Nonaka-Takeuchi model

The Nonaka-Takeuchi Model explains how organizations create and manage knowledge. It highlights two types: tacit knowledge (personal, intuitive) and explicit knowledge (documented, easily shared). The model describes a cycle of knowledge conversion through four stages: socialization (sharing experiences), externalization (articulating knowledge), combination (organizing and integrating information), and internalization (applying knowledge in practice). Together, these stages enhance innovation and learning within an organization, showing how knowledge evolves and becomes more accessible to everyone. This framework helps businesses leverage knowledge to improve processes and drive growth.
