In an organisational perspective it forms part of Knowledge Management initiative. Any success or failure of an organisation will largely depend upon the culture, values, attributes, and habits of its team members. In today's competitve world, every business unit will have to use everykind of innovative techniques/methods in bringing out the very best from it's team members. In this process "knowledge sharing" is a widely regarded effective tool. It's very important for the organisation to have a open minded culture where people shouldnt refrain themselves to share their knowledge to others. In other words,process of knowledge sharing starts at the individual wheter he is a top exectuve, middile leve manager, technician, receptionist and so on. Every one has to play their role in reaching overal objectives of the organisation. Hence every one has certain level of influence in the process. At their level, they shouldnt have an objection to share their views, thoughts, opinions, suggestions, on certain business parameters within their own sphere. Why knowledge share?
