Meaning and definition of externalization :

 

Externalization: A term coined by Takeuchi and Nonaka, as part of their SECI (Socialization, Externalization, combination, Internalization) model of knowledge creation. This is the process of converting tacit knowledge into explicit concepts through metaphors, analogies, hypothesis or models. Metaphor can be viewed as a way of intuitively understanding one thing by imaging another thing symbolically. Metaphors help us to see one thing in terms of something else. Metaphors help in relating concepts that are far apart in our mind or even relate abstract concepts to concrete ones. As Takeuchi and Nonaka put it, “This creative, cognitive process continues as we think of the similarities among concepts and feel an imbalance, inconsistency or contradiction in their associations, thus often leading to the discovery of new meaning or even to the formation of a new paradigm.” Contradictions inherent in a metaphor can be harmonized by analogy. Association through metaphor is driven mostly by intuition and imagery and does not aim to find the differences between them. On the other hand, analogy works by rational thinking and focuses on structural/functional similarities between two things, along with their differences. (See SECI Model)
