Tacit knowledge has already been gained by an individual, and hence, can only be shared in whole or part, with another individual, or groups of individuals. This is done through mentoring, training, or any other activity involving the transfer of tacit knowledge.

If you look at it this way, I believe in the case of tacit knowledge, we can only manage it's transfer to individuals capable of grasping it, while tapping into their own previously gained tacit knowledge.

So I'd have to agree with you that in the case of tacit knowledge, we would be actually managing the process of knowledge sharing.
