Contributions about knowledge management and organizational learning towards a sustainable organizational strategy have been arousing increased attention in recent years. However these mainstream studies and the knowledge-based theory of the firm do not enable a more comprehensive and integrative perspective of the problem. This academic essay summarizes the conclusions of a bibliographic research about tacit knowledge sharing techniques, the role of the communities of practice in fostering knowledge transference and about the uses of organizational storytelling as a knowledge transference vehicle, reproducing the main approach to organizational knowledge. It suggests an alternative integrative approach, founded on cognitive biology and on its communication networks and structures of meaning.
