Once knowledge is transferred to, or shared with, others, it may be utilized through elaboration
(the development of different interpretations), infusion (the identification of underlying
issues), and thoroughness (the development of multiple understandings by different individuals
or groups) (King and Ko, 2001) in order to be helpful in facilitating innovation, collective learning,
individual learning, and/or collaborative problem solving (King, 2005) . It may also be
embedded in the practices, systems, products and relationships of the organization through the
creation of knowledge-intensive organizational capabilities (Levitt and March, 1988)
