This paper extends previous studies on the use of internet technologies and knowledge management by analyzing factors affecting knowledge sharing through Web 2.0 technologies within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Drawing upon the technology-organization-environment framework, a model is developed to examine how distinct contextual factors influence the use of Web 2.0 technologies for knowledge sharing. A data set of Spanish SMEs is used to test the conceptual model and hypotheses. Results show that knowledge sharing through Web 2.0 technologies emerges from internal organizational and technological resources rather than from external pressure.}, publisher = {Springer}, publisher = {Service Business, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2014, Pages 425-438}, title = {Determinants of the use of Web 2.0 technologies for knowledge sharing in SMEs}, author = {Soto Acosta, Pedro and Pérez González, Daniel and Popa, Simona}, }
