	Knowledge creation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knowledge can be divided in both tacit knowledge, which involves senses, skills and intuition, and explicit knowledge, which is formulated and/or captured.
		Knowledge is the structure of symbols and/or semantics chosen by a society.
		The specific knowledge creation interaction occurs at the line between knowledge structure and anti-knowledge, which is the cutting edge.

	Knowledge management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knowledge management (or KM) is an approach to improving organizational outcomes and organizational learning by introducing into an organization a range of specific processes and practices for identifying and capturing knowledge, know-how, expertise and other intellectual capital, and for making such knowledge assets available for transfer and reuse across the organization.
		Knowledge management programs are typically tied to specific organizational objectives and are intended to lead to the achievement of specific targeted results such as improved performance, competitive advantage, or higher levels of innovation.
		One alternative strategy to encoding knowledge into and retrieving knowledge from a knowledge repository such as a database is for individuals to instead access expert individuals on an ad hoc basis, as needed, with their knowledge requests.

	Nathalie Lazaric and Alain Raybaut: Knowledge Creation Facing Hierarchy
		However, knowledge creation in the network configuration and communities of practices may be problematic because of the lack of appropriate intervention regulating such creativity (Miles and Snow 1992, Miles and Snow 1997, Foss 2003).
		The process of knowledge creation is constrained by the pressures imposed by a hierarchy, which introduces coordination mechanisms in an attempt to improve efficiency through the selection of particular practices.
		Given that different forms of knowledge are present within a firm, we assume that the routine selection process refers only to activated knowledge and, more specifically, to routines in operation, in other words, the organizational practices activated by the firm's members (see Lazaric and Mangolte 1999 and Lazaric 2000, on those specific aspects).

	The Dialectic of Knowledge-in-Production: Value Creation in Late Capitalism and the Rise of Knowledge-Centered ...
		After an abstract discussion of knowledge as a process, this paper discusses the implications for the overall structure of capitalist economy, concluding that the emancipatory claims for the knowledge economy are overstated.
		Knowledge which goes un-utilized, which is locked-up, thrown away, or forgotten, is, for all intents and purposes, not knowledge (in the same way that money that is hoarded, not thrown back into circulation, does not really count as capital).
		Without the knowledge possessed and controlled by the firm, and embodied in the organization of the firm, the knowledge possessed by most "knowledge workers" is useless.

		The focus on knowledge discovery is timely: it is the theme of the November 1999 issue of Communications of the ACM, and the Summer 1999 issue of Library Trends (edited by ASIS members Jian Qin and M. Jay Norton) deals specifically with knowledge discovery in bibliographic databases.
		Because terms such as data, information and knowledge are not used consistently, it is important to look beyond the terms and determine what is actually being analyzed and synthesized by the various techniques described briefly in the remainder of this article.
		Knowledge management in business settings is likewise concerned with knowledge capture, finding ways to make tacit knowledge explicit (e.g., documenting best practices) or creating expert directories to foster knowledge sharing through human-human collaboration.

	Knowledge Creation and Re-Use through Knowledge Networking
		Knowledge networks are mapped that uncover interactions within and across the boundaries of the organization.
		ONA is an outgrowth of many knowledge disciplines including social network theory, organizational behavior, interpersonal communications, chaos theory, complex adaptive systems, artificial intelligence-based search and pattern-matching, communities of practice research and a branch of mathematics called Graph Theory.
		Teams that are central in the organization's knowledge networks complete their tasks quicker than project teams who struggle to access the knowledge they need to perform their work.

	Knowledge-at-work
		Knowledge is social, needs relationships, trust and dialog to surface and must be tested.
		KM then must be about making people aware, must focus on new knowledge creation, needs linguistic processes e.g.
		Knowledge requires conversations to emerge, knowledge needs dialog, social interaction, trust and reciprocity to happen - all knowledge is social.

		In the second phase, tacit knowledge shared by, for example, a self-organizing team is converted to explicit knowledge in the form of a new concept, a process similar to externalization.
		He envisioned a self-organizing group knowledge creation process where useful organizing structures come "on-the-fly" as an emergent phenomenon; they are a by-product of people doing their knowledge work on-line from the way they name their public folders for starting and filing group discussions.
		In organizational knowledge creation, a creative mood in a group must be promoted such that individual creative acts are stimulated in relation to the body of shared group knowledge.

