Knowledge Intermediation: The Knowledge Management Process in Venezuelan Agricultural Cooperatives


Abstract:

This article analyzes the intermediation of knowledge (a subprocess of knowledge management) in agricultural cooperatives in the Municipality La Canada de Urdaneta, State of Zulia, Venezuela. The research was exploratory-descriptive, applying descriptive statistics. Principle results reveal that in knowledge intermediation, the cooperatives have restricted access (asynchronic intermediation) knowledge storage methods, which create obstacles for socializing knowledge among the members. However, elements of synchronic intermediation are present, although in a moderate manner, associated with the exchange of tacit knowledge, as in work meetings.
