The structure has 3 levels: first order codes and representative quotes, second order themes, and overarching dimensions. Each second order theme groups 2 first order codes. Enhancing skills groups translating algorithmic thinking into multiple programming languages and correcting and optimising code using A I assistance for debugging. Formalising ideas groups creating tables and bibliographies to organise and share ideas and formalising abstract thoughts into structured content. Sharing knowledge groups clarifying project specification and reducing the time needed to summarise and distribute key information. These 3 themes connect to the impact of Gen A I on the traditional knowledge conversion phases, externalisation. Creating explicit knowledge artefacts groups faster document creation and process visualisation. Decision support groups generating code prototypes for rapid proof-of-concept development and alternative scenario simulation. Synthesising knowledge groups an R and D statement about effective collection and systematisation of information and finding specific information for research. These 3 themes connect to the impact of Gen A I on the traditional knowledge conversion phases, combination. Applying knowledge in practice groups validating personal intuition and accelerating research processes. Informal learning groups helping in self-education by filling the gap between heterogeneous teams and an informal education process among employees without validation. These 2 themes connect to the impact of Gen A I on the traditional knowledge conversion phases, internalisation. Building trust and relationship groups learning through A I systems and enhancing knowledge sharing within organisations. Collaborative knowledge sharing groups e-learning platforms and chatbot and improving communication between team members with standardised documentation. Learning through A I systems groups decrease in critical thinking and producing examples based on real situations. These 3 themes connect to the impact of Gen A I on the traditional knowledge conversion phases, socialisation.First part of the inductive coding tree developed, regarding the impact of GenAI on SECI phases
