- In this study, we link the discussion of knowledge management enablers to research on transnational projects. A transnational project is a cross-border organizational unit composed of members of different nationalities, working in dispersed business units and functions, thereby possessing knowledge for solving strategic tasks in the MNC. Understanding of knowledge creation and sharing processes is essential, hence the purpose of this article is to investigate how different enablers support these processes within transnational projects. Using case-study data to explore the theoretical arguments, interesting implications emerge. First, organizational culture is the most prominent enabler, and is encouraged by the composition of project members. Second, impact and importance of enablers vary over time. Third, the enablers are interrelated.
