Tacit knowledge and situated practice in NPD : an in-depth case study. Proceedings of the 17th International Product Development Management Conference, Murcia, Spain, 13-15 June 2010.http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/5405This paper describes a study of knowledge and learning in NPD. For the empirical data collection, one organization took part in an in-depth case study. Multiple sources of data were used, including interviews, repertory grids, and company documentation. In addition, we participated in a post-project review. As a result of our analysis, some key themes are identified, each of which has a significant impact on knowledge flow at the task level. Our analysis of a project shows that the top lessons learnt are complex; they relate to several key themes. This detailed investigation of situated practice highlights important implications for managing tacit knowledge and improving knowledge flow in NPD.en-UKhttp://www.eiasm.orgConference paper
