Some of these correspond to particular circumstances of time and place (Hayek, 1945), knowledge linked to information (Arrow, 1973; Williamson, 1985), specific knowledge (Fama and Jensen, 1983a,b), tacit and explicit knowledge (Polanyi, 1962; Nonaka, 1991),
analyzable or non-analyzable knowledge (Perrow, 1967, 1970), human capital (Becker, 1993), organizational routines (Nelson and Winter, 1982), core competences (Prahalad and Hamel, 1990), and knowledge linked to the organizational context and to practice (Weick and Roberts, 1993; Tsoukas, 1996; Spender, 1996, 2007, 2008).
McGinn's list (39) of "arguably" simple or primitive concepts includes the concept "red." Now it would seem that a necessary condition of something being red is that it is closer to pink than it is to blue (to use McGinn's own example, 97), and thus by his claim that red has a non-circular and non-trivial sufficient condition, i.e., it is
analyzable, i.e., it is complex.
