Explicit knowledge is formal andsystematic. It can be easily communicatedand shared, as in a book or a database in

the library, product specifications, ascientific formula or a computer program.

Tacit knowledge is highly personal,unrecorded and unarticulated. It is hard toformalize and therefore difficult, if notsometimes impossible, to communicate.

EXPLICIT vs. TACIT

Quote from Andrew Carnegie(well known American Educator)

people. The productivity of that capital depends on how

effectively people share their competence with those who canuse it."
