knowledge within an organization, ensuring it is easily accessible to those who need it, and

tacit knowledge, which is personal and difficult to formalize. Additionally, knowledge can
be classified as individual knowledge, residing within employees, minds, or organizational
knowledge, which is embedded in processes, systems, and culture. Understanding these
distinctions is crucial for effective knowledge management strategies.
