“…In Industry 4.0, companies acquire a stable and lasting competitive advantage through implementation of enabling technologies because this process produces an enhancement of strategic knowledge related to intellectual capital (Trequattrini et al, 2021). In particular, efficiency and productivity rise through the use of analysis and algorithms, and at the same time, the marginal costs of production and sharing of several products and services are almost entirely eliminated (Rifkin, 2014).…”

“…Indeed, an increasing number of clubs use data science tools to make increasingly informed decisions during matches and in the transfer market. According to Trequattrini et al (2021), digital platforms can support knowledge transfer in sport in many ways; indeed, some platforms can replace DVDs and VHSs, making it possible to examine a player without needing to send a scout to follow him. Other platforms emphasize the relationship between football and Big Data.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of technologies on the knowledge transfer process. In particular, the authors aim to analyze the topic of knowledge brokers and the relationship between broker and digital tools in the knowledge transfer process in the sport context. The study developed, therefore, aims to investigate the creating of this environment for knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing between man and machine, looking to improve the planning of technical sports projects of the clubs. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents a qualitative approach aimed at analyzing how platforms and the players’ agents can be useful tools in the knowledge transfer process. The research was conducted through a survey with a structured questionnaire via e-mail to 64 managers at the head of clubs playing in the Italian Series B basketball in the 2021–2022 championship. The total number of questions administered is 21. Findings The results demonstrate how sports directors, for the construction of a technical sports project, in addition to learning off the pitch by interactions with media, fans, pressure management, leadership skills, positive attitude, tolerance, understanding of other opinions, background and cultures, see the athletes’ agents as the main stakeholder of the managers. The research resulted, by the clubs’ managers, in both formal learning and informal-type learning. Informal learning, by far the most frequently used and most important in the general learning process of executives, is identified in the use that executives make of information available on digital platforms and of the fiduciary relationships that management has with players’ agents. Originality/value The results demonstrate the valuable opportunities for executives, coaches, managers and clubs to strategically manage learning and knowledge sharing. Improving and managing knowledge-sharing strategies would help increase knowledge, not only of the sports directors but also of the entire club, thus improving the absolute quality of the game within the Italian basketball divisions. The authors have developed an innovative framework regarding the construction of a “typed sports technical project”, and the authors have identified a series of crucial phases capable of determining the creation of a new roster of athletes.
