Resumen

La creación y transferencia de conocimiento en la empresa son funciones fundamentales de la dirección en industrias intensivas en conocimiento y alta tecnología. Para entender estas capacidades dinámicas, la dirección debe tener en cuenta las circunstancias específicas de su organización y equipos de trabajo donde se crea y transfiere el conocimiento, tanto individual como colectivamente, dentro y fuera de la empresa. Este artículo explora algunas de las contribuciones más importantes realizadas en la última década con el fin de identificar y comparar las circunstancias o el contexto organizativo, conocidos como ba, el liderazgo distribuido, ambiente de equipo, comunidad de colaboración, o el capital social, que facilitan y constituyen el �área del conocimiento� en la empresa, con el fin de exponer conclusiones que permitan avanzar hacia un nuevo enfoque configurativo para futuras investigaciones sobre la creación y transferencia de conocimiento
