Abstract

Augmented globalisation and the increased speed of operations in the business world have led to dramatic changes in organisational life; the traditional way of work is no longer competitive. It is assumed that an organisation that knows how to communicate and share knowledge quickly will always have an extra competitive advantage in comparison to others who do not participate in knowledge collaboration. Social Networking Sites (SNS) have created a new method of knowledge exchange and introduced new abilities for an organisation to share knowledge. This research investigates the role of SNS in organisational knowledge sharing through a review of concepts and theories from different disciplines. We explore and investigate how SNS are used to facilitate storage, access and knowledge sharing in organisational contexts. The research will conclude with the discussion on the risks, benefits and barriers to implementing SNS for knowledge sharing.
