Pour Mohammad, S. (2019). A systemic study of learners' knowledge sharing and collaborative skills development : a case study in a British business school. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222378

Knowledge management, as Leistner (2010) argues, is a “misnomer”. Knowledge cannot be managed since it relates to prior experience and is present merely in the mind of individuals (p. 4). We can manage knowledge flow, but not the knowledge itself. Le...
