Mathematics and Semiotics do not at first seem like a natural couple. Mathematics finds most of its applications describing explicit, mechanical situations, whereas the emphasis in Semiotics is usually toward that which remains at least partially obscure. Nonetheless, probability theory routinely treats circumstances that are either acausal or the results of agencies that remain unknown. Betwee...

For purposes of reacting to an increasingly competitive business environment, many companies emphasize the importance of knowledge management (KM), thus, it is a worthwhile project to explore and learn about KM features of high-performance companies. Discovering and describing the critical KM features of high-performance companies is a qualitative analysis problem. To handle this kind of proble...

Clinical decision-making can be improved if healthcare practitioners are able to leverage both the tacit and explicit modalities of healthcare knowledge, yet at present there do not exist knowledge management systems that support any active and direct mapping between these two knowledge modalities. In this paper, we present a healthcare knowledge-mapping framework that maps (a) the tacit knowle...

This research develops a conceptual model for predicting success of process improvement projects as a result of knowledge-creation practices employed in the projects. The model is empirically examined in the context of Six Sigma black belt projects. New scales are developed to measure explicitand tacitknowledge-creation practices in process improvement. Data is gathered via a cross-sectional sa...

The utility of knowledge depends on how it is developed, refined and tested. Where knowledge concerns more than one individual, its value is increased through social processes involving cycles of tacit and explicit sharing for intersubjective criticism. Sciences and many organizations have well developed processes for managing the tacit-explicit cycling to produce what Vines and Hall call "form...

Many educational institutions and organizations have attempted to encourage knowledge sharing by implementing virtual learning communities. During the Coronavirus pandemic, how utilize communication technologies effectively facilitate among geographically dispersed learners (specifically in education institutions) has become an extremely urgent issue. Our study investigated 88 undergraduate stu...

This study examines tacit knowledge sharing in enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation. There is often a large gap in knowledge among ERP implementation personnel because of ERP’s cross-functional nature. An underlying assumption of knowledge sharing is that individuals can share the knowledge they have. Although this is a valid assumption for explicit knowledge that can readily be ex...

Apart from traditional sources of medical knowledge found in the form of published evidence, other modality of knowledge like tacit form of knowledge is equally vital for clinical decision making. In this concept paper, we present a knowledge management framework which extracts tacit knowledge from past cases stored in a Case base and uses it with explicit knowledge stored in Clinical Practice ...
