Funding informationSocial Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada; La Capitale mutuelle de l'administration publique The management and sharing of managers' knowledge constitute vital components of organizational success and performance. A range of existing studies on managerial knowledge has analyzed various aspects of knowledge sharing and management on a patchwork basis. With future research developments in mind, some stock-taking of the current body of research studies should now be undertaken for the purpose of obtaining a clearer understanding of how managerial knowledge is and could be shared and managed. Specifically, this study strives to reply to three questions: (1) What is the status of the development of literature concerning managers' knowledge?(2) What are the various conceptualizations of managers' knowledge and of its sharing and management? (3) What are the main determinants of the sharing and management of managers' knowledge that have been identified in the literature? A structured literature review method was used to code and analyze 57 studies published between 1997 and 2016. The results show that 128 authors produced an average of 3.2 publications per year, offering an abundance of conceptualizations of managers' knowledge and of its sharing and management. Several individual and organizational determinants of managerial knowledge sharing and management were identified in our review. The various findings provide a basis for orienting future research in this field.
