Tacit knowledge sharing: the determination of a methodological approach to explore the intangible (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buunk, I., Hall, H., & Smith (F), C. (2016, September). Tacit knowledge sharing: the determination of a methodological approach to explore the intangible. Presented at ISIC: the information behaviour conference, Zadar, Croatia

Introduction. Research design should take into account both (a) the specific nature of the object under scrutiny, and (b) approaches to its study in the past. This is to ensure that informed decisions are made regarding research design in future empi...
