Socialisation characterizes the process of new employees working side-by-side with more experienced employees, observing, imitating and sharing experiences with these more experienced employees. Practical experiences are not necessarily articulated and described in this process. Coded knowledge being applied in new situations characterizes the process of externalisation, while reading and taking on information from written instructions and manuals characterizes the process of combination.
