Research on the key factors of tacit knowledge diffusion in customized titanium processing enterprises based on ISM model

In the context of knowledge-based economy, tacit knowledge is been highly valued and becomes the source of the core competitiveness of enterprises. Based on the literature reviews on tacit knowledge diffusion, ISM model is used in this paper to analyze and identify the key factors with a hierarchical structural model in customized titanium processing enterprises. It helps enterprises to improve knowledge innovation efficiency, enhance the knowledge application ability and strengthen technical capabilities and the talent storage capacity. After three steps of analysis of ISM model, the results showed that the influence factors on the tacit knowledge diffusion were prioritized. Employees and enterprises aspects had a direct impact on the tacit knowledge diffusion, whereas internal and external environment aspects were the basic influence factors that supported the other two aspects. Thus, managers may improve the tacit knowledge diffusion efficiency based on such advises.
