Human-Algorithm Interaction in Tacit Knowledge Conversion: Insights from Chinese Patent Medicine Manufacturing

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This paper presents research on how human-algorithm interactions facilitate tacit knowledge conversion in knowledge-intensive industries. The study is based on a multi-case analysis of three Chinese patent medicine (CPM) manufacturing firms, the research investigates how algorithms, interacted with human expertise, contribute to the conversion of tacit knowledge in the CPM sector-encompassing sensory skills, diagnostic intuition, and learned heuristics-into structured, usable knowledge for algorithmic systems. Our findings highlight the iterative and co-constitutive nature of human-algorithm interaction in tacit knowledge conversion, in which both human expertise and algorithmic capabilities dynamically inform each other.
