Chapter Chapter 8 in Uninterrupted Knowledge Creation, 2020, pp 85-93 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract From a mainstream perspective, knowledge creation is basically a process of transmission between individuals in which data are converted into information through the medium of knowledge, which may be explicit but, far more importantly, may be tacit. The transmission of knowledge between people is a process of conversion between tacit and explicit forms based on mimicry in tacit–tacit transfers, group dialogue and discussion in metaphorical and analogical language in tacit–explicit transfers, formalization and codification in explicit–explicit transfers and internalization in explicit–tacit transfers. Knowledge is understood to move in this way through the interplay of individual and group/systemic/social levels (Nonaka and Takeuchi 1995; Stacey 2001).
