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 ...

Nonaka‟s proposition that knowledge is created through the interaction of tacit and explicit knowledge involving four modes of knowledge conversion is flawed. Three of the modes appear plausible but none are supported by evidence that cannot be explained more simply. The conceptual framework omits inherently tacit knowledge, and uses a radically subjective definition of knowledge: knowledge is ...

The management of knowledge is frequently identified as an important antecedent of innovation (Antonelli, 1999; Carneiro, 2000; Dove, 1999; Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995). However, very little empirical research has specifically addressed antecedents and consequences of effective knowledge management. Using data collected from 443 New Zealand firms, a knowledge management instrument, which comprises ...

Increasingly, knowledge is recognized as a critical asset, where a firm or an individual’s competitive advantage flows from a unique knowledge base. The subsequent degree to which knowledge is then recognized and valued as a resource, has been the theme of many papers on competitive advantage (Prahalad and Hamel, 1990; Barney, 1991; D’Aveni, 1994; Teece and Pisano, 1994; Spender, 1996; Nonaka a...

In 1959 Penrose referred to the importance of knowledge for using resources more innovatively and profitably, and in the same year Drucker indicated greater value should be placed on knowledge workers. An article by Nonaka (1991) suggested that the source of lasting competitive advantage is knowledge. Since then there has been a growing interest in knowledge, and an emerging view that the shari...

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...
