“…By its nature, certain components of TK reside in the subconscious of the knower and are inaccessible for verbalization. The sharing of TK occurs largely through social interaction, often in spontaneous or serendipitous fashion (Agarwal and Islam, 2014;Buckley and Giannakopoulos, 2009;Crowley, 1999;Hamza, 2011;Hayward-Wright, 2009;Kennedy et al, 2012;Shao et al, 2016). The term implicit is sometimes used synonymously with tacit but can also be thought of as middle groundexplicit knowledge that has not yet been recorded or codified (Hayward-Wright, 2009).…”

“…For examples, corporations have a long history of attempting to codify the knowledge in practice of their individual employees to enhance their organization's “intellectual capital” (Johnson, Lorenz, & Lundvall, 2002). It can be argued that this type of appropriation for codification is also done by scholars who study communities of practice specifically to inform their own theories (Crowley, 1999).
