Title

Knowledge management : oxymoron or dynamic duo?

Source

Managing information. 4(1997) no.8, S.24-26

Year

Abstract

Argues that in defining knowledge management it is necessary to distinguish between 2 distinct types of knowledge: tacit or implicit, and explicit. Argues that explicit information can be written down or expressed in some tangible form while implicit information is hard to formalize and is rooted in subjective insights, intuitions and hunches. The focus of successful knowledge management programmes is to make implicit knowledge about organizational knowledge explicit and to put in place systematic processes that identify it, develop it, share it, and exploit it. Describes steps that information professionals can take to move beyond basic knowledge databases and from knowledge management to knowledge leadership. Here there is a shift of emphasis from knowledge management to knowledge creation and innovation
