Abstract

Currently, tacit knowledge has attracted increasing research attention. However, the theoretical foundation of tacit knowledge is still not well formulated, because the researches are very disperse. This work provides a review of the current researches. First, the definition of tacit knowledge is discussed by answering several questions. Next, tacit knowledge sharing, tacit knowledge quantization are identified as two research topics in the current research community. Following that, the technical progress of each topic is summarized and analyzed. Finally, we provide a thumbnail of the researches and identify three research consensuses to answer where we are. While, seven research directions are identified to answer where we shall go.
