knowledge tacit xplicit and social Nonaka and Takeuchi

clipped from mohamedaminechatti.blogspot.com The basis of this model is a distinction between two types of human knowledge: explicit and tacit. Explicit knowledge or information is codified, objective knowledge that can be transmitted in formal, systematic language. In contrast, tacit knowledge is not easily codified, difficult to express and subjective. Nonaka and Takeuchi argue that knowledge is created and expanded through the social interaction of tacit and explicit knowledge [13]. Similar to the knowledge creation process, the learning process encompasses more than knowledge acquisition. It is a dynamic process within a collective intelligence, continuous knowledge in action, and cyclic conversion of tacit and explicit knowledge. This spiraling, highly dynamic and complex process is modeled in the figure above. It consists of four modes of knowledge conversion: socialization (tacit to tacit), externalization (tacit to explicit), combination (explicit to explicit), and internalization (explicit to tacit).

Sending notes to a blog for PhD and research purposes

Sometimes I just want to get some ideas or thoughts down quickly.

The ideas are not in chapters and they may come to me at times when i am not connected to the internet.

Blogger has the the ability to accept mobile blogging so short text messages sent here from my phone are one way to keep these ideas.
