Abstract
This paper discusses a knowledge sharing framework which was used to explore the impact of organizational factors on knowledge sharing in organizations. The effect of explicit (codified) and tacit knowledge sharing on product and process innovation and their impact on organizational performance is discussed. 1086 high-tech firms were invited to participate in a survey study. 223 returns (19.6% response rate) were used for the final analysis. The results suggest that information technology (IT) has the greatest impact on knowledge sharing; tacit knowledge sharing has the greatest impact on process innovation (cost-saving); and process innovation has the greatest impact on organizational performance for this study.
