Martyn,

You cannot manage knowledge because you can not get acces to knowledge. You can only acces information (call it explicit knowledge or whatever, but it is information).
This is totally regardless what the managerrole is.

Your formatting example is absurd.

I agree with many people, and even the functionalists, that knowledge is "True justified belief".
Now, anything you tell me or write to me is your socalled "explicit knowledge" but it can never be true justified belief to me before I experience it myself.
eg. explicit knowledge is information, regardless the format and wheter I understand it or not!.

Best regards
Richard
