  Difference Between Explicit Knowledge and   Tacit Knowledge Knowledge refers to the facts, information, awareness and understanding gained by a person through experience, education or learning. It is broadly classified into two main categories – explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge.  Explicit knowledge  is the structured set of information which can be recognized, recorded, stored and shared. We all know that every person gains something from the surroundings, circumstances, incidents, patterns, observations, etc. This is what we call personal experience, which forms the base for  Tacit Knowledge . It is an unrecorded, hidden and unstated huge depository of knowledge, which is possessed by every person. The basic difference between explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge is that explicit knowledge is already codified, whereas tacit knowledge is rooted in the mind.

  THE HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Introduction The human resource function sometimes fails to play a major role in the organization’s strategy formulation process because. of the planning inadequacies of human resource executives. However, planning difficulties are not unique to such executives. Indeed, managers from all functional areas havewith strategic planning. This section will review these general problems and will address the specihuman resource management. Planning Problems it is well known that managers are action oriented, often preferring the action of decision-making or problem-solv in In contrast, part of the planning process is done isolation. There is a lack of feedback or knowledge of results for prolonged periods of time. Further, it is difficult to justify the time needed for planning in relation to more immediate problems that press for solutions. Thus, in spite of its value, many managers do not like to plan. In addition to these general planning

 INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS 1.Global Competition Companies competing on a global basis will need to use worldclass labor to obtain the quality needed for some product markets. For example, the Dana Corporation uses it  trainingprograms to develop employees who can produce at the level of world competitive standards. One of Dana’s accomplishments has been to develop some of its U.S. workers into world-class machinists.129 One large food manufacturer has obtained specialized world-class information services by having programming done in Mexico and routing work done in England. Moving foreign nationals across international boundaries is another approach for highly skilled individuals. However, the use of U.S. expatriate workers in overseas holdings may be declining. In some U.S. companies with large overseas holdings, the number of U.S. expatriate workers is relatively small. For example, during one year, Honeywell had 27,15  employees overseas but only approximately 200 were U.S. citizen

INVESTMENTS IN TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Current Practices in Training Investments As indicated earlier, heavy investments in training will be necessary for future strategies and competitive advantage. Nonetheless, U.S. companies seem to lag behind the practices of companies in several other industrialized countries. For example, a study by the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment reported that “auto workers in Japan receive more than three times as much training each year as workers in American-owned assembly plants in the U.S.” U.S. workers not going on24 to college do not receive the training of their counterparts in other industrialized countries. In contrast, technical workers in other industrialized countries are often trained in well-developed apprenticeship programs. Approximately 59 percent of the German workforce has been trained through 25apprenticeships. In Japan, new employees often receive months of training by their employers. Japanese companies are investing i

Issues in international HRM The issues that affect the practice of international  as distinct from domestic HRM are the impact of  globalization, the influence of environmental and  cultural differences, the extent to which HRM policy  and practice should vary in different countries  (convergence or divergence), and the approaches  to employ and manage expatriates.   Globalization is  a term used to describe how trade and technology have made the world into a more connected and interdependent place . Globalization also captures in its scope the economic and social changes that have come about as a result. Globalization is the process of international economic  integration in worldwide markets. It involves the  development of single international markets for  goods or services accompanied by an accelerated  growth in world trade Any company that has economic interests or activities extending across a number of international boundaries is a global company.

Coaching Coaching is a personal (usually one-to-one) approach that enables people to develop their skills and knowledge and improve their performance. As Whitmore (2002: 8) suggested: ‘Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.’ Clutterbuck (2004: 23) noted that: ‘Coaching is primarily focused on performance within the current
