What Is Knowledge Transfer

Knowledge transfer involves sharing ideas and collaborating between universities, businesses, and the public sector through meetings and exchanges to create new opportunities. It aims to organize, capture, distribute, and ensure the availability of knowledge within organizations, as knowledge resides not just in communication but in people, tools, tasks and their networks, with much knowledge being tacit and difficult to articulate. Effective knowledge transfer requires more than just communicating information and occurs best when people can directly meet to discuss ideas.

In organizational theory, knowledge transfer is the practical problem of
transferring knowledge from one part of the organization to another.
Like knowledge management, knowledge transfer seeks to organize,
create, capture or distribute knowledge and ensure its availability for future
users. It is considered to be more than just a communication problem. If it
were merely that, then a memorandum, an e-mail or a meeting would
accomplish the knowledge transfer. Knowledge transfer is more complex
