Organizations hide knowledge for a variety of reasons, which can be grouped into three categories: Reasons relating to the organisation, such as a competitive atmosphere, unfavourable norms or policies, and a demotivating climate. In the workplace, tacit knowledge refers to business-specific know-how. It can involve abilities such as how to complete a sales deal or how to easily manage consumer requirements. These skills are developed via specialised work experience and are not always easy to impart to other members of the team. Organizations have always considered themself in terms of their very own concrete reality, with extremely formal borders and all external inputs and outputs visible in their entirety. Similarly, the processes and rules that provide the foundation for interaction and relationships between the organisation and its external entities are frequently quantifiable and documented. This method just expresses one layer of a company's reality. This point of view is mechanical, and while it is correct, it is not the whole picture. Life appears to operate on both a mechanistic (particle) and quantum (wave energy) level, according to new findings.
