Abstract | This study explores cultural variations in knowledge sharing strategies in virtual communities of practice at three overseas offices (located in Brazil, China, and Russia) of Caterpillar, a US-based Fortune 100 corporation. The study results show that such factors as degree of collectivism, competitiveness, the importance of saving face, cultural requirements of modesty, attention paid to power and hierarchy, and preferences for communication modes, had different levels of importance among employees in the three participating countries.
