• Researchers and practitioners in economics, business, and other fields address issues that arise with the recognition that knowledge management is a culturally contingent activity, and that organizations in various parts of the world adopt knowledge management mechanisms that prevail in other institutions in their culture. Case studies come from post-socialist countries, Asia, and South America.
