dc.description.abstract [EN] Purpose – This work aims to analyse the effect of a holistic business view, competency-based management, continuous learning and information technology infrastructure on knowledge transfer and the subsequent effect on firm performance. Design/methodology/approach – Structural equation models and a survey of 222 firms from the Spanish biotechnology and telecommunications industries verify the mediator role of knowledge transfer. Findings – The implications of confirming these hypotheses for managers are that by emphasising the creation of a holistic business view, competency-based management, promoting continuous learning and improving information technology infrastructure, managers will improve knowledge transfer and positively influence the creation of superior firm performance. Originality/value – It is shown that in knowledge-intensive industries, knowledge transfer acts as a mediating variable between a holistic view of the firm, competency-based management, continuous learning and information and communication technologies infrastructure and firm performance. es_ES
