Answer 1

Organizational knowledge is the sum of all knowledge contained within an organization that can provide business value. It may be gained from intellectual property, product knowledge, lessons of failure and success, conferences, or customer communications, just to name a few sources. The tacit aspects of knowledge are those that cannot be codified, but can only be transmitted via training or gained through personal experience. Tacit knowledge is the knowledge that we possess that is garnered from personal experience and context. It's the information that, if asked, would be the most difficult to write down, articulate, or present in a tangible form. As an example, think of learning how to make simple course outlines for students.
