Knowledge acceptance feature and rating	Knowledge acceptance and whether the uniqueness of the knowledge, its usefulness, comprehensiveness, usability, speed of transfer, and economics of transfer were perceived as high or low
Knowledge mechanism identified	Codes related to the knowledge transfer mechanisms that were identified and used as part of the knowledge-sharing events
Knowledge mechanism uses	How the knowledge transfer mechanisms were used, e.g. in combination with each other, properly structured, lacking details, or applied at a high level, etc.
Mechanism effectiveness	Effectiveness of the knowledge transfer mechanism and whether the mechanism had an increase or decrease in the knowledge distance between actors, the amount and quantity of the knowledge shared, the creation of a common value between actors, the amount of knowledge overlap, participation and collaboration, and speed
Additional factors	Factors having effects on the knowledge transfer process, e.g. the attitude and willingness to learn, commitment, accessibility, conflict, trust, etc.
