The outputs of the model of knowledge sharing include the objective products and
the subjective interpretations. As with the inputs, the outputs divide among both
individuals and organizations, reflecting organizational attempts to move their
corporate knowledge from the individual to the wider organization (Gore & Gore,
1999). However, outputs also involve those external to the organization itself.
The products, objective observable phenomena include knowledge??”the main focus
of the entire model??”as well as solutions to perceived needs. Although knowledge
happens within individuals, it is not significant for its own sake; rather, it serves to
help solve a problem or to provide inputs to further action. For the organization,
the outputs include information that serves an organizational need, along with dissemination
of that information. In general, knowledge consists of three dominant
types, as outlined in Table 7. The actual dissemination involves the various technical
tools discussed earlier.
