“…Posteriorly, authors like Davenport & Prusak (1998) and Argote & Ingram (2000) provided a consolidated vision on what today is understood as the knowledge sharing process. In this sense, knowledge sharing and transfer are mostly considered as synonyms and are considered as a process of moving both type of knowledge, tacit and explicit, from a project team (source) to another team (recipient) and its subsequent absorption and reusing in new products and technologies to improve the overall performance of NPD (Frank et al, 2013;Frank & Echeveste, 2012). This view considers that knowledge sharing in NPD is composed at least by the following elements: i) a source and a recipient of the knowledge that will be shared (Argote & Ingram, 2000); ii) a content or knowledge types to be shared ; and iii) a channel through which knowledge will be shared, which can be informal by face-to-face interactions, for example, or by formal way as for instance through information technologies (Alavi & Leidner, 2001).…”
