Knowledge sharing enables people in virtual communities to access relevant knowledge (explicit or tacit) from broader scope of resources.

The reverence this dichotomy is now accorded is considerable, and nearly every work wri...

The paper addresses, based on an empirical study, what impact the use of recent complex business models, in particular, Functional Products, may have on production systems in terms of the explicit and tacit knowledge that is required. Requirements for new knowledge currently lacking or in the process of being acquired have been of specific interest for the study. The study focuses on the custom...

One of the most challenging knowledge management tasks is to obtain, summarize, and present tacit knowledge. It is important to develop approaches for creating insightful summaries from the knowledge obtained. In this paper, we present different information extraction methods for summarizing interview transcripts. Manual, semi-automatic, and automatic text analysis are evaluated to transform ta...
