Abstract

An organization’s capacity to share knowledge among its individuals and apply that shared knowledge to enhance performance is seen as a vital source of competitive advantage. A growing body of research, under the knowledge-based view banner, has begun to examine knowledge as a key organizational resource. While this research has examined forms of knowledge sharing, it has generally done so via focussing on a single approach. In contrast the research presented in this paper, based on 42 interviews across 5 management consultancies, develops a typology of knowledge sharing and analyses the performance of each from a practice perspective. Findings indicate distinct performance profiles for each knowledge sharing approach. Performance trade-offs made by practitioners highlight the value placed on different performance characteristics as well as highlight scope for improving knowledge sharing overall.
