Externalisierung impliziten Wissens

The central importance of knowledge as a factor of production has long been recognized. However, the economic significance of implicit knowledge has only recently been emphasized. It is a phenomenon that is difficult to grasp, and its integration into the economic context poses challenges. This study provides a social-psychological analysis of implicit knowledge and examines the possibilities for its transformation into its explicit counterpart within the context of business organizations. The externalization of implicit knowledge represents an important starting point for organizational knowledge distribution and development and should therefore be interpreted not only as an element of knowledge management but also as a process of organizational learning.
