Abstract: In many contexts, organizational knowledge creation emerges as a major strategic lever for sustaining firms' competitive advantage. However, its effectiveness remains strongly conditioned by the organizational context, and more specifically by communities of practice, which influence the processes of knowledge creation, sharing, and integration. This research adopts a qualitative methodology conducted across three companies in the automotive sector, based on 42 interviews, in order to highlight the key role of communities of practice in the creation of new knowledge. The findings show that community dynamics grounded in the mobilization of "soft" factors foster the emergence of new knowledge, whereas those primarily based on technical factors tend to focus on compliance with existing standards, thereby limiting knowledge creation processes.
