Abstract: Abstract We have just seen how communication is a key component of overcoming subjectivity. Communicating knowledge is only possible because knowledge can readily be transferred. This characteristic of knowledge allows companies to open new business fields or find new sources for value generation by detaching knowledge from its original context and applying it to a different one. This happens every day in business: an employee finds a successful way of performing a certain task, and, if the results are positive, the employee tries to replicate the success with other pending tasks. From small tasks to huge, business-changing tasks, this is how the transferability of knowledge is primarily exploited.
