Leadership – Knowledge building and sharing

Lecture Notes:

To create knowledge, it may take an international assignment (expatriates) and the sharing of personal experiences. The assignment can be assigned from the organization to allow the right person to be stationed overseas for a certain amount of time. The sharing of the knowledge also known as the transfer knowledge, obliges the firm to create opportunities for the person to share personal experiences through a formal sharing tool. The organization must provide this individual to use what they have learned from this experience.

Combination- Creating or using existing concepts/ideas
Internationalization- learning by doing
