Tacit Knowledge Space and Organizational Efficiency

Sidharta Chatterjee

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: In this paper I discuss what we mean by a “Tacit Knowledge Space” (TKS) and how it relates to organizational efficiency. The idea of tacit knowledge space is a borrowed concept from Michael Polanyi’s seminal work and it derives a rich understanding of an organizational space which is occupied by knowledge dimension characterizing the implicit aspects of knowledge transfer and decodification of the tacit component of learning and skill development into its more readily applicable explicit counterpart. This TKS is a growing space in knowledge organizations and workplaces that is found to be immensely useful among the knowledge workers of today. We discuss these issue and construct a structural frame to model such a space that has organizational implications and contributes to employee efficiency in the long run.
