Description
In the literature, authors such as N.T. Pham and F.W. Swierczek [1] describe the mechanisms by which knowledge is accumulated, disseminated and stored in organizations and many refer to these as knowledge processes. There are many different definitions of knowledge processes used in the literature. This research classified the more widely used and accepted definitions into one of five primary knowledge processes, shown below in Figure 1. The primary knowledge processes are defined as [2]:
- Knowledge acquisition and adoption;
- Knowledge generation and validation;
- Knowledge sharing and transfer;
- Knowledge retention and storage; and
- Knowledge utilization and application.
Knowledge processes can be viewed as the means by which organizations build, maintain and apply the tacit and explicit knowledge in all its various forms.
