To analyze data, this paper used the interpretive structural model on a sample of 20 managers participating in the STIM consortium, and this paper carried out an exploratory in-depth case study analysis to validate the results.FindingsThe findings shed light on the role of OI environments in defusing KS barriers in the process of inter-organizational KS.Originality/valueNotwithstanding the importance of KS practices among organizations, only a few studies have recognized and investigated the role played by OI arrangements in enhancing KS practices.
