Abstract

Knowledge creation, sharing, and management are important, large-scale concerns in organizations in the twenty-first century. Developing processes to generate and harness knowledge, particularly tacit knowledge specific to the individual organization and its processes and culture, can be an enormous undertaking from both the conceptual standpoint and from that of an information systems application and management process. This article explores the manner in which knowledge creation, sharing, and management can become embedded in the organizational culture as a natural process, rather than one requiring design and management, through an emphasis on team-building and the subsequent transactive memory systems that emerge.
