employee that performs, or has the knowledge of, a critical skill in your organization, the thought of them retiring or leaving can be frightening. The amount of knowledge that could potentially be walking out the door can be detrimental to any company who has not taken the time to develop a safeguard for this critical skill set/knowledge. Although you cannot control what an employee chooses to do (i.e. retire or quit), you do have control over the amount of knowledge that is left behind to someone else
The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Religion ABSTRACT: Clarity concerning what kind of knowledge a religious person possesses is of the utmost importance. For one thing, J. Whittaker remarks that believers must have some knowledge that enables them to make the distinction between literal and non-literal descriptions of God. (1) In the believer's perception 'God is a rock', but not really a rock. God however really is love. Whittaker suggests that making this distinction requires knowledge that cannot
Some knowledge can be transferred using information technology system. However there is some knowledge that cannot be written down, only can be transferred using give-and-take process by which participants develop over time, an understanding of complexities involved in a situation. Tacit knowledge used enables firm to apply important knowledge in operational activities, which results in improve efficiency, value creation and better financial performance. A key factor to successful tacit knowledge
Abstract – New knowledge creation together with existing pertinent knowledge has gained currency in the global knowledge economy. It is important not only for big firms, but for small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) also. Indian manufacturing together with service sector is one of the fastest growing sectors of Indian economy and is dominated by wit medium and not only by big industrial houses but by small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) also. This research work aims to study the knowledge of management
The debate is necessary to grasp the idea of Tacit Knowledge (TK) and Explicit Knowledge (EK); moreover it provides the insight why TK sharing is important for strategic marketing decisions. Knowledge has a number of dimensions, but research suggests the two basic dimensions of knowledge, namely: i. Explicit Knowledge (can be expressed in words and numbers, easy to capture, easy to codify, documented and easily distributed and share). ii. Tacit knowledge (embedded in the mind of people; hard to articulate
moving from a post of industrial to knowledge based economy (Drucker, 1993). To be profitable, successful and be ahead of competitors it is critical for a business to look past is physical assets and recognise the value of knowledge and strive for better ways of managing this asset. Today, knowledge management is recognised as one of the key drivers of how organisations do business, develop new product, process and measure their return of investment. Knowledge has a significant impact in the success
I argue that the behavior of other agents is insufficiently described in current debates as a dichotomy between tacit theory (attributing beliefs and desires to predict behavior) and simulation theory (imagining what one would do in similar circumstances in order to predict behavior). I introduce two questions about the foundation and development of our ability both to attribute belief and to simulate it. I then propose that there is one additional method used to predict behavior, namely, an inductive
concerning the state and laws of Athens. Central to this argument is the congeniality that Socrates had always found in Athens, reflected by the fact that Socrates chose to remain in Athens for most of his life. Such a choice, the laws insist, implies a tacit agreement between Socrates and the state of Athens, stipulating that Socrates either obey the laws or, when he deems the laws unjust, persuade the city to act in a more suitable fashion. It is this "just agreement" that prohibits Socrates from fleeing
across the scientific spectrum from the social sciences to biochemisty with applications in empirical research, modelling, and management, to name a few.1,2,3,4 While the network structure of operating sub-groups has been examined previously to our knowledge a comprehensive analysis of the operating suite incorporating all relevant participants has not yet occurred.5 In studying a network several definitions are worth reviewing (Table 1). Networks can be directed or undirected, referring to whether an
In attempting to rigidly define human existence, the Law compels humankind to be passive, to accept the incomprehensible legal machinery of the Court without question. "The only pointless thing is to try taking independent action" (175). There is a tacit assumption that freedom, whether one is accused or not, is provisional at best. Kafka uses the priest's allegory of the doorkeeper and the common man to powerfully illustrate this point. In many ways, the novel itself can be seen as an elaboration
Michael Polanyi and Lucian Blaga as Philosophers of Knowledge ABSTRACT: Polanyi and Blaga are two centennial philosophers who could be compared. They both are philosophers who have abandoned the attempt to analyze science as the form of culture capable of complete objectivity and the language solely in terms of its referential force, to make representational knowledge impersonal and to split fact from value. 1. Polanyi's epistemology Polanyi and Blaga are two centennial philosophers who
minimum thresholds, a critical mass (number of actors, related industries) for the cluster effect operates? Qualify and quantify industrial links? What should be their intensity? How accurately assess the "tacit knowledge" which depends on the direct confrontation, dissemination and circulation of knowledge? How companies organize themselves internally with respect to cluster? How companies can concretely combine cooperation and competition, through collaborative projects, but that should not put at risk
The Great Fall of Authority As Alice journeys through Wonderland and Looking-glass Land, she encounters a variety of characters whose nonsensical assertions call into question her tacit ontological assumptions. The strange logic these characters introduce to Alice forces her to acknowledge and reevaluate learned perceptions that she had previously accepted as objective truths. Because many of Carroll’s absurdities bear an exaggerated but recognizable resemblance to observable phenomena in society
construction. The lack of philosophical closure that often characterizes many of the Dialogues lends additional credence to this position. The subject-matter of many of the dialogues is, therefore, reflexive: it is about itself in the sense that the tacit lesson (practicing the dialectic) will be remembered after its ostensible subject (some philosophical problem) has ceased to be debated. Dialectic is, then, renewable and replicable as an educational method, using "psychagogy"—an instrument of maieutic—to
Upon returning to his school fifteen years after graduating, Gene Forrester, recalled his days at the Devon School in a surreal sense. In his own words, “In the deep, tacit way in which feeling becomes stronger than thought, I had always felt that the Devon School came into existence the day I entered it, was vibrantly real while I was a student there, and then blinked out like a candle the day I left.” Helping embellish this reality were his friends, including Leper Lepellier, who appeared in only
In his Second Treatise on Law and Government, John Locke outlines clear and coherent standards for what constitutes a legitimate government and what persons one such government would have authority over. Both are determined by citizens' acts of consenting to relinquish to the government part of their natural authority over their own conduct. Unfortunately, the situation becomes much less clear once we consider how his standards would apply to the political situation existing in the real world today
(Bailey, 169). A permissive attitude towards sexual harassment is another way in which schools reinforce the socialization of girls as inferior. When schools ignore sexist, racist, homophobic, and violent interactions between students, they are giving tacit approval to such behaviors. We as a society taunt boys for throwing like a girl, or crying like a girl, which implies that being a girl is worse than being a boy. According to the American Association of University Women Report, "The clear message
stage of expanding our knowledge we need to exam and discuss all components of RIM. The goal of learning this information will be to have a career in this field of study. Part of this discuss will be elaborating on the responsibilities, purpose, and guidelines in the RIM program. A considerable amount of companies in todays, business environment have a back-up plan guard against natural disasters and system malfunctions. The main concepts and terms will expand our knowledge on of RIM program. Key
critical malaise, namely the comprehensive prejudice that reason and cognition are inherently discursive: to understand is plainly the ability to describe what one has understood. Therefore his failure to nail down musical profundity amounts to a tacit acknowledgement of the ‘ineffability’ of instrumental masterpieces — resulting in musical ‘truths’ being consigned to its sensory modality or else to a demand for marshalling verbal paraphrase for explicit decoding. My proposition is that both of
Mexican army in areas under Zapatista control. The jungles of Chiapas also made a complete military victory improbable. The government changed its tactics to end the rebellion, resorting to low intensity war. Paramilitaries with differing levels of tacit and explicit support terrorized Zapatistas and their sympathizers. The killings in Acteal in 1997 that claimed the lives of 45 innocent people remains a particularly gruesome example of paramilitary massacres. Most importantly, the Mexican government
