Abstract

Many researchers have explored the knowledge management theory. However, to the author's knowledge few were interested in the tacit knowledge construct, whether it is gained inside or outside the organization. This chapter has a challenge to analyze in-depth the embedded knowledge gained from the customer, especially as it sheds light on the role of customer experiential knowledge by defining the customer experiential knowledge. It follows an emphasis on the customer experience and its close relationships with innovation management. Hence, a thorough theoretical background is presented progressively in order to define a new organizational competence labeled CEKMC. The first part presents an overview of the knowledge status, fundamental knowledge views, the evolutionary theory to the tacit knowledge construct. The second part stresses the definition of customer tacit knowledge related to customer experience. Finally, the conclusion defines a new organizational competence relative to this knowledge while discussing its contribution, especially to the experiential innovation type.
