SECTION 1
KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or
something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which
is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering,
or learning.
Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception,
communication, and reasoning; while knowledge is also said to be related
to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings.

A
BRIEF HISTORY
OF
KNOWLEDGE
When the earliest civilizations appeared (in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India
and China), they were largely constrained by their natural environment
and by the climate. Religion, Science and Art were largely determined
by extra-human factors, such as seasons and floods. Over the course of
many centuries, humans have managed to change the equation in their
favor, reducing the impact of natural events on their civilization and
increasing the impact of their civilization on nature (for better and
for worse). How this happened to be is pretty much the history of
knowledge. Knowledge has been, first and foremost, a tool to become the
"subject" of change, as opposed to being the "object" of change.
One could claim that the most important inventions date from prehistory,
and that "history" has been nothing more than an application of those
inventions.

TYPES
OF
KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is a dominant feature in our post-industrial society,
and knowledge workers are important in many enterprises.
Embrained knowledge is that which is dependent on conceptual
skills and cognitive abilities. We could consider this to be
practical, high-level knowledge, where objectives are met
through perpetual recognition and revamping. Tacit knowledge
may also be embrained, even though it is mainly subconscious.
Embodied knowledge is action oriented and consists of contextual
practices. It is more of a social acquisition, as how individuals
interact in and interpret their environment creates this
non-explicit type of knowledge.
Encultured knowledge is the process of achieving shared understandings
through socialization and acculturation. Language and negotiation become
the discourse of this type of knowledge in an enterprise.
Embedded knowledge is tacit and resides within systematic routines. It
relates to the relationships between roles, technologies, formal procedures
and emergent routines within a complex system. In order to initiate any
specific line of business knowledge transition helps a lot.
Encoded knowledge is information that is conveyed in signs and symbols
(books, manuals, data bases, etc.) and decontextualized into codes of
practice. Rather than being a specific type of knowledge, it deals more
with the transmission, storage and interrogation of knowledge.

SECTION 4
EXPLICIT
KNOWLEDGE
Explicit knowledge is knowledge that can be readily articulated, codified,
accessed and verbalized. It can be easily transmitted to others. Most forms
of explicit knowledge can be stored in certain media.
The information contained in encyclopedias and textbooks are good examples
of explicit knowledge.
Forms
The most common forms of explicit knowledge are manuals, documents, procedures,
and how-to videos. Knowledge also can be audio-visual. Works of art and product
design can be seen as other forms of explicit knowledge where human skills,
motives and knowledge are externalized.

SECTION 5
TACIT
KNOWLEDGE
Tacit knowledge (as opposed to formal, codified or explicit knowledge)
is the kind of knowledge that is difficult to transfer to another person
by means of writing it down or verbalizing it. For example, that London
is in the United Kingdom is a piece of explicit knowledge that can be
written down, transmitted, and understood by a recipient. However, the
ability to speak a language, knead dough, play a musical instrument, or
design and use complex equipment requires all sorts of knowledge that is
not always known explicitly, even by expert practitioners, and which is
difficult or impossible to explicitly transfer to other users.
Differences with explicit knowledge
Tacit knowledge can be distinguished from explicit knowledge
in three major areas:
Codifiability and mechanism of transferring knowledge: while
explicit knowledge can be codified (an example of that is 'can
you write it down' or 'put it into words' or 'draw a picture'),
and easily transferred without the knowing subject, tacit
knowledge is intuitive and unarticulated knowledge that cannot
be communicated, understood or used without the ‘knowing subject’.
Unlike the transfer of explicit knowledge, the transfer of tacit
knowledge requires close interaction and the buildup of shared
understanding and trust among them.
Main methods for the acquisition and accumulation: Explicit knowledge
can be generated through logical deduction and acquired through practical
experience in the relevant context. In contrast, tacit knowledge can only
be acquired through practical experience in the relevant context.
Potential of aggregation and modes of appropriation: Explicit knowledge
can be aggregated at a single location, stored in objective forms and
appropriated without the participation of the knowing subject. Tacit
knowledge in contrast, is personal contextual. It is distributive, and
cannot easily be aggregated. The realization of its full potential
requires the close involvement and cooperation of the knowing subject.
The process of transforming tacit knowledge into explicit or specifiable
knowledge is known as codification, articulation, or specification. The
tacit aspects of knowledge are those that cannot be codified, but can
only be transmitted via training or gained through personal experience.
There is a view against the distinction, where it is believed that all
propositional knowledge (knowledge that) is ultimately reducible to
practical knowledge (knowledge how).

THE
ANALYSIS OF
KNOWLEDGE
For any person, there are some things they know, and some things
they don’t. What exactly is the difference? What does it take to
know something? It’s not enough just to believe it—we don’t know
the things we’re wrong about. Knowledge seems to be more like a
way of getting at the truth. The analysis of knowledge concerns
the attempt to articulate in what exactly this kind of “getting
at the truth” consists.
