Dynamic Models of Knowledge in Virtual Organizations

摘要

The dynamics of knowledge is important for virtual organizations (VOs) knowledge management (KM) to improve the fast response capabilities and flexible problem solving capabilities of VOs in complex environments. This paper proposes a method of modeling knowledge dynamics in VOs, which is composed of three models: knowledge flow model, knowledge conversion model and knowledge sharing space model. The models depict the dynamics of knowledge and design the operation mechanisms of knowledge in VOs from the perspectives of flow attributes, evolution and innovation features, and sharing and cooperation of knowledge.
