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.

Famous quotes containing the words knowledge and/or flow:
“I believe no satirist could breathe this air. If another Juvenal or Swift could rise up among us tomorrow, he would be hunted down. If you have any knowledge of our literature, and can give me the name of any man, American born and bred, who has anatomised our follies as a people, and not as this or that party; and who has escaped the foulest and most brutal slander, the most inveterate hatred and intolerant pursuit; it will be a strange name in my ears, believe me.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
