LEARNING SOURCE KNOWLEDGE MODEL

According to Nonaka, knowledge model can be classified as
(http://www.citehr.com/977-frame-works-knowledge-management.html)

Socialization: the sharing of tacit knowledge between individuals through joint activities, physical proximity.

Externalization: the expression of tacit knowledge in publicly comprehensible forms.

Combination: the conversion of explicit knowledge into more complex sets of explicit knowledge: communication, dissemination, systematization of explicit knowledge.

Internalization: the conversion of externalized knowledge into tacit knowledge on an individual or organizational scale. The embodiment of explicit knowledge into actions, practices, processes and strategic initiatives.

My view in Knowledge Models

knowledge creation can be done by two types of knowledge namely tacit and explicit knowledge, Tacit knowledge is sharing of individual knowledge to others and Explicit knowledge is sharing of knowledge from any storage devices and distributed to others


SOCIALIZATION
It involves the sharing of knowledge between two individuals, this get together can be done when we spend time or living with colleagues.
example: Team meeting in an organisation required for the productivity.

EXTERNALIZATION
It is peer to peer network,It involves sharing of individual knowledge are commited into group and then represented in group or else according to nonka, the sum of individual intension and ideas fuse and became integrated with group mwntal world.The conversion of tacit to explicit knowledge can be done in two factors as follows
a)Converting knowledge as image,figure,concepts and words.
b)Converting knowledge as customer understandable form.
example: group coursework or our buffalo organisation in KM module

COMBINATION
It is a group to group network.Conversion of knowledge in the organisation into complex set of knowledge.this is done by capturing information then presenting and then reporting it.
example: preparation of drugs

INTERNALIZATION
It involes converting of explicit to tacit knowledge, this requires how individuals is contributed to the organisation.

  2. Two things Jasmine:
    1. The citation you gave in your first paragraph i.e. (http://www.citehr.com/977-frame-works-knowledge-management.html), is in my view not in the right format. It should have been like (Nonaka, 1995). Also the referencing of it at the bottom of the article doesn't fully meet Harvard style.
    2. Arising from the feedback we have got, it is now time to move from definitions to application in organizational contexts. I encourage you to try it as I will try to do so.
