....of effort to make requisite knowledge available In this paper, we are interested in looking at different lightweight approaches to capturing experience from projects (indicated with the bold arrow in Fig. 1) and in particular projects that are completed. This can be a way to make tacit knowledge [3] present in software development project explicit, and to store it in a knowledge repository or experience base to make it available as support for future projects. It can also be a source of data for improvement activities, which will be of interest to the management or sponsoring ....

....Leaning is then viewed as personal construction based on the social experiences at hand, whereby the learner becomes a competent member of society or a group, sharing language and other instruments. This view as a long track of subscribers, with variances, from Vygotsky [9,10] to Piaget, Polanyi [6] and others. All recognising the importance of the social dimension present in the learning experience, although sometimes disagreeing on the matter of process. We too, as teachers and engineering professionals need to recognise this dimension and effectively address it in our models and ....

....roles: 1) the transformation of data to information, 2) the derivation of new information from the existing ones, and (3) the acquisition of new knowledge. Knowledge is thus simultaneously a result and a process. Two types of knowledge must be considered, i.e. explicit and tacit knowledge [Polanyi, 1962 ; Nonaka, 1994] Explicit knowledge is easily formalized and communicated, when tacit knowledge is highly personal and difficult to express. Note that recent discussions make clearer this distinction, e.g. see [Brzillon, 2001a] Figure 2 : The context and the movements between tacit and ....

....in facilitating the creation of knowledge [51 ] Japanese manufacturing quality models have generated a new interest in knowledge creation and sharing [41,50] In these models, knowledge is created within the corporation as part of a cooperation process between workers and departments. Polanyi [56,57] provided the distinction between tacit and explicit individual knowledge. Nonanka Konno s [49] contextual knowledge 4 creation in an organizational framework placed knowledge in a collective memory as social knowledge, known also from Spender s view of social or organizational knowledge [67] ....

....recently enlightened by Nonaka [26] who distinguishes explicit and implicit knowledge and the movements between them (see also [11, 13, 12] Explicit knowledge is easily shared whereas implicit knowledge is highly personal. This last type of knowledge is the result of some internal processing [29]. In decision making, this is reminiscent to Kleins Recognition Primed Decision [20] The discussion about tacit versus explicit knowledge is not far from knowing how versus knowing that while it stresses the appropriation components. The tacit knowledge implicitly belongs to somebody whereas ....

....it are silent as to its definition. Something is suggested nevertheless by the common practice of juxtaposing mention of tacit knowledge and references to codified knowledge. What is all this about Why has this distinction been made, and what significance does it have for economists Michael Polanyi (1958, 1967) introduced the term into modern circulation, by pointing to the existence of the tacit dimension of knowledge, a form or component of human knowledge distinct from, but complementary to the knowledge explicit in conscious cognitive processes. Polanyi illustrated this conceptualization by ....

.... crucial aspects of human knowledge cannot be explicitly formulated linguistically and articulated, how can it be made a basis for optimization, or indeed, consistent calculation of any sort One may see the seeds of this flowering critique of neoclassical economics in the early attention paid to Polanyi s (1958, 1967) writings by Richard Nelson and Sidney Winter (1982) and, subsequently, in the rationale offered for the more thorough going rejection of microeconomic optimization in the evolutionary models of Schumpeterian competition. 2 The challenge brought against algorithmic representations of ....

This is described by Hartmann 2 Irrational Residue: The number of historical causes one would need to know to fully explain why an organism is as it is may not be infinite but it is sufficiently great to make it impossible to trace all causal chains to their end. As Polanyi pointed out [19], a higher animal cannot be reduced to its simpler ancestors. as follows: The base of the entire world picture is then chosen on the level of conscious experience the level on which man experiences his own subjective life and from there the principle is extended downwards to the lower level ....

....or knowledge codification activities, and rely less on tacit, semi automatic accumulation of knowledge in the minds of actors exposed to repeated tasks. This dichotomy of knowledge accumulation mechanisms follow the tradition of distinguishing between tacit and explicit knowledge, based on Polanyi s work (1962: 1966) and is akin to the autonomous vs. induced learning mechanisms advanced by Dutton Thomas (1984) as possible explanations for the learning curve phenomenon. The difference in their effectiveness for explaining the evolution of organizational competence is a matter of degree, as they both ....

....curve literature summarized above, which ties the stock of production experience to the evolution of production costs. For our purposes, however, knowledge accumulation refers specifically to the tacit absorption of wisdom provided by the simple exposure to several relatively similar events (Polanyi, 1962, 1966) In the context under study, we will follow Baum and Ginsberg (1994) notion of experience trajectory to indicate the stock and the type of acquisitions completed by the same acquirer. The other key notion of explicit articulation and codification of experiential knowledge incorporates and ....

....has found that with awareness of exposure to the original stimulus and its potential influence on evaluations, contrast, rather than assimilation, effects are observed. Such an impact requires a shift in the use of memory, from memory as a tool, to memory as an object (Jacoby and Kelley, 1987; Polanyi, 1958). Using memory as a tool implies the transparent accessing of information from memory in order to perform a current task, such as the way language is accessed in order to read a book. In this way the past sets the stage for perception and interpretation of ongoing situations. Even a single ....

....But we know more than we can say. We know how to ride a bike, to recognize a face, or to tell a grammatical sentence in our native language, but we would be hard put to turn this knowledge into explicit or codified knowledge to archive in a database for dissemination over the internet. Michael Polanyi [1962] pioneered the distinction between tacit (or personal) and explicit knowledge in the philosophy of science, and the distinction has since proven important to understand problems in the transfer of technologies, not to mention the transfer of institutions. 14 A technology is sometimes identified ....

....to transmit information, these appear as an equilibrium. One can offer several arguments in support of this. A simple reason is that individual members are apt to know the range of states in their local environments better than would be possible for any outside code designer (Simon, 1976, p. 238; Polanyi, 1962). Further, much like in the literature on incomplete contracts, unanticipated states are bound to come up, leaving members with discretion in their choice of message. Finally, philosophers and linguists have offered a number of more general reasons for the claim that any language necessarily ....

....appears as the other side of the process of division of labour. The historical evidence still does not clearly show whether the two processes have co evolved as two aspects of the same phenomenon or have mainly proceeded independently, in terms of both temporal and causal relationships (cf. Polanyi 1958), but some evidence at the microeconomic level such as analyses of the processes of design and managerial planning in modern corporations seem to support the hypothesis of co evolution. In economic organizations in which planning and design are highly purposeful activities, division of labour ....
