Study On Tacit Knowledge Flow And Transform In Corporation

Knowledge can be classified into tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge. It is easy to store and transform explicit knowledge, which can be transmitted by languages, by the means of formalization, institutionalization and structuring. While tacit knowledge is in heads, teamwork conventional and organizational memory, which is hard to be coded, delivered copied and stolen by others. Tacit knowledge is the basis to create new knowledge and form core competence.Explicit knowledge can be stored and delivered by information and network technology while tacit knowledge depends on mutual connection of people to share and absorb the effects in which there are many problems need to be solved. It is very important to study interaction and relation of individual, group and organization in the process of tacit knowledge flow and transform. It is significant to establish tacit knowledge management theory of corporation, improve corporation management theory and method, master corporation competition advantage and promote Chinese corporation knowledge innovation by solving the puzzles in the process of tacit knowledge flow and transform.The study is on the basis of System science, Economics, Psychology, Behavior science, Social science and their methods, of which the objective is tacit knowledge carrier (individual, group, organization), and their interactive relations. Based on analysis of the connotation, profit and loss, level, process mechanism, compound mechanism and network of tacit knowledge flow and transform are studied as core section, complex relation and general rule of tacit knowledge flow and transform are revealed, then influence mechanisms of tacit knowledge flow and transform effect are analyzed and demonstration discussed, and some strategies to promote tacit knowledge flow and transform are proposed from different aspects. Some basic problems, such as the connotation cost, benefit and risk of tacit knowledge flow & transform, are analyzed. The level of tacit knowledge flow & transform is classified by"individual-group-corporation"mutually. The knowledge creation mechanism in the process of tacit knowledge flow & transform is studied to establish a new knowledge creation model, which reveals concrete procedure, type and mode of knowledge creation in the process of tacit knowledge flow & transform.Basic support mechanism - organizational environment, behavior mechanism - social exchange, and comprehensive control mechanism - knowledge integration are studied systematically. Organizational environment is discussed from aspects of soil, air, water and guarantee; and knowledge market and environment incentive are emphasized. In the process of tacit knowledge flow & transform, the principle, medium, motivation of social exchange are revealed. Based on systems science, knowledge integration mechanism in the process of tacit knowledge flow & transform is proposed, and the model on knowledge integration power is established, then the intrinsic mechanism and the effective realization of knowledge integration is revealed from the perspective of systematical feedback.From the perspective of social network, tacit knowledge flow & transform network is studied synthesized quantity and quality method. Radiant, chain, interactive, compound network modes are proposed in terms of Interpersonal network. The relations of tacit knowledge flow & transform and social influence, network centralization, network tie are analyzed. As an example to tacit knowledge flow & transform network in HRB, The indicators of whole network, centralization, small-group, role, position are measured and analyzed with SNA, structure influence and rule of tacit knowledge flow & transform network is illustrated.It focuses on organizational environment, social exchange, network capability, knowledge integration to study influence mechanism of tacit knowledge flow & transform effect. The concept model is established and hypotheses are proposed, then questionnaire is designed and data is analyzed. The actual impact of tacit knowledge flow & transform effect are checked with structural equation modeling, and some strategies to promote tacit knowledge flow & transform are discussed from different aspects.
