Nonaka-Takeuchi Model (Knowledge Creation)

The Nonaka-Takeuchi Model explains how organizations create knowledge through a dynamic process involving both explicit knowledge (written information) and tacit knowledge (personal experience). It proposes four key steps: socialization (sharing personal experiences), externalization (articulating tacit knowledge), combination (systematizing explicit knowledge), and internalization (absorbing explicit knowledge into practice). This continuous cycle fosters innovation and learning by converting knowledge forms and encouraging collaboration. Essentially, it illustrates how organizations turn individual insights into shared understanding, driving growth and adaptability through ongoing knowledge creation.
