The retrieval and use of the assets can, however,be highly optional. This use is considered to be part of the innovation and creation knowledge management element. As with analytical knowledge manage ment, central technology decisions are limiting users' choices and reducing the degree of modality of usage in this element.

In organisations there will be different "knowledge provinces" due to different task areas. Even between members of a work team degrees of intersubjectivity may result from differences in personal history and organisational commitment.

Such knowledge is not always deployed through an explicit and linguistic communication process.
In communicative externalisation there is a translation of knowledge into language Organisational Ability: Constituents and Congruencies 33 and in internalisation there is a translation back from language to knowledge again. e. texts, which need to be interpreted by the receiver in order to become knowledge again.
