Abstract

Knowledge transfer is a phenomenon faced by many organizations especially when dealing with the challenges of globalization. Organizations develop valuable knowledge from time to time and this knowledge has to be shared among the organizational members so that the organizations can leverage it to achieve the competitive edge. This paper is meant to discuss the factors that contribute to the phenomenon of interest including communication, management, transfer process, and also the working process in a virtual organization as a study setting. This issue is chosen because of the difficulties in dealing with knowledge transfer within the virtual organization and to identify the right factors involved in the knowledge transfer process. Perhaps from this study, the best approach of knowledge transfer process could be recognized and adapted by the virtual organization to strive in a business competitive world. Organizations that failed to adapt to the changing business environment especially with regard to the knowledge transfer process will be phased out from the business competition. The implications of the study will also be discussed in the paper.
