Abstract

This paper examines the experience of dynamic knowledge transfer in supply chain integration during a project undertaken by the Bejing consulting arm of a multinational computer company. Various challenges during knowledge transfer in the team undertaking the project are described This paper explores those challenges, how the organisation culture influenced knowledge sharing, and the organisational learning that occurred. A Knowledge Creation Life Cycle is presented and discussed. It was found that both single and double loop learning occurred within a unique Knowledge Creation Life Cycle.
