Knowledge acquisition is the process of acquiring, organizing, and using knowledge in order to improve decision making and problem-solving. This research area focuses on studying how individuals and organizations acquire knowledge from various sources, such as experience, observation, and communication with others. Researchers in this field investigate how knowledge is transferred, stored, and retrieved, as well as how new knowledge is created through learning and innovation. Knowledge acquisition research is interdisciplinary, drawing on insights from psychology, cognitive science, information science, and organizational behavior to explore how knowledge is acquired and applied in different contexts. The goal of knowledge acquisition research is to develop theories and methods to help individuals and organizations effectively acquire, manage, and apply knowledge to achieve their goals.
