在线社区经常为社区参与者和其他人创造重要的经济和关系价值。人们普遍认为，这种价值的根本来源是社区参与者之间的集体知识流动。我们区分了网络社区中隐性知识和显性知识共享的条件，并提出了一个非传统的理论猜想：网络社区引起了参与者之间的隐性知识共享。这些新技术的关键条件并不是文学作品中经常描绘的新颖的数字技术的出现，而是技术被人类及其提供的社会性所驯化。这一猜想对管理和组织研究的理论和研究以及它们与信息技术的关系具有深远的影响
O nline communities frequently create significant economic and relational value for community participants and beyond. It is widely accepted that the underlying source of such value is the collective flow of knowledge among community participants. We distinguish the conditions for flows of tacit and explicit knowledge in online communities and advance an unconventional theoretical conjecture: Online communities give rise to tacit knowledge flows between participants. The crucial condition for these flows is not the advent of novel, digital technology as often portrayed in the literature, but instead the technology’s domestication by humanity and the sociality it affords. This conjecture holds profound implications for theory and research in the study of management and organization, as well as their relation to information technology
