Discussion: "Dissemination of Knowledge"

Respond to the following:

• Select either direct or indirect dissemination of information and knowledge. Using three of the six basic elements, (i.e., the source, the recipient, the relationship between them, the knowledge to be transferred, the method of transfer, and the organizational context within which transfer occurs), suggest one problem that may occur in each element. Justify your response.

• Compare and contrast the major similarities and difference between tacit and explicit knowledge. Then, determine the two most effective and the two most ineffective dissemination mechanisms in a virtual learning environment for each type of knowledge. Justify your response.
