Abstract

Experience sharing implies a diversity of issues related to processes, behaviours, people, technologies and culture. It is important to stress that those issues are not only framed by the organization, but also by the individuals’ different backgrounds and positions. Having insights into the organizational as well as three national cultures at the case company, the paper shed light on knowledge conversations in global teams. This is done by using three perspectives, i.e. internal structure, external structure and individual competence.

Keywords: project work, sharing experiences, culture, global teams, teamwork, knowledge transfer, knowledge sharing, knowledge management, expertise sharing, product development
