Meaning and definition of physical environment :
Physical Environment: The way the office spaces are designed can influence the effectiveness of knowledge sharing. Many employees gain work related knowledge, not from manuals/formal training but from informal conversations on the corridor, near the water cooler, at the coffee vending machine and in the cafeteria. Indeed, realizing the importance of physical communication, some companies are creating physical spaces to promote this. If network connections are provided in these spaces, knowledge sharing can be further enhanced. The famous journalist, Tom Stewart once mentioned that the best hardware device for transferring knowledge is a coffeepot. But he added that coffee pots do not scale. By this he meant that while face-to-face informal conversation is the best way to share knowledge, leverage comes only with technology. Only if a large number of people have access to knowledge, will it make a good impact. And that kind of sharing on a large scale is possible only with technology. So workplaces should be designed both to increase human interaction and leverage technology. (See Spatial School under Schools of Knowledge Management and Work Ambience)
