Knowledge Creating and Sharing Corporate Culture Framework

Abstract

Most knowledge - and particularly know-how - tends to be implicit, difficult to communicate in an easy form, and sometimes impossible to document, this is the tacit knowledge. Tacit knowledge provides competitive advantage for future successful companies. Making tacit knowledge available to others should be the central activity of the knowledge and innovation creating organization. A prerequisite for the evolution of tacit knowledge is an open culture in an organization, interaction with others. So, knowledge sharing is the fundamental means through which employees can contribute to knowledge creating, innovation, and ultimately the competitive advantage of the organization. But there are some barriers in the creation and sharing knowledge so that they become critical processes in corporate knowledge management. This paper proposes a framework approach, to integrate creation and sharing knowledge process, based on the resolution of the main walls which exist within both process, and which the company can exploit using different tools. The expected benefits of this approach include personal satisfaction and development, rationalization of decision-making processes by making them explicit, increase productivity, increasing knowledge creation and sharing culture and innovation.
