This paper presents a critique of key empirical aspects of Nonaka’s model of knowledge creation. If, as is now widely accepted, it is important to manage knowledge for a variety of reasons, then it is equally important that we have good models to assist this process. Nonaka and his colleagues’ model, in particular the SECI matrix of knowledge conversion, is increasingly being cited by authors i...

Dearing report by Higher Education Funding Council for England, 2006, suggested that in the times of intensified global competition, high- level skills and knowledge would become pertinent indispensable country’s economic success.

GNE myopathy (previous names: HIBM, DMRV, IBM2) is a unique distal myopathy with quadriceps sparing. This recessively inherited myopathy has been diagnosed in various regions of the world with more than 150 disease-causing mutations already identified. Several of those are proven or suspected to be founder mutations in certain regional clusters and are described in this review. The review also ...

A new conception of knowledge and knowledge conversions is introduced. It is represented by a knowledge cube, a three-dimensional model of knowledge with types, kinds and qualities, and allows a description of general knowledge conversions between those. Through this conception we gain a sound basis for knowledge management. We can describe knowledge-intensive business processes in a company, b...
