Summary
Description 1
The third type of knowledge, tacit knowledge, is the most difficult to recall and, thus, to transfer. Tacit knowledge includes knowledge about topics such as how to ride a bicycle or how to talk. These examples describe knowledge everybody just has. However, every individual possesses a lot of tacit knowledge. Employees, for example, tacitly know how they persuade other people, how to behave in different situations, or how to organize a meeting. Such knowledge cannot be completely explained, since it is wholly embodied in the individual, rooted in practice and experience, expressed through skillful execution, and transmitted by apprenticeship and training through watching and doing forms of learning [5]. Tacit knowledge can be observed; however, it is doubtful that all of this knowledge can be converted to explicit knowledge. This fact is why it is said, “We know more than we know that we know.”
