OKLC 2002 - Athens: Gourlay 1Tacit knowledge , Tacit knowing or behaving ? Stephen Gourlay Kingston Business School Kingston upon Thames, UK Abstract The phrase Tacit knowledge is used in a wide range of disciplines. Examination of definitions and usage in knowledge management, AI, sociology of science, and psychology reveals common aspects, but significant variations. It is a concept without consistency, or clear foundation. Polanyi in fact wrote of Tacit knowing , a process, and so may have been misinterpreted. His emphasis on process may prove fruitful as a perspective on knowing / knowledge as process, specifically as sign-process, is outlined and justified which has the potential to provide a useful framework for conceptual and empirical work on knowledge with a view to its management.
