| Tiivistelmä: | The paper provides the authors' own assessment of why the tacit/codified distinction is important in relation to economic analysis and knowledge management practice. Firstly, it is argued that the discussion on codification must make the fundamental distinction between knowledge about the world (know-what) and knowledge in the form of skills and competence (know-how) Secondly, it is argued that the dichotomy between codifiable and non-codifiable knowledge is problematic since it is rare that a body of knowledge can be completely transformed into codified form without losing some of its original characteristics and that most forms of relevant knowledge are mixed in these respects. Thirdly, the authors contest their implicit assumption that codification always represents progress. |
