Description
There are many different definitions of knowledge processes used in the literature. In the literature, authors such as By Mark W. McElroy [1] describe the mechanisms by which knowledge is produced, validated and integrated in organizations and many refer to these as knowledge processes.
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.
