The Impact of Cognitive Styles on Different Stages of Knowledge Management Cycle
Description:
While explicit knowledge can be to some extent separated from human brain and stored in organizational memory, tacit knowledge cannot be detached from the individuals who possess it, therefore its management cannot rely primarily on technologies. This calls for knowledge-worker centered approach. Individuals with different cognitive styles process information differently and use a variety of reasoning patterns for decision making and building their personal knowledge bases. The paper overviews the potential applications of the construct of cognitive style to managerial practice in knowledge intensive organizations. It also presents a model that can help visualize the relationships between different cognitive styles and knowledge management processes. The model also demonstrates how such cognitive dimensions manifest themselves at different stages of KM cycle.
