Knowledge sharing has been the key to being competitive, and to making the enterprises maintain the capability of continuous innovation. In this paper, an analytical framework based on competitive advantage of knowledge sharing between organizations and the compromises in order to share knowledge was proposed. Firstly, the various acts and the costs that can achieve knowledge sharing between the organizations are discussed. Secondly, the critical factors about a competitive advantage which is brought by knowledge sharing are sought. Finally, the costs of knowledge sharing are corrected. The contribution of this paper is that a method of identifying knowledge sharing opportunities is proposed accurately, which is very helpful for managers to make better judgments of potential benefits of identifying the knowledge sharing.
