I wish that this post had gone into more detail. The distinction between "tacit (or personal) knowledge and explicit (or formal) knowledge" is an important one in educational theory (and knowledge management). But the post does contain a link to Ron Sanchez's Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning: Fundamental Concepts for Theory and Practice, which makes up for the lack of detail. The first section contains an extended discussion of the distinction between (what the author calls) 'personal knowledge' and 'organizational knowledge'. The second section examines the advantages and disadvantages of an emphasis on one over the other. An intermediate mode - group learning - is interposed between the two, which leads to five cycles of knowledge management.
