Study on classification of the tacit knowledge using an eye-tracking interface: Experiment of observation pictures and assessment of reproduction drawing

Abstract

When a person arrives at knowledge-creation by a sequence of knowledge conversion that who finds Knowledge from Information, Information from Data, a group may undergo knowledge-conversion similar to a person, too. On the other hand, knowledge-creation process may be complexed by the knowledge-creation, resulted from individual knowledge of group member, in the knowledge conversion by group. That is to say, it's important for practicing effectively group-knowledge-creation to disclose these knowledge conversion process and order measuring method for externalized knowledge. In this study, we propose the group formation method when we want to activate knowledge of group, and analyze it by the experiment. © Springer-Verlag 2010.
