Article Abstract:
An investigation of manufacturing firms in the Brescia region of Italy gives an insight into the concepts of knowledge 'tacitness' and 'codification.' It is suggested that knowledge does not flow freely within the boundaries of a manufacturing cluster, but that it circulates inside a number of smaller 'epistemic communities.'
