Learning how and learning what: effects of tacit and codified knowledge on performance improvement following technology adoption

Article Abstract:

The improvement rate heterogeneity across organizations is determined by drawing from knowledge management and learning curve research. It is hypothesized that improvement rates across organizations will be more heterogeneous for dimensions of performance that rely on tacit knowledge than for those rely on codified knowledge (H1), and that group membership stability predicts improvement rates for dimensions relying on tact knowledge (H2).

A fast rate of quality-improvement processes leads to decreases in the rate of improvement in quality-related costs in share and sales, while a slower pace is more related to decrease in quality-related costs. Quality improvement in a learning environment can be best achieved at a slower and continuous pace.
