2. INTRODUCTION
• Strategic Transfer is about transferring very complex
knowledge.
• It is also complex in nature and of extreme importance thus the
implementation of the transferred knowledge also impacts large
parts of the system.
• It impacts large parts of the organization and is applicable when
collective knowledge (tacit and explicit) is required to finish a
strategic task that occurs irregularly but is vital to the entire
organization.
• The transferred knowledge originates from different geographic
locations which has different cultures, technology and different
set of competitors.

cost of British Petroleum's Venezuela operation
from $ 70 million to $ 40 million almost by half and
he was given just seven weeks to get the job done.
