ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights how the knowledge generated from business events is managed and transferred across national boundaries. The challenges of sharing tacit knowledge held by individuals across formal and informal institutions are highlighted. We emphasise culture’s influence and how cultural values and dimensions can affect the knowledge transfer process and individuals’ absorptive capacity. The chapter identifies strategies that organisation can employ to facilitate the effective management of knowledge worldwide, including the development of a strong organisational culture, interaction of individuals via rotating business events’ organising committee membership and succession planning, and using inpatriation as a way of circumventing restrictions on the movement of knowledge workers.
