Abstract

The report overviews and synthesizes literature on various perspectives on knowledge in organizations.  Knowledge-based view of the firm is compared to the transaction economics view of the firm.  Then various theories on organizational knowledge creation are reviewed.  A significant body of literature on knowledge sharing and creation in the inter-organizational context of joint ventures and supply-chain relationships is summarized.  This is followed by an overview of intra-organizational knowledge sharing research. Finally, the role of technology and human resource management in creating and sharing knowledge in organizations is reviewed.
