Abstract
In modern societies knowledge is considered to be important for organizational development. Scholars suggest that ICT supports knowledge sharing and thereby enhances organizational development. However, in several empirical studies, organizations often complain that the opportunities provided by ICT for knowledge sharing are underutilized, or even ignored. Accordingly, the question arises how knowledge sharing processes take place and which role ICT has or lacks in these processes. In order to develop insights into this issue, the purpose of this study is to explore the role of ICT in knowledge sharing processes in organizational teams.
