A Workspace to Manage Tacit Knowledge Contributing to Railway Product Development during Tendering

  • Conference paper
Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (IC3K 2010)

Abstract

Railway products development during the Tendering phase is very challenging and tacit knowledge of experts remains the key of its success. Therefore, there is a need to capture and preserve tacit knowledge used during Tendering in order to improve, in time, railway products development. In this context, we think that tacit knowledge management and organizational learning need to be intertwined and supported by a dedicated workspace. In this paper, we propose the model and the implementation of such a workspace.
