Organization has to evaluate the competencies of their workers to improve organizational productivity. However, this is difficult because organizations have difficulties to capture and retain knowledge especially tacit knowledge of their employees. The study reviewed selected literature on management knowledge and employers competencies. It also reviewed existing frameworks in knowledge managem...

In this paper, I define tacit knowledge as a kind of causal-explanatory structure, mirroring the derivational structure in the theory that is tacitly known. On this definition, tacit knowledge does not have to be explicitly represented. I then take the notion of a modular theory, and project the idea of modularity to several different levels of description; in particular, to the processing leve...

When an expert designer uses a term such as “interference fit" or “H7r6", they effortlessly invoke a rich set of associations across a wide range of experience. While at one level, the meaning of a termsuch as H7 is formally specified, many of these associations are implicitand hard to characterize formally. The explicit concepts build on layersof implicit abstraction; e.g. the concept of _t wo...

Knowledge visualization can be used in several fields from medical imaging to industrial engineering. Although there could be variety of applicable research areas, our consideration will be the tacit knowledge visualization in organizations. This proposal aims to suggest a study to develop a tacit knowledge visualization framework to support know-where requirements of the organizational knowled...

Natural Intelligence is based not only on conscious procedural and declarative knowledge, but also on knowledge that is inferred from observing the actions of others. This knowledge is tacit, in that the process of its acquisition remains unspecified. However, tacit knowledge is an accepted guide of behavior, especially in unfamiliar contexts. In situations where knowledge is lacking, animals a...

To advance understanding on knowledge creation through social computing, we posed two research questions: What are the processes underlying knowledge creation online? What is the role of tacit knowledge in online communication? We note that even if the online environment is beset with apparent limitations due to physical distance, tacit knowledge is by no means absent. It enables individuals to...

The ‘Knowledge Age’ has fuelled the need to capitalise on organisation-wide Intellectual Capital with the aim of gaining competitive advantage vis-à-vis a higher return-on-knowledge and experience. In this paper, we propose a novel tacit knowledge acquisition and representation strategy using Scenarios based on the assumption that tacit knowledge can best be explicated through controlled challe...

Much knowledge in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is experience-based and tacit. Nevertheless, the typical strategy for knowledge management is focused on computer-based approaches for capturing and disseminating explicit knowledge. AEC firms have been successful at collecting and storing explicit information in enterprise databases, but they are poor at knowledge ...
