Nonaka and Takeuchi

Nonaka and Takeuchi are renowned for their work on knowledge management, particularly through their model of how organizations create, share, and utilize knowledge. They emphasize the importance of both explicit knowledge (easily articulated and shared, like documents) and tacit knowledge (personal, experience-based insights). Their key concept, the "SECI model," describes how these types of knowledge interact: Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization. This process helps organizations innovate and improve by effectively harnessing the collective knowledge of their employees, ultimately fostering a learning culture that drives success and adaptability.
