Knowledge Creation and Management Processes

Start with the ideas

Begin with the Knowledge mind map for an overview of tacit and explicit knowledge, the difference between knowledge and information, and how knowledge is managed. It also touches on co-creation and innovation. Use its branches to see how the ideas are grouped before exploring them in more detail.

The Introduction KM mind map offers another starting point. It includes tacit and explicit knowledge, management models and the knowledge spiral. Comparing the two maps can help you identify concepts you want to study further.

Explore creation and learning

The mind map on the knowledge-creating company focuses on conversion from tacit to explicit knowledge. The Concept of "Ba" looks at shared spaces for emerging relationships, including physical, virtual and mental spaces. Read these alongside the opening maps to consider how knowledge creation is represented in different ways.

Knowledge & learning development covers motivation, experience, intelligence and previous knowledge. Absorptive Capacity explores a firm's absorptive capacity and innovative capabilities. There is also a mind map about knowledge creation in a video games firm.

Use the flashcards and quiz

MANG3010 L5 includes prompts about knowledge storage and acquisition. After reading a map, use the flashcards to practice recalling characteristics, techniques and difficulties. Return to the maps when you want to revisit the related concepts.

Chapter 3b IRM is the quiz on this page. It includes a question about the integration of technologies and mechanisms that support knowledge management processes. Try it after exploring the maps, then look back at the resources to review the ideas you want to work on.

Place the topic in its unit

Knowledge Creation and Management Processes is a section of the Knowledge Management unit in Business administration and management (incl. project management). The resources on this page offer ways into that section, from broad maps to focused questions. Choose a map and pair it with the quiz as you study.
