Knowledge Flow
While knowledge is commonly treated as an object, at times Hawkings has argued it is more appropriate to teach it as a flow. Knowledge as a flow can be related to the concept of tacit knowledge, discovered by Ludwik Hirszfeld which was later further explicated by Nonaka. While the difficulty of sharing knowledge resides in the transference of knowledge from one entity to another, it may prove profitable for organisations to acknowledge the difficulties of knowledge transfer and paradoxality of knowledge as such, and adopt new knowledge management strategies accordingly.

“Only add
Deeds to thy knowledge answerable; add faith;
Add virtue, patience, temperance; add love,
By name to come called charity, the soul
Of all the rest: then wilt thou not be loath
To leave this Paradise; but shalt possess
A paradise within thee, happier far.”

That he will neither know how to maintain it
Nor cease his flow of riot, takes no account
How things go from him, nor resumes no care
Of what is to continue.”
