Abstract:
Information and knowledge sharing represents currently usually not sufficiently utilised source of the competitive advantage. If appropriately managed, this should lead to better performance, higher efficiency and improved cooperation and communication within as well as among organisations. The advantages and disadvantages of information and knowledge sharing are discussed. Based on the semi-structured interviews and subsequent statistical analysis, the researched industrial cluster reveals the real practices and enables the comparison with the theoretical prerequisites. The findings prove the ineffectiveness of the sharing processes. Therefore, particular recommendations and suggestions for the improvements are provided and emphasised.
