Semi-structured interviews and case analysis were adopted to collect and analyse the qualitative data. The findings reflect that, (1) knowledge walks out the door when employees leave; (2) career as the repository of knowledge; (3) career move results knowledge update or vice versa. The results contribute to the existing literature by laying a theoretical foundation for the further study on the link between knowledge management.
