Tacit knowledge sharing is still at infancy especially in SME. Tacit knowledge exists in every corner of SME, in its structure and relationship especially in its people.Even though knowledge management will benefit SME as they are rich of tacit knowledge but lacking in expertise, financial capital and infrastructure, KM is almost impossible for SME currently. Since SME have efficient and informal communication network, knowledge sharing is essential especially in an organization with scarce resources.Therefore, in the wake of knowledge-based economy, tacit knowledge sharing is the best tool for SME in enhancing competence and organizational performance which suit its needs and background.
