An integrative approach to knowledge transfer and integration: Spanning boundaries through objects, people and processes
conference paper
Knowledge transfer and integration is the main challenge in many knowledge management projects. This challenge follows from the observation that it is difficult to determine how and what knowledge may transfer from one person to another, from one team to another and from one network or organization to the next. A management attempt to deliberately organize specific knowledge transfer and integration between these entities is even a bigger challenge when considering the construction of knowledge as an outcome of social relations which is manifest in people doing things together through, “language, action and interaction” (Weick, 2001). Nevertheless the challenge of boundary spanning to facilitate knowledge transfer and integration between separate entities is widely discussed in literature and probed in many knowledge management projects (Brown & Duguid, 2000; Snyder et al., 2002
