Abstract

Knowledge transfer occurs when individuals in the organization share knowledge, skills, recommendations, and ideas pertinent to the organization. Individuals, members of one group, or members of different groups communicate. Direct commitment between the broadcaster and receiver is necessary to ensure that knowledge sharing is successful. Knowledge transfer considers sharing information throughout the organization's divisions and employees. There has been tremendous growth in the amount of study done on knowledge generation and transfer. The latter is caused by knowledge development and transfer, both of which increase an organization's competitiveness. Since the beginning of knowledge management research in the middle of the 1990s, the theoretical development of knowledge transfer has continued to grow. The researcher conducted a critical review of the literature to evaluate the various research approaches utilized by past studies. The paper tries to review and summarize the different approaches which will guide future research studies in knowledge transfer.
