Knowledge management Dimensions

1 At the opposite end of the spectrum, explicit knowledge represents

knowledge that the individual holds consciously in mental focus, in a

form that can easily be communicated to others

1 In this model, knowledge follows a cycle in which implicit knowledge is

'extracted' to become explicit knowledge, and explicit knowledge is

're-internalized' into implicit knowledge

contrast, the personalization strategy aims at encouraging individuals to

share their knowledge directly

Diffusion of innovations - Diffusion of New Technology

1 Peres, Muller and Mahajan (2010) suggest that Innovation diffusion of a new technology is "the process of the market penetration of new products and services that is driven by social

influences, which include all interdependencies among consumers

that affect various market players with or without their explicit

knowledge". https://store.theartofservice.com/the-explicit-knowledge-toolkit.html

Modeling language - Participant appropriateness

1 The language should to a large extent express all the explicit knowledge of the stakeholders

relevant to the domain.

Modeling language - Modeller appropriateness

1 Last paragraph stated that knowledge of the stakeholders

should be presented in a good way. In addition it is imperative that the language should be able to express

all possible explicit knowledge of the stakeholders. No knowledge should be left unexpressed due to lacks in

the language.

Ikujiro Nonaka - The SECI Model

1 Professor Ikujiro Nonaka has proposed the SECI model, one of the

most widely cited theories in knowledge management (Gourlay

2003), to present the spiraling knowledge processes of interaction

between explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge.

Activity theory - Learning and tacit knowledge

1 Internalisation has subsequently become a key term of the theory of

tacit knowledge and has been defined as a process of embodying

explicit knowledge into tacit knowledge

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-explicit-knowledge-toolkit.html

Page 14: Explicit Knowledge

Organizational learning - Models

1 The reverse process (from explicit to tacit) they call internalization

because it involves employees internalizing an organization's formal rules, procedures, and other forms of

explicit knowledge

Tacit knowledge - Differences with explicit knowledge

1 Tacit knowledge can be distinguished from explicit knowledge Polanyi, M,

(1958) Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy. University of Chicago Press. ISBN 0-226-67288-

3in three major areas:

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-explicit-knowledge-toolkit.html

Page 20: Explicit Knowledge

Tacit knowledge - Differences with explicit knowledge

1 * 'Codifiability and mechanism of transferring knowledge:' while explicit knowledge can be codified, and easily transferred without the

knowing subject, tacit knowledge is intuitive and unarticulated knowledge that cannot be communicated, understood or used without the ‘knowing subject’. Unlike the transfer of

explicit knowledge, the transfer of tacit knowledge requires close interaction and the

buildup of shared understanding and trust among them.

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-explicit-knowledge-toolkit.html

Page 21: Explicit Knowledge

Tacit knowledge - Differences with explicit knowledge

1 * 'Main methods for the acquisition and accumulation: 'Explicit

knowledge can be generated through logical deduction and acquired

through practical experience in the relevant context. In contrast, tacit knowledge can only be acquired

through practical experience in the relevant context.

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-explicit-knowledge-toolkit.html

Page 22: Explicit Knowledge

Tacit knowledge - Differences with explicit knowledge

1 * 'Potential of aggregation and modes of appropriation: 'Explicit knowledge can be aggregated at a single location, stored in objective forms and appropriated without the participation of the knowing subject. Tacit knowledge in contrast, is personal contextual. It is distributive, and cannot

easily be aggregated. The realization of its full potential requires the close involvement

and cooperation of the knowing subject.

Page 23: Explicit Knowledge

Tacit knowledge - Transmission models for tacit knowledge

1 In that model tacit knowledge is presented variously as uncodifiable

(tacit aspects of knowledge are those that cannot be codified) and codifiable (transforming tacit

knowledge into explicit knowledge is known as codification)

Page 25: Explicit Knowledge

Tacit knowledge - Knowledge management

1 Knowledge management can be considered the dynamic process of

creating new knowledge, identifying sources of this new knowledge and

the elicitation and distribution of this knowledge. The identification of tacit knowledge sources and the creation of knowledge through tacit to tacit

knowledge sharing and tacit to explicit knowledge sharing are fundamental to this process.

Explicit knowledge

1 'Explicit knowledge' is knowledge that has been articulated,

codified, and data storage device|stored in certain storage media|

media. It can be readily transmitted to others. The information contained in encyclopedias and textbooks are

good examples of explicit knowledge.

