Types of knowledge

Explicit knowledge: is a language which can be transferred to people in language and transmitted among individuals.

Tacit (implicit) knowledge: it is based on individual’s experience, learning, perspective and values. Also called as formal knowledge.

So for knowledge management to succeed, we need to treat knowledge as an activity and not as an object.

Knowledge Is basically full utilization of information and data coupled with people’s skills, competencies, ideas, intuitions, commitments, motivations.

Knowledge management

Understanding the relationships of data.Identifying and documenting rules for

managing data.Assuring that data are accurate and maintain

integrity.It is concerned with mapping of knowledge

and information resources, both online and offline.

In more simple terms, KM seeks to make best use of the knowledge that is available to an organisation, creating

new knowledge, increasing awareness and understanding in the process.

Need for knowledge management

Why do you need to manage knowledge?1. Rate of innovation is rising.2. To replace informal knowledge with formal

methods.3. Competitive pressures.4. Time to acquire experience and knowledge

has diminished5. Early retirements and increasing mobility of

workforce lead to loss of knowledge.
