Abstract: This article conceptualizes some well-known difficulties on knowledge sharing in the example of Russia companies with Western participation. Given the highly complex nature of the phenomenon under investigation, this study is limited to exploring insights on sharing, in particular, managerial knowledge in an early stage of a foreign investment. On the basis of case study data, the article argues that some specific features of the Russian national and organizational culture reinforce many of the general problems of knowledge sharing. More specifically, the article focuses on a lack of incentives for knowledge sharing, department thinking and acting, and fear of admitting mistakes as distinctions of Russian knowledge transmitters.
