Abstract
The importance of knowledge management (KM) leads many companies to use a knowledge management system (KMS); however, users frequently do not make good use of KMS. There is a new view that knowledge market can be helpful to promote knowledge transfer by knowledge trade. Knowledge transfer could be activated through the items of knowledge organization, knowledge strategy, KMS, and knowledge reward via knowledge sharing culture and knowledge trade market. We have proposed that the framework be organically related to above factors in the prior research. This article examined various cases to analyse the effect of knowledge trade market and knowledge culture for knowledge transfer. We then considered real case researches of the Korean organizations and global firms in order to discuss each factor on how to activate knowledge transfer. This discussion suggests that organizations harmonize both knowledge culture and knowledge trade market for knowledge transfer.
