FREE online courses on Knowledge Management - How is knowledge produced

 

Knowledge is produced by a person as a response to and as a reflection over one's own or others' experience, ideas, or some information. It is subjectivised information processing, relative to a social frame of reference. It is both social and personal, both objective and subjective, at the same time.

 

It is a part of the daily life process, yet includes a moment of detachment and reflection, a bird's eye view. It is both a belief (in relation to other beliefs and knowledge) and a potential for action. Knowledge drives towards socialization and externalization, grows further by overcoming and incorporating the responses from outside, and by undergoing the necessary modifications and improvements in itself. One knowledge both influences and is influenced by other's knowledge, both within a person and among persons.

 

Knowledge also grows in relation to applications and practices, by reflecting upon them, by determining the nature of actions, and by being modified by new knowledge and experience arising from such actions, and also by the person's reflections on this and other's knowledge.