	Pulling sense out of today’s informational chaos
		Knowledge, then, is information that has been pulled from the chaos and made ordered, useful and understandable — it stands in a relatively small quantity outside of the excess of information.
		Knowledge is not judged as being objectively true, as information has and is still often thought of, rather it is judged as being subjectively useful.
		LiveJournal acts as a system of knowledge creation in two ways: first, on the level of individual users and their personal journals and friends pages, and second, on the larger level of community journals and discussions.

		Knowledge, leading to the correct decisions made at the correct time, is the best route to success in a post-genomics world where hundreds of companies have access to the same or similar data.
		Although explicit knowledge is the easiest to measure, it is tacit knowledge, the individual knowledge that each scientist carries, that is the most important and the hardest to harness.
		pre-genomic), knowledge creation could easily be observed in every interaction in small biotechnology companies: the direct exposure of new information between scientists; the articulation of personal, relevant knowledge; the juxtaposition of information from different sources; the process of using the new data presented to reach novel conclusions.

	Knowledge management technology
		Although the exchange is superficially one of purely explicit knowledge, the expert must first make a judgment as to the nature of the problem and then as to the most likely solution, both of which bring his or her tacit knowledge into play.
		The essence of this model is to divide the knowledge creation processes into four categories: socialization (tacit knowledge formation and communication), externalization (formation of explicit knowledge from tacit knowledge), combination (use of explicit knowledge), and internalization (formation of new tacit knowledge from explicit knowledge).
		Although early generations of knowledge management solutions (solutions typically integrate several technologies) focused on explicit knowledge in the form of documents and databases, there is a trend to expand the scope of the solutions somewhat to integrate technologies that can, to some extent, foster the use of tacit knowledge.

		The consistent components of these types of knowledge are the organizational context and the ways in which they are created -- the knowledge creation cycle.
		Knowledge within organizations is created in two distinct cycles, personal and collective.
		Personal knowledge when applied within the organizational context generates new knowledge for the individual that can then be applied to the organization, thus creating or enhancing the organization's knowledge.

	Role Of Science In Knowledge Creation: A Philosophy Of Science Perspective
		Ideally the general body of scientific knowledge should consist of facts and principles that are firmly established and accepted without serious doubt, by an overwhelming majority of competent, well-informed scientists.
		An enormous amount of knowledge resides in the ability to notice and to interpret phenomena such as clouds, the sound patterns in a wood, the behavior of a person believed to be sick, and so on.
		To suggest that the hallmark of scientific knowledge is its empirical testability is to settle for far less than we should demand of such an important enterprise as science.

	DKRC Project - Typology of Knowledge Process Creation
		Discussions of distributed knowledge frequently invoke one or more dualisms to characterize the ways in which knowledge comes to be shared within a community of inquiry.
		We will argue that this is an unproductive frame for understanding what distributed knowledge is, and how it works in communities of inquiry.
		It is not a matter of something becoming knowledge, and then being distributed; insofar as it has come to be held as knowledge, it must be distributed.

		In business, people are discovering the importance of social practices in knowledge creation (Collins and Porras, 1994) as well as the value of cooperation in fostering the ecology of an industry (Moore, 1996).
		Rather than focus purely on the competition of ideas to determine which individual idea is correct, there is a move to use a more collaborative conversational method called Dialogue to create knowledge from a group that goes beyond what any one individual can conceive (Bohm, 1990, 1994; Isaacs, 1996).
		In a related effort, we will be attempting to foster the collaborative creation of knowledge by supporting pattern languages.

		It is intended to contribute eventually to the development of microfoundations for aggregate models of knowledge externalities used in various literatures, such as those pertaining to endogenous growth theory, urban agglomeration and growth, organizational R&D and knowledge creation, and human capital accumulation.
		Our model incorporates two key aspects of the cooperative process of knowledge creation: (i) heterogeneity of people in their state of knowledge is essential for successful cooperation in the joint creation of new ideas, while (ii) the very process of cooperative knowledge creation affects the heterogeneity of people through the accumulation of knowledge in common.

	Creating Positive Context: Capabilities for customer knowledge co-creation
		To be able to contribute their own knowledge, customers first need to absorb the firm’s specific knowledge and to understand its meaning.
		Such motivation can derive from an awareness of the relevance of their knowledge contribution or from incentives in the form of early access to new products, special events, discounts and so on.
		Firms need to develop absorptive capacity with dialogue for their customers’ knowledge; that is an ability to recognise the value of customer knowledge, sense and incorporate it within the firm.
