sharing is through the organizational reward and incentive mechanisms. Both
McKinsey & Company and Price Waterhouse Coopers (a management
consulting and a professional services firm, respectively) use this mechanism to
promote knowledge sharing among their consulting and professional staff. At
McKinsey, for example, number and frequency of use of a consultant’s
publications (a measure of knowledge sharing) is an important input to the
consultants promotion decisions. Similarly, Price Waterhouse Coopers enhanced
the appeal of knowledge sharing by revising the professionals performance
reviews to reward them for knowledge sharing activities (Hildebrand, 1994)