Explicit knowledge - Forms

1 The most common forms of explicit knowledge are manual

(disambiguation)|manuals, documents, procedures, and how-to

videos. Knowledge also can be audio-visual. Works of art and product

design can be seen as other forms of explicit knowledge where human skills, motives and knowledge are

externalized.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-explicit-knowledge-toolkit.html

Two-phase locking

1 Typically, without explicit knowledge in a transaction on end of phase-1, it

is safely determined only when a transaction has entered its ready

state in all its processes (processing has ended, and it is ready to be

committed; no additional data access and locking are needed and can

happen)

Organizational Memory System - The difference between explicit and tacit knowledge

1 In its modern understanding, knowledge is made up of 'explicit

knowledge', sometimes called 'skilled knowledge'; and 'tacit' or 'cognitive knowledge' (sometimes known as

coping skills), a category first identified by Michael Polanyi in

1958.“The Tacit Dimension”. Anchor Books, 1967

Organizational Memory System - The difference between explicit and tacit knowledge

1 Typically existing only in the minds of individuals, tacit knowledge is

normally very difficult to capture, with most organizations depending

almost entirely on the explicit knowledge

Knowledge sharing - Explicit Knowledge Sharing

1 Explicit knowledge sharing occurs when explicit knowledge is made available to be shared between

entities. Explicit knowledge sharing can happen successfully when the

following criteria are met:

Implicit learning - Methodological issues

1 The measurement must be conducted at the appropriate time otherwise what is assumed to be a measurement of implicit learning may

actually be a measurement of explicit learning. Though the study may focus on

implicit learning, if measurement is taken too long after the core of the experiment occurs

one could argue that learning was explicit but explicit knowledge was momentarily lost. No rules have been laid out guiding selection of

an appropriate time for testing.

Implicit memory - Illusion-of-truth effect

1 As the illusion-of-truth effect occurs even without explicit knowledge, it is

a direct result of implicit memory

Standard Young tableau - Skew tableaux

1 Although many properties of skew tableaux only depend on the filled squares, some operations defined on them do require explicit knowledge of and , so it is

important that skew tableaux do record this information: two distinct skew tableaux may differ only

in their shape, while they occupy the same set of squares, each filled with the same entries.A somewhat similar situation arises for matrices: the 3-by-0 matrix must be distinguished from the 0-by-3 matrix , since is a 3-by-3 (zero) matrix while is the 0-by-0 matrix, but both and have the same (empty) set of entries; for skew tableaux however such distinction is necessary even in cases where the set of entries is not empty

Text and conversation theory - Weakness

1 According to Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995), organizational learning is the study of how collectives adapt to, or fail to adapt to, their environments.

It utilizes tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge.

Know-how

1 'Know-how' is a term for practical knowledge on how to accomplish something, as opposed to “know-

what” (facts), “know-why” (science), or “know-who” (communication).

Know-how is often tacit knowledge, which means that it is difficult to

transfer to another person by means of writing it down or verbalising it. The opposite of tacit knowledge is

explicit knowledge.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-explicit-knowledge-toolkit.html

Explication - Summary

1 But an explication may also be contained and expressed in shorter formats, such as in paragraphs and sentences, which are deliberately

drafted to emphasise the nature and impact of new explicit knowledge

which draws on, and are improvements upon, previous

knowledge.

Page 59: Explicit Knowledge

Explication - Explication as a process versus explication as an outcome

1 When working with explication, it is essential to be clear, and to make clear whether you are dealing with the explication process (and hence

working with the verb or gerund), or dealing with the outcomes of the

process, such as a work which documents, describes and explains

the new explicit knowledge.

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-explicit-knowledge-toolkit.html

Page 60: Explicit Knowledge

Explication - Explication as an interpretative process

1 Based on the etymology of the word explication, studies using explication, and extended argumentation we can deduce that explication in the arts, humanities and social sciences is largely an interpretative process where the outcomes - the new explicit knowledge - is open to subsequent dispute, with the possibility of additional and/or

different meanings being derived in the future.

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-explicit-knowledge-toolkit.html

Page 61: Explicit Knowledge

Explication - Explication as an interpretative process

1 On this argument, new explicit knowledge is therefore contingent and context specific. New explicit knowledge is also informed by the explicant's competence in dealing

with the explication process, plus an ethical concern that the outcomes

(i.e. the new explicit knowledge) can be considered to be an improvement and true (i.e. not yet disaffirmed).

1 # 'Explicit to Tacit (Internalization)' - Explicit to tacit by Internalization (knowledge receiving

and application by an individual), enclosed by learning by doing; on the other hand, explicit knowledge becomes part of an individual's

knowledge and will be assets for an organization. Internalization is also a process of continuous individual and collective reflection

and the ability to see connections and recognize patterns and the capacity to make sense

between fields, ideas, and concepts.
