Abstract

The respect and adoption of each employee’s intelligence is the key to continuous company management (Davenport and Prusak 1998). Polanyi (1958) divided knowledge into tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge based on the degree of expression. Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) defined knowledge as a kind of personal characteristic that is too abstract to transfer or even express using words. According to the professional level, Quinn et al. (1996) categorized knowledge into know-what, know-how, know-why, and care-why. In the case of strategic-knowledge management, anticipative capacity building is key to preparing and developing domestic and international cadres of strategic personnel for all sectors—public, nonprofit, and profit (Schein 1995; Argyris and Schon 1996). Howells (1996) thought that knowledge was a kind of expertise that was not editable.
