N2 - Organizations struggle to capture, retain, and disseminate knowledge for both creation and reuse. With knowledge creation, organizations develop new knowledge for creating new products or stimulating creativity to leapfrog the competition. Through knowledge reuse, organizations repeat past successes and learn from past mistakes. We have multiple frameworks for knowledge creation and reuse within information systems, management science, and other literature. However, we do not have a comprehensive understanding of how individuals reuse knowledge and the problems that can impede knowledge reuse. This research synthesizes the literature on knowledge reuse to develop a generic process to explain how individuals reuse knowledge. We examine each step of the generic process and identify problems that may occur as well as search the literature for potential solutions. We conclude by offering suggestions for future research.
