Knowledge exchange in a supply chain context

Abstract

The virtual alliance between supply chain actors enables to create new links to better share information and knowledge. There are already some methods and approaches specifically designed to share and exchange this knowledge in local areas of the supply chain. In this paper, we are interested in treating this issue in a global perspective and focuses also on the classification of the knowledge according to some criteria as knowledge structure, knowledge type, knowledge nature, etc. The dynamic of the knowledge is introduced within an organizational learning perspective between the supply chain actors. © 2004 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.
