Notes

Abstract:
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the experience of sharing and creating knowledge within teams of professional dyads. The two research questions that this study addressed were: (1.) How do teams of two share knowledge? (2.) How do teams of two create knowledge? The design of phenomenology was employed so as to capture the essence of the experience through semi structured in depth interviews conducted with 4 teams that work within a dyad. There are several new findings derived from this study that assist in answering the two research questions. In this study it was found that (1) many variables, and combinations of variables can impact the sharing and creating of knowledge (2) partners benefit from familiarity with one another and (3) partners think of shared space as time, physical environment and sharing organizational goals. The findings of this study will lead to a better understanding of how professionals in teams of two or dyads, share and create knowledge.
