Abstract

Many firms are devoting eonsiderable effort to identifying, sharing, and using the knowl-edge and practices within their own organizations. However, the process of identifying and transferring practices is trickier and more time-consuming than most people imagine. This chapter examines why organizations are interested in transferring best practices, obstacles to doing so, and approaches to doing so. It discusses the creation of a climate supportive of transfer and offers seven lessons for firms about to embark on best practice transfer.
