The purpose of this paper is to develop a systematic understanding of how organizational knowledge is brokered and becomes embedded in the social network structures of boundary-spanning change projects. Drawing on a two-year study of major IS change projects in a global consultancy organization, I explore the various mechanisms by which different forms of knowledge are defined, legitimized, and communicated across virtual networks of practice, how boundary-spanners are selected, and how they mediate various forms of knowledge-domain boundary.
