Abstract: | To better understand Nonaka's SECI model of knowledge creation and its constraints, the authors revisit the fundamental points of tacit knowledge in the model and provide a critical review on the role of tacit knowledge in business organization. First, the 2tacitness" of knowledge is broken down into two parts: implicitness and real tacitness. The authors argue that the tacit dimension of knowledge in the context of the model is different from that in Polanyi's original context; it actually includes considerable "implicitness" idiosyncratic in Japanese context. The separation ofimplicitness from real tacitness suggests carefully considering the potentialities of "unveiling" the secrets of tacit knowledge in different contexts. |
