This paper explores the role played by Digital Information Systems (DIS) for knowledge diffusion within cross-border networks and demonstrates how the use of DIS as a management tool can enhance the scope for knowledge-sharing among multiple network participation at distant locations. It deals with a question: How mobile is knowledge in the emerging Global Network Economy? It then highlights opportunities, pressures and incentives that may result form network participation, and explores how they affect the absorptive capacity of local network suppliers.
