Abstract

Knowledge has been recognized as an important asset for sustaining competitive advantage. Recently, organizations, such as those in academics and business are turning to the use of the intangible intellectual source of economy, which is knowledge, in order to be competitive over the world. Therefore, to be competing needs to acquire, utilize and share knowledge. Sharing knowledge is the main backbone of knowledge management, because having knowledge is meaningless unless it is shared and allowed it to be used by others. The book investigated the knowledge sharing culture among employees of Mesfin Industrial Engineering (MIE). In addition, the book identified and determined seven factors that affect knowledge sharing and mechanisms of knowledge sharing in the organization. Finally, it came up with the possible models of knowledge sharing which could enhance the performance of the organization.
