SECI, Ba and Leadershio: a Unified Model of Dynamic Knowledge Creation
Oleh Ikujiro Nonaka, Ryoko Toyama dan Noboru Konno

The Knowledge Management that academics and business people talk about often means
just information management to solve problems and adapts with environment based on given goal.
This static and passive view of the organization fails to capture the dynamic process of knowledge
creation. The most important aspect of understanding a firms capability concerning knowledge is
the dynamic capability to continously create new knowledge out of existing firm-specific capabilities
rather than the stock of knowledge like a particular technology that a firm possesses at one point of
time.
Knowledge is dynamic and context specific, depends on a particular time and space.
Knowledge is humanistic because its related to human action. The key in leading the knowledge-
creating process is dialectical thinking. Western epistemology has traditional viewed knowledge as
explicit.
An organization creates knolwedge through the interaction between explicit and tacit
knowledge called knowledge convertion. Therere four modes of knowledge convertion:
1. Socialisation
2. Externalisation
3. Combination
4. Internalization

Ba: Shared context in motion for knowledge creation
Ba offers such a context. Ba means place, there is no creation without place. Ba is here
defined as a shared context in which knowledge is shared, created and utilised. Ba provides the
energy, quality, and place to perform the individual conversions and to move along the knowledge
spiral. Ba means a specific time and space, a concept that unifies physical space. Participants of Ba
can not be mere onlookers, they are committed to Ba through action and interaction.
Originating Ba is defined by invidual and face-to-face interactions with a place where
individuals share experiences, feelings, emotions, and mental models. Seven eleven Japan is the
example that emphasise the importance of face to face interaction.
