1. Component of knowledge networks (Answer: RESOURCES)
The Framework of Knowledge Networks comprises the following components: Actors –
individuals, groups, organizations; relationships between actors, which can be categorized by
form, content and intensity; resources which may be used by actors within their relationships, and institutional properties, including structural and cultural dimensions such as control mechanisms, standard operating-procedures, norms and rules, communication patterns, etc. These components can be perceived from either a static or a dynamic point of view.
5. Spiral of knowledge (Answer: COMBINATION)
The transformation of explicit knowledge into more complex and more systematized explicit knowledge represents the stage combination (recently Nonaka renamed this stage Systematization, Nonaka 1999). It is necessary to combine different fields of explicit knowledge with each other and make new knowledge available on an organization-wide basis.

2. The exchange of tacit knowledge (Answer: SOCIALIZATION)
Socialization comprises the exchange of tacit knowledge between individuals in order to
convey personal knowledge and experience. Joint experience result in new shared
implicit knowledge, such as common values or technical skills. In practice, this could
mean, for instance, gaining intuitive and personal knowledge through physical proximity
and attaining direct communication with customers or a supplier.
3. Transformation processes (Answer: EXTERNALIZATION)
Externalization describes transformation processes. On the one hand, this means the conversion of implicit into explicit knowledge, and on the other, the exchange of knowledge between individuals and a group. Since implicit knowledge is difficult to express, the conversion process is often supported by the use of metaphors, analogies, language rich in imagery, or stories, as well as visualization aids, like models, diagrams or prototypes. In order to stage a constructive discussion and reach creative conclusions, a deductive or inductive mode of argumentation is also very important.
4. Process of knowledge network management (Answer: IDENTIFICATION)
Knowledge Network Management denotes a proactive, systematic approach to the planning
and design of intentional, formalized networks for knowledge creation and transfer, and the
establishment of conditions to cultivate emergent, informal networks. This includes the
identification of existing knowledge networks, widening their scope, guiding them towards
high performance, and transferring best practices to other application contexts.
6. Actors for knowledge networks (Answer: ORGANIZATION)
The Framework of Knowledge Networks comprises the following components: Actors –
individuals, groups, organizations; relationships between actors, which can be categorized by
form, content and intensity; resources which may be used by actors within their relationships,
and institutional properties, including structural and cultural dimensions such as control
mechanisms, standard operating-procedures, norms and rules, communication patterns, etc.
These components can be perceived from either a static or a dynamic point of view.
