

Tacit knowledge is the source of knowledge creation, but the organization and retrieval of tacit knowledge using IT has not been discussed much. In this paper, we defined Internal Knowledge Evolution Network (IKEN) to describe the knowledge evolution process from tacit to explicit, and applied the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) integrating with Direct-Case-Linkage technique to support the IKEN mana...

The number of cancer medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration has risen steadily in recent years. This article provides a concise overview of drugs and indications added to the cancer armamentarium in 2014 and to date in 2015.

Knowledge management and knowledge creation is recognized to be of supreme importance to the competitive advantage of organisations as well as a major agent of change in the new era of the knowledge economy. This study empirically examines knowledge creation activities in the context of the banking industry. It extends the work of Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) and others on the theory of organisat...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop and clarify a central concept of knowledge management, tacit knowledge. Design/methodology/approach – The paper investigates the philosophical roots of the concept of tacit knowledge and compares its core elements with current uses of the concept in contemporary knowledge management research. Different interpretations of the concept are identifi...

Tacit knowledge was originally introduced into the professional literature by Michael Polanyi and later made popular by researchers in a variety of domains. Measuring this implicit form of procedural knowledge requires multiple approaches to adequately “capture” what is often known, but not easily articulated. The present study combines use of Sternberg et al.’s framework for capturing domain-s...
