The theory of organizational knowledge creation developed by Nonaka and his colleagues (Nonaka 1994; Nonaka ''et al.'' 1994; Nonaka & Takeuchi 1995; Nonaka ''et al.'' 2000; 2001a;

1989; Nonaka & Kenney 1991) and appears to have undergone two phases of development.

Initially a two dimensional theory of knowledge creation was proposed (Nonaka 1994: 16-17; Nonaka & Takeuchi 1995: 57-60). The first, or “epistemological”, dimension is the site of“socialof“[[social interaction”interaction]]” between [[Tacit knowledge|tacit]] and [[explicit knowledge]] whereby knowledge is converted from one type to another, and new knowledge created (Nonaka ''et al.'' 1994: 338; Nonaka 1994: 15).

Four modes of knowledge conversion were identified (Figure 1):

# tacit to tacit(Socialization);

Line 13 ⟶ 11:

# explicit to tacit (Internalization).

After [[Internalization]] the process continues at a new ‘level’,hence the metaphor of a “spiral” of knowledge creation (Nonaka & Takeuchi 1995: 71-2, 89) often referred to as the SECI model.
