Abstract:

There is current debate in the literature about the meaning of “tacit knowledge.” The debate can be seen
as forming three schools of thought. We used Ambrosini and Bowman’s (2001) method to operationalize
tacit knowledge from a sample of senior managers. We chose this method because it does not violate the
basic tenets of the any of the three schools of thought and allowed us to analyze the data from all three
perspectives. Finally, we compare the perspectives. We found that two of the schools of thought are
entirely compatible and enrich each other. The third is not.
