Porque precisamos do conhecimento codificado...

Para quem acredita que as estratégias são eternas e, para quem acha bem que o estado português financie experiências de multinacionais, convém ler este trecho:

"Strategies, and especially business concepts, tend to follow a common life cycle. They start as new and unproven, and it takes some time before the development gains speed. Then there is a period of steady growth. At the top of the cycle it is time for harvest; the prospects for high earnings have never been better, and will not improve in the future as the concept stagnates, declines and finally dies. It is wise to check the present place on this cycle of your strategies and business concepts. This is particularly interesting if you combine it with an assessment of whether you or your competitors have (or can have) the prerequisites to improve or even achieve a unique position.
…
It shows (a figura) that the company had a huge problem, as the strategy that had made the company a success is in the extreme top-right position. There were some other strategy suggestions that offered great opportunities for the company; they were more likely to succeed than those of the competitors, and they were also at the stage where the development was gaining speed and could be accelerated. The competitors had certain advantages when it came to other strategies at the same stage of the development cycle; these strategies could be adopted by the company, but there would be a great deal of work to be done to catch up with the competition.
Then there were some high-risk strategies that might offer advantages in due course, but they were new and as yet unproven.
This analysis of course needs to be deepened, but it provides a good foundation for further discussions."

Algo na mesma linha do que escreveu Suzanne Berger e Eric Beinhocker, deste último recordo esta poesia retirado do fabuloso livro "The Origin of Wealth":

.

"Soon, something else began to happen in the pulsing soup of strategies— innovations began to appear. Mutations that added genes caused agent memory sizes to grow, thus enabling the agents to look further back in history and devise strategies that were more complex. Many of the mutants were nonsensical strategies that died off quickly. But, in general, more memory is a big advantage, and new strategies that were successful began to emerge and reproduce.
…
So who was the winner? What was the best strategy in the end? What Lindgren found was that this is a nonsensical question. In an evolutionary system such as Lindgren's model, there is no single winner, no optimal, no best strategy. Rather, anyone who is alive at a particular point in time, is in effect a winner, because everyone else is dead. To be alive at all, an agent must have a strategy with something going for it, some way of making a living, defending against competitors, and dealing with the vagaries of its environment.
…
Likewise, we cannot say any single strategy in the Prisoner's Dilemma ecology was a winner. Lindgren's model showed that once in a while, a particular strategy would rise up, dominate the game for a while, have its day in the sun, and then inevitably be brought down by some innovative competitor. Sometimes, several strategies shared the limelight, battling for "market share" control of the game board, and then an outsider would come in and bring them all down. During other periods, two strategies working as a symbiotic pair would rise up together—but then if one got into trouble, both collapsed.”

Porque as estratégias não são eternas, porque a realidade é como uma corrente em permanente movimento, não basta o conhecimento tácito. Há que dominar o conhecimento codificado.
