Abstract: Knowledge creation is considered an invaluable asset of companies to survive in the highly competitive global market. However, only a few researchers have articulated how organisations actually create knowledge. Nonaka and his colleagues are an exception to this and their model has been widely cited and utilised as a framework in many articles and studies. The aim of this study is to examine how the Nonaka's model is realised in three types of knowledge work: whether all the knowledge conversions can be identified in knowledge work, how these conversions are emphasised, and what are the methods for accomplishing these conversions. The aim of the paper is two-fold: first, it provides further understanding of the knowledge processes (knowledge conversions) that lead to knowledge creation in organisations, and second, it examines, comments, and complements the model of Nonaka et al. in relation to knowledge work.
