Thus mechanisms and technologies can support knowledge discovery systems by facilitating combination or socialization. Mechanisms that facilitate combination include collaborative problem solving, joining decision making, and collaborative creations of documents. For example, at the senior management level, new explicit knowledge is created by sharing documents and information related to midrange concepts (e.g. products concepts) augmented with grand concepts (e.g. corporate vision) to produce new knowledge about both areas. This newly created knowledge could be, for example, a better understanding of products and a corporate vision [10]. Mechanisms that facilitate socialization include apprenticeships, employee rotation across areas, conferences, brainstorming retreats, cooperative projects across departments, and initiation process for new employees. For example, Honda “sets up braining storming camps (tama dashi kai)-informal meetings for detailed discussions to solve difficult problems in development projects” [11]
