Role of the tacit information within knowledge management systems

Within the knowledge management arena, two forms of knowledge have been considered, in the aim of implanting systems and align them with the available resources: explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge. In this sense, resources based on information technology have demonstrated a good alignment and have been a great help for storing explicit knowledge and, in some cases, for recovery it. However, when it comes to storing, distributing or sharing tacit knowledge, the same systems offer significant limitations.
