Replying to LO6704 --

On Types of knowledge, among them ritual:

Due to heavy workload on finishing my doctoral work, I haven't been able
to participate in your debate lately. But I'm "listening".

The concept "ritual knowledge" has been a part of my concern in trying to
understand how organizations learn. I have developed a matrix of different
types of knowledge, which I want to share with you. If you find it useful,
that is fine. Haven't got the time to explain it all by now, so you will
have to put your own understanding to it. May be that is a better way of
learning ?

Here it is:


                                                DECLARATIVE
PROCEDURAL

BEHAVIORAL                      codified knowledge              routine


NORMATIVE                        moral principles                    ritual

[Host's Note: Above is the way I received it from Wiggo. Taking a guess 
at how it was mashed in transmission, here what I think it might have been:

                 DECLARATIVE       PROCEDURAL

BEHAVIORAL    codified knowledge    routine

NORMATIVE      moral principles      ritual

...end of host's addition. ...rick]

If you have comment, please let us know.

Stay learning,
