Dormant knowledge is both hidden and undiscovered, sometimes subliminally used and not yet brought forward into easily understandable form. Dormant knowledge is present in concealed form, for example, a new marketing strategy not isolated or implemented so far. It is present in interpersonal relationships, manufacturing activity or financial activity. It may be influencing the present understanding directly or indirectly so much so that the manager always sidelines it from consciousness. It is a form of sleeping knowledge that is enmeshed within the intricacies of organizational processes which is not systematically retrieved so as to put into systematic and effective use. The form of knowledge that is dormant to one person may not necessarily be dormant to another which means that dormancy is always relative and is not an organization-wide phenomenon.
