Abstract

This study is an integrative literature review about the distinctive characteristics of multi-generations, their cognitive differences within online learning environments, modern knowledge management theories and frameworks, and the differences of knowledge management practices among multi-generations. Particular attention has been paid to examine distinctive characteristics in the cognitive learning style and knowledge management practices between different cultural settings. Based on the review, the authors propose an integrated approach to comparing the divergent and convergent characteristics of multi-generations and cross-cultural variables in order to design and deliver effective learning solutions and knowledge management systems that will address various organizational and cross-cultural learning and performance issues.
