- W2783229616 abstract "Area of Concern: There is a growing awareness that tacit knowledge accounts for asubstantial portion of vital knowledge in both individuals and organisations. The advent ofknowledge and organisational management frameworks has brought about a realisation thatthe difficulty of managing tacit knowledge is primarily due to a wide variety of conflictingdefinitions in both philosophy and scientific theories (Gourlay, 2004). These conflicts inliterature are yet to be resolved by current frameworks, particularly those that examine themodels of tacit knowledge flow in organisations. This indicates that a gap exists for creating anew foundation for identifying tacit knowledge. For this to be achieved, empirical data hasbeen collated in the form of perceptions of personnel at two SME organisations inManchester. The research has obtained these perceptions through semi-structured qualitativeinterviews. These interviews form the necessary data for analysis that has been carried out using the method of aspectual analysis. Aspectual analysis derives from the principles ofHerman Dooyeweerd’s theory of modal aspects, and has been the primary form of analysis ofthe data collected. By utilising these modal aspects, and applying Dooyeweerd’s theory ofknowing to the concept of tacit knowing; this research aims to identify different forms of tacitknowledge and their varying degrees of explication. This research may in turn be used tounite the views of tacit knowledge in literature, and propel the current discourse into a moreconstructive narrative that the researcher hopes will aid greater understanding of theimportance of tacit knowledge. It may also be used as a base for the extension of literature inareas where knowledge is paramount such as organisational learning and the creation offrameworks for managing tacit knowledge in both organisational & knowledge management.This issues discussed thus lead to the researcher asking the question:“How can Dooyeweerd’s philosophy be used to analyse the tacit knowledge held by a varietyof people of at an SME thus revealing the different types of tacit knowledge and discerningwhich types can be explicated?”In answering this main research question, the research has achieved three main contributionsthat can be described as: Theoretical, Practical, and Methodological.Theoretical Contribution: The research performed a review of both philosophical andpractical literature on tacit knowledge showing that there is no agreed foundation fordefining, identifying or explicating tacit knowledge. In terms of philosophical review of thenature of tacit knowledge, authors such as Yu (2004)’s Wittgenstein examination of Polanyi’stacit knowing encompasses detailed review of philosophical underpinnings of tacit knowing,but ultimately limited scope of the types of tacit knowing and exploration of their differinglevels of explication. This research expands this thinking and shows how these different areascan be articulated. In the case of practical literature, authors such as Gourlay (2002;2004)show how different empirical researchers define tacit knowledge differently, yet do not gofurther into stating that this are different types of tacit knowledge being discussed. Theconflict is illuminated, but the theoretical frameworks for accounting for differences in tacit knowledge views tends to exclude rather than include important observations. This researchshows how different views of tacit knowledge can be unified within a singular framework asguided by Dooyeweerd’s modal aspects.Practical Contribution: As Gourlay (2004) notes, different empirical studies have takenmultiple interpretations of tacit knowledge in their research, thus resulting in ambiguity onthe nature of tacit knowledge in research. Gourlay review shows that two of the maindifferences in literature concerning the nature of tacit knowledge is whether tacit knowledge is individually or collectively held and whether it can be made explicit. In addressing the firstproblematic of individually or collectively held tacit knowing, the research in this thesisshows how different types of tacit knowledge are held in a spectrum with some individuallyheld, and others collectively held and also some with both a collective and individualcomponent of knowing. In the second problematic of explication, the research creates aframework that shows how some forms of tacit knowledge can be explicated to varyingdegrees within the spectrum of different types of tacit knowing while utilising aspectual analysis and the property of inter-aspect reaching out.Methodological Contribution: The research expands on utilising Dooyeweerd’s philosophyto illuminate scientific fields in this case applying the theory of modal aspects in conjunctionwith the property of inter-aspect reaching out within the modal spheres to reveal the forms oftacit knowledge that exists behind “the making of a statement”, and the tacit knowledge thatexists “behind the content of the statement” within an interview setting. This is an expansionof aspectual analysis that is described by authors such as Winfield (2001) & Basden (2008)." @default.
