To navigate these complexities organizations must leverage both their knowledge assets and performance capabilities effectively. Knowledge transfer—the process by which knowledge is shared and disseminated across the organization—is a driver of innovation and adaptability (Argote & Ingram, 2000).

This the fourth article in the series on collective performance we will be looking at knowledge transfer as a process within organizations, enabling the dissemination of information, skills and expertise from one entity to another. It facilitates innovation, enhances performance and sustains competitive advantage (Davenport & Prusak, 1998). To effectively manage and leverage knowledge transfer, it is essential to understand its various types, mechanisms and influencing factors. Developing a taxonomy of knowledge transfer provides a structured framework for organizations to analyse and improve their knowledge management practices. This article presents a detailed taxonomy of knowledge transfer, categorising its types, levels, mechanisms, processes, barriers and enablers. By comprehensively understanding these elements organizations can implement strategies to facilitate efficient knowledge transfer and optimise organizational performance.

Knowledge transfer not only facilitates innovation and adaptability but also enhances collective performance by leveraging the expertise within an organization. This article explores the concept of knowledge transfer, its mechanisms and its role in enhancing collective performance. By understanding how knowledge transfer impacts organizational effectiveness, leaders and managers can implement strategies to foster a culture of knowledge sharing, thereby driving performance at all levels.
