Abstract

Knowledge sourcing is a central activity of organizational learning and has important implications for firm innovation, competitiveness, and survival. We discuss the motivation for knowledge sourcing, the challenges associated with it, and the mechanisms that facilitate it. We suggest that knowledge sourcing is conducted at various levels of the organization and can involve multiple organizational mechanisms. Finally, we highlight its importance to research in international business.
