We if knowledge is key for business success and competitive advantage and examine the question around problematic transfer of knowledge.

We look to synthesise from contemporary writings and research, the foremost principal of ‘knowledge’, which helps underpins congruent knowledge transfer theories, perspectives and doyennes from an occidental business perspective
