Compare and contrast the cognitive and connectionist approaches to knowledge management. Why is the connectionist approach more suited to the von Krogh KM model?

Compare and contrast the cognitive and connectionist approaches to knowledge
management. Why is the connectionist approach more suited to the von Krogh KM

model? What are the strengths of this approach? What are its weaknesses? Use examples to make your points.

. Describe how the major types of knowledge (i.e., tacit and explicit) are transformed
in the Nonaka and Takeuchi knowledge spiral model of KM. Use a concrete
example to make your point (e.g., a bright idea that occurs to an individual in the
organization).

a. Which transformations would prove to be the most diffi cult? Why?

b. Which transformation would prove to be fairly easy? Why?

c. What other key factors would infl uence how well the knowledge spiral model
worked within a given organization?
