摘要：Provision of integrated consulting solutions for complex projects is increasingly prevalent, and its success hinges on effective inter-team knowledge collaboration in multi-team consulting projects. Therefore, this study aims to identify the boundaries inhibiting knowledge collaboration and corresponding cross-boundary facilitators across different phases of multi-team consulting projects. Qualitative research was conducted through 28 interviews with 46 participants and three real-life case studies. This study identifies three-fold boundaries (i.e., spatial-temporal, cognitive, and social boundaries) impeding knowledge collaboration and the corresponding cross-boundary facilitators for knowledge collaboration. It also reveals their dynamic emergence, utilization, and interactions across different project phases. This study enriches the project management literature by identifying boundaries and cross-boundary facilitators in knowledge collaboration and revealing their dynamic nature in multi-team consulting projects.
