Technical managers with little training or past experience with nontechnical skills often perform poorly in technical management positions (Kroecker, 2007).

Following the theoretical model of knowledge management, which holds that knowledge is the key to confirm learning and knowledge sharing, the research questions were used to examine how the company assessed and increased their technical knowledge and how they taught their culture in the absence of onboarding. A qualitative …
