  • Tacit Knowledge review and possible research directions
    Journal of Knowledge Management, 2012
    Co-Authors: Krishna Venkitachalam, Peter Busch
    Abstract:

    – Tacit Knowledge is often difficult to define, given its inexpressible characteristics. Literature review highlights the impact of Tacit Knowledge on certain Knowledge management topics and these include organizational learning, intellectual capital, Knowledge management strategy and so forth, but some research gaps remain. The paper aims to propose directions for future research in this domain of discourse., – A review of existing studies highlights some gaps in the literature on the role of Tacit Knowledge, which is followed by questions for future research., – Given the richness of Tacit Knowledge discourse, the authors believe that the proposed questions offer avenues for scholars to explore and develop greater understanding of the role of Tacit know‐how in certain Knowledge management topics., – The authors acKnowledge that there are certain limitations to this paper, namely, focusing on the review of Tacit Knowledge and not on other forms of Knowledge. The review presents the role of Tacit Knowledge and its use in the context of Knowledge management related topics. Finally this study proposes only future research directions that are far from being exhaustive, rather than presenting field study results., – This paper reviews the existing literature on how Tacit Knowledge is perceived and used in certain Knowledge management areas. Reviewing the current literature uncovers a number of gaps regarding the role of Tacit Knowledge.

  • Tacit Knowledge in Organizational Learning
    2008
    Co-Authors: Peter Busch
    Abstract:

    Understanding the complexity of tactic Knowledge has become increasingly important to the enhancement of organizational flow. Tacit Knowledge in Organizational Learning aims to advocate the need for “human factor” consideration from a (tactic) Knowledge capital point of view. 'Tacit Knowledge in Organizational Learning' offers academians and practitioners an illustration of the importance of Tacit Knowledge to an organization, presenting a means to measure and track Tacit Knowledge in individuals and recommendations on firm attributes and their ideal utilization of the Tacit Knowledge resource

  • Tacit Knowledge AND CULTURE
    People Knowledge and Technology, 2004
    Co-Authors: Peter Busch, Deborah Richards
    Abstract:

    AbstractTacit Knowledge is characteristically unwritten, but may over time become articulated or codified depending on its nature. Because of the importance of the role Tacit Knowledge plays in both individual and organisational success, it is important that it’s transfer be unhindered from a Knowledge management point of view. Culture plays a part in Knowledge transfer insofar as people tend typically to associate with others of similar background. We have conducted a series of case studies in a number of IT organisations to determine the extent to which culture affects the likelihood of Tacit Knowledge flows. Our findings indicate that where the organisation is highly multi-cultural, the likelihood of culture affecting Tacit Knowledge flows is limited. Nevertheless staff, where they do share a common culture, do generally associate with one another and this in turn may impede the free-flow of soft Knowledge.

  • The Meaning of Tacit Knowledge
    Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 2002
    Co-Authors: C. N. G. 'kit' Dampney, Peter Busch, Deborah Richards
    Abstract:

    Tacit Knowledge definitions tend to be extremely varied. Some argue that Tacit Knowledge is precisely that. Others feel that only time and effort prevent all Tacit Knowledge from eventually becoming articulated. For the purposes of our research “Tacit Knowledge”, in practice at least, encompasses a medium ground, being comprised of articulable and inarticulable subsets. Along the lines of Weber (1997), we have formalised a meaning for this “Tacit Knowledge” and for comparison have completed a content analysis of the literature to determine what other researchers understand “Tacit Knowledge” to mean.

  • Tacit Knowledge in the Workplace
    1999
    Co-Authors: Robert J. Sternberg, George B. Forsythe, Jennifer Hedlund, Joseph A. Horvath, Trueman Tremble
    Abstract:

    Abstract : This is the final product of a six year effort to define, assess and measure Tacit Knowledge for leadership among U.S. Army officers. Tacit Knowledge is defined as Knowledge grounded in experience, intimately related to action, and not well supported by formal training and doctrine. Tacit Knowledge for leadership was researched at three different levels of command and developed into assessment inventories for each level. The assessment inventories have been construct validated and proven to predict certain leadership effectiveness ratings at each level and to do so better than measures of verbal reasoning ability, Tacit Knowledge for business managers, or experience. The report describes the constructs of "practical intelligence" and "Tacit Knowledge", other research related to them, the general methods used in assessing Tacit Knowledge, and the development of the Tacit Knowledge for Military Leaders inventories. There is also a chapter on the practical implications for leadership development and training. An expanded version of this report will appear as a commercially available book entitled, Practical Intelligence in Everyday Life by the same authors.

  • towards Tacit Knowledge sharing over social web tools
    Journal of Knowledge Management, 2013
    Co-Authors: Sirous Panahi, Jason Watson, Helen Partridge
    Abstract:

    Purpose – Researchers debate whether Tacit Knowledge sharing through information technology (IT) is actually possible. However, with the advent of social web tools, it has been argued that most shortcomings of Tacit Knowledge sharing are likely to disappear. The purpose of this paper is two‐fold: first, to demonstrate the existing debates in the literature regarding Tacit Knowledge sharing using IT; and second, to identify key research gaps that lay the foundations for future research into Tacit Knowledge sharing using the social web.Design/methodology/approach – This paper reviews current literature on IT‐mediated Tacit Knowledge sharing and opens a discussion on Tacit Knowledge sharing through the use of the social web.Findings – First, the existing schools of thought in regards to IT ability for Tacit Knowledge sharing are introduced. Next, difficulties of sharing Tacit Knowledge through the use of IT are discussed. Then, potentials and pitfalls of social web tools are presented. Finally, the paper con...

    Co-Authors: Robert J. Sternberg
    Abstract:

    This article deals with the role of the construct of Tacit Knowledge-what one needs to know that usually is not explicitly taught and that often is not even verbalized-in enhancing education for immigrants. The article is divided into seven brief parts, covering the nature of Tacit Knowledge, the form of Tacit Knowledge, kinds of Tacit Knowledge, acquisition of Tacit Knowledge, Tacit Knowledge about competence, the role of Tacit Knowledge in abilities broadly defined, and conclusions.

  • Tacit Knowledge and organisational performance construction industry perspective
    Journal of Knowledge Management, 2007
    Co-Authors: C P Pathirage, Dilanthi Amaratunga, Richard Haigh
    Abstract:

    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of Tacit Knowledge in construction and to underline the significant contribution of Tacit Knowledge towards the organisational performance. Design/methodology/approach - Includes a review of literature on principal insights of dominant views on Knowledge and organisational resources to highlight the strategic nature of Tacit Knowledge. Further, intrinsic characteristics of the construction industry are discussed to underline the people factor and the role of the Tacit Knowledge. Findings - Valuable human and Knowledge resources will be wasted unless organisations make better use of these prime resources. Tacit Knowledge in particular is still considered to be relatively unexplored and proper understanding and management of this resource are of immense importance for better organisational performance. In this context, this paper reveals the labour and Knowledge intensive nature of the construction industry and highlights the importance and the significant role of people factor and Tacit Knowledge in construction. Originality/value - Owing to paucity of literature and inadequate empirical research done, this paper provides the basis for more empirical research on finding importance of Tacit Knowledge towards organisational performance in the construction industry.
