Abstract

The concept of tacit knowledge is widely used in social sciences to refer to all those knowledge that cannot be codified and have to be transferred by personal contacts. All this literature has been affected by two kind of “biases”: (1) the interest has been focused more on the result (tacit knowledge) than on the process (implicit learning); (2) “tacit knowledge” has been somehow reduced to physical skills or know-how; other possible forms of tacit knowledge have been neglected. These two “biases” seem interconnected one with each other. A greater consideration of the role and relevance of implicit learning allows us to consider tacit knowledge as something more than pure physical skills or know how. This is the first step in order to develop more detailed categorisation of the different forms that tacit knowledge can assume.
