Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Knowledge management is the set of processes developed in an organization to create, gather, store, disseminate, and apply the firm's knowledge. A taxi company's knowledge might include explicit knowledge, such as maps and routes between destinations. Tacit knowledge would include the experience of drivers, such as the best alternate routes between destinations or passenger needs. A taxi service might benefit from a system that gave drivers guides on routes that included alternate routes drivers had found. It might benefit from a learning management system that trained drivers for locations, destinations, and alternate routes.
