  2. What is Meant by Knowledge Transfer Transferring knowledge from one individual to another or one group to another. Seeking to organize, create, capture or distribute knowledge and ensure its availability for other users. More than just communicating information. (Nonaka, 1994; Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995)

  3. Types of Knowledge Knowledge dependent on conceptual skills and cognitive abilities (Embrained). acquired through human interaction with and interpretation of the individual’s environment (Embodied). gained through socialization and acculturation (Encultured). related to formal procedures, roles, routines (Embedded). relayed via signs and symbols, dealing more with storage and transmission of knowledge (Encoded). (Collins 1993; Blacker 1995)

Challenges Difficulty in recognizing & communicating "compiled" or highly intuitive competencies Geography Lack of shared identity Language Areas of expertise Internal conflict (parent child, teacher student, sibling) Generational differences Impetus Cultural norms Lack of experience False impressions Not having a clear vision of the total issue Culture not supportive of knowledge sharing Distrust (Galbraith 1990; Kane, Argote, & Levine 2005)
