Hi Jack, I found the Szulanski article better value than the book. The books says the same thing in more words.

I wish there more book's like Szulanski's out there. He provides a good reality check for those who would make you think that knowledge transfer is an easy and painless process.

What about psycho-social barriers? If, for example, the group norm is egality and equality, yet you share knowledge, then that individual would be seen as a 'tall poppy' and be cut down. Therefore, to maintain egality, no one shares knowledge for fear of being a tall poppy.

...I think KM could learn a lot from psychology :)
