“…Indeed, technical capacity is not developed automatically in situations where individual small businesses handle an extensive, multifaceted network of information (Shearmur, , quoted in Lee, ). Technical information requires interpretation and mediation if it is to be used widely (Weber and Khademian, ; Sarkis et al , ).…”

The Role of Trade Associations in Environmental Compliance Under Limited Enforcement: The case of small businesses

Although a substantial body of research has considered the role of non‐state actors in establishing regulatory policies, relatively little research has focused on the influence of such actors at the implementation phase. To fill this gap in the literature, we extend the research on compliance motivations and institutional theory by exploring the role of trade associations in facilitating environmental compliance of small businesses, an area in which the problem of limited enforcement is particularly acute. Using data from dry‐cleaning facilities, we investigate the ways in which a trade association contributes to improvements in environmental performance among its members. The results reveal that the trade association can promote compliance by helping its members to become familiar with regulatory requirements and to develop technical capacity to meet them. Based on the findings, we propose ways to increase the practical involvement of non‐state actors to compensate for enforcement shortfalls. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment

“…If those from low SES sectors use tacit knowledge more effectively, is it possible that tacit knowledge represents a type of social capital for those who lack the advantages of a high SES? Does knowledge management require "trade-offs" (Shearmur, 2000) that many women are not prepared to make?…”

“…There are many reasons why articulating tacit knowledge (making it explicit and codifying it) is crucial to the success of any organization. The same problems do not need to be solved over and over again (Shearmur, 2000). The "owner" of a particular piece of tacit knowledge does not have to be present and available in order to share this information.…”

This article describes the process of knowledge transformation (from tacit to explicit to codified knowledge) in organizations. The article proposes that much of the knowledge held by reference librarians is tacit knowledge that needs to be made explicit and formalized. The Web-based ready reference database at San Diego State University is analyzed as an example of the process of knowledge conversion in library reference services.
