Abstract

This article takes a platform-dependent approach to examine the features of exploiting intangible or tacit knowledge on the current digital platform. It highlights three characteristics based on combining several knowledge generation channels between tacit and explicit knowledge. It also argues that to release the power of the current digital platform for exploiting tacit knowledge, several challenges have to be dealt with in order to reduce leakage of tacit knowledge and increasing the efficiency of the knowledge transformation process.
