Developing the Tacit Knowledge. Potential through Education
Developing the Tacit Knowledge. Potential through Education

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present some results of our research concerning tacit knowledge as a valuable intellectual capital potential, and how we can enhance its potential through education. Tacit knowledge is a rather fuzzy concept developed especially in the last years in connection with knowledge management and intellectual capital fields of research. Tacit knowledge represents personal knowledge obtained as a result of the direct interaction between individuals and their environment, which in time becomes experience. It contains also intuitions, feelings, hunches, talent and many other forms of knowledge which are non-rational. Tacit knowledge represents an excellent reservoir of intangible resources from which we can develop innovation capabilities if we create an adequate learning environment through education.
