Abstract
This paper describes the similarities shared between group research and knowledge management research, and proposes a framework derived from group research which consists of five contextual variables: individual, group (team), task, environment and knowledge type. Moreover, it examines the relationships among these five variables, behavior setting (i.e. patterned relations among group, task, and knowledge types), and knowledge interaction processes (e.g. knowledge creation, transfer, application and others), then sums up several existing KM studies within this framework. Lastly, this paper shows that the existing KM frameworks could fit in with this new framework.
