Abstract
Tacit knowledge management provides potential impetus for the sustainable development of knowledge-based economy. Despite the fact that many Chinese enterprises have realized the strategic value of tacit knowledge, relevant studies on tacit knowledge management are still in their infancy. The author of the paper reviewed the present researches both at home and abroad on the measurement and acquisition of tacit knowledge as well as its transfer model and the obstructive factors of the transfer process. The author also made analysis of the deficiencies of the current study and presented his own view on the future development in this field.
