The Knowledge-Creating Company (book by Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi)

"The Knowledge-Creating Company," by Nonaka and Takeuchi, explores how organizations generate and utilize knowledge to innovate and stay competitive. It emphasizes that companies succeed by fostering a culture where tacit knowledge (personal, intuitive insights) and explicit knowledge (formal information) continuously interact. Through mechanisms like social interaction, shared experiences, and knowledge sharing, organizations create a dynamic process called the "knowledge spiral," which drives innovation and growth. The book highlights the importance of leadership, organizational culture, and dynamic knowledge management in transforming companies into innovative, learning entities.
