 Organizational Knowledge Creation Theory

This article proposes a model for managing dynamic aspects of organizational knowledge creation processes. central theme is that organizational knowledge is created through continuous dialogue between tacit and explicit knowledge. The nature of this dialogue is examined and four modes of interaction on tacit and explicit knowledge are identified. Argues that even if new information developed by individuals, organizations play a key role in shaping and strengthening this knowledge.
