Chowdhury, Imran. "Scaling in social entrepreneurship : partnerships, knowledge transfer, and business models." Thesis, Cergy-Pontoise, Ecole supérieure des sciences économiques et commerciales, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012ESEC0002/document.
Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this dissertation is to deepen the study of social entrepreneurship by examining how social entrepreneurs use partnerships and organize themselves to transfer knowledge. My research takes a first step towards building a theory of innovation transfer and scaling for social entrepreneurship. This study builds on three primary foundations. One is the literature on innovation transfer strategy, which seeks to develop a broad view of the various strategies used by firms to transfer innovations effectively. The second is the literature on social entrepreneurship, which highlights the value-creation focus of certain firms that emerge and operate where situations of simultaneous market and government failure exist. Third, I use the literature on institutions, in particular institutional logics, to explain how organizational processes impacted by multiple logics unfold. Using an inductive, multiple-case methodology, I illuminate the innovation transfer process as it relates to social entrepreneurs. My objective is threefold. First, I aim to understand how social entrepreneurs manage the innovation transfer process. Second, I wan to identify the crucial factors influencing innovation transfer between social entrepreneurs, distinguish these factors from those observed in more traditional settings, and examine their impact on the direction of the innovation transfer process. Third, and finally, I hope to offer possible alternative views to the discussion on “scaling” in the social sector, a debate which has, to date, focused on “scaling organizations” as the primary means to expand the scope and reach of innovations developed by social entrepreneurs

Повний текст джерелаThe practice of knowledge management in organizations is an issue that has recieved increasing attention during the last 20 years. This focus on knowledge management has also reached the public sector in Norway. Since 2001 the Directorate of Taxes has shown an interest in adopting methods and technologies to improve management of knowledge especially through the use of technology. This thesis aims to evaluate the current transfer of knowledge between projects in the Directorate of Taxes IT and service partner. The thesis also suggests and evaluates an approach for knowledge transfer based on two tools, the post mortem analysis and the wiki. I wish to show how this approach, based on one technical tool and one non-technical, covers all stages of the knowledge transfer process and helps the organization create and retain their knowledge. To examine the current situation of knowledge transfer in the Directorate of Taxes and to evaluate the suggested approach for knowledge transfer data was collected in six different stages. In spring 2007 I observed a meeting of project managers which provided me with information on how knowledge transfer is done on the managerial level. Documents that are used in project work were studied throughout the fall of 2007 to learn more about what project work consists of and what routines they have around the work. In late fall 2007 I conducted 8 interviews with employees at the Directorate of Taxes. I enquired about the use of the documents and meetings, and about other routines and practices concerning knowledge transfer. I also asked the employees about what they expected and desired from a potential new approach of knowledge transfer and what they thought of using the two tools that constitute my approach. In spring 2008 I observed the execution of a post mortem analysis and interviewed the participants afterwards. This gave me new insight as to how the tool works and how the employees of the organization respond to it. I studied documents containing previous research done on organizational learning at the Directorate of Taxes, and gained insight on the organization from the perspective of others. I also used the findings from this research to evaluate the suitability of the two tools. I learnt that the project members at the Directorate of Taxes chiefly transfer knowledge directly through people by a so called open-door-policy, where people are encouraged to seek and give help when they need it, face-to-face. There are some problems with this method including that it can be hard to find the right people and it is open for constant interruptions. At the managerial level sporadic meetings are conducted where knowledge is transferred, but problems with this method include that they are low in attendance and that the knowledge shared is not optimal. The third attempt of knowledge transfer reported is the use documents and templates. The Directorate of Taxes spends time and resources trying to transfer knowledge through the documents, but there are no routines around their use. The two interview sessions and the execution of the post mortem analysis show promising results for the suggested approach. The interviewees and participants of the post mortem analysis were very positive to the adoption of the method. There are however some employees who are skeptical to the suitability of the post mortem analysis and to using an electronic system for knowledge transfer. The organization has to make sure that it has its employees on board when taking these methods into use if they are to be successful.

Повний текст джерелаThere is a common agreement in literature that a company can create a sustainable competitive advantage by mastering knowledge and knowledge transfer. This requires to forward knowledge to other units at the correct time and in the right way.
The purpose of this research study is to explain in the first step general theoretical considerations related to the concept of knowledge, knowledge management as well as knowledge transfer. In a second step these concepts are illustrated with the help of four points of impact.
Some important aspects are discussed. First, the individual in the process of knowledge transfer is regarded: its behaviors, its interactions with its professional environment. Second, key tools are extended and finally the factors which influenced the process are presented.
Out of this a model is developed in an approach divided into three parts: the individual, social/collective and company perspective. This model also includes a process of knowledge transfer, the knowledge sharing achievement through a description of the main tools and actions which create a dynamic between the actors. In the last part we focus on a technical solution which can help companies to implement a knowledge transfer dynamic.

Повний текст джерелаThe contemporary information society demands efficient knowledge management and therefore, the transfer of knowledge becomes an important issue. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the understanding of how the knowledge transfer in Science Parks takes place and which knowledge transfer supporting conditions are offered within the Science Park environment.
Through the conduction of several in depth interviews with the management of Science Parks as well as the representatives of their tenant companies it can be concluded that Science Parks seem to offer favourable conditions for knowledge transfer. This is facilitated by the established structural arrangements as well as the supporting activities of the Science Parks‟ management.
An important assumption is made within the scope of this study that certain favourable conditions may as well be relevant for off Science Park firms and thus, presumably making the present study interesting and valuable for a larger audience.

Повний текст джерелаIncludes bibliographical references (leaf 74).
If we are to successfully create intelligent machines, it is essential to learn how to ground abstract notions, such as possession, in the physical world. In this work, I develop a model for the knowledge about possession transfer, which ties the abstract world to the physical world. The model grounds itself in spatial and time understanding, by making use of Borchardt's work on time space representations. The model identifies a list of 11 prominent possession transfer verbs and establishes a hierarchy to classify the other pertinent verbs. It also defines 6 dimensions for the possession space spanning physical possession, mental state, desire, IOU, money, and moving party. 19 TSR learning templates are developed as the representation for all the cases of all the prominent possession transfer verbs. The salient features of the verbs and their representations are identified. With these salient features, a decision-making tree is created. Near-miss learning is demonstrated to be a good learning technique for the system via 2 descriptive examples. I address the 10 questions and answers that the system can answer with my representation. In addition, 5 questions are addressed which cannot be answered. The correlation between the representation and visual events is discussed and explained with an example, proving how my representation can serve to aid a visual system in understanding the visual events it perceives in the environment.

Повний текст джерелаKnowledge transfer is a promising solution for the difficult problem of training deep convolutional neural nets (CNNs) using only small size training datasets with a high intra-class visual variability. In this thesis work, we explore this paradigm to extend the ability of state-of-the-art CNNs for image classification.First, we propose several effective techniques to reduce the training and test-time computational burden associated to CNNs:(i) Using a hybrid method to combine conventional, unsupervised aggregators such as Bag-of-Words (BoW) with CNNs;(ii) Introducing a novel pooling methods within a CNN framework along with non-linear part-based models. The key contribution lies in a technique able to discover useful regions per image involved in the pooling of local representations;In addition, we also propose a novel method to learn the structure of weights in deep neural networks. Experiments are run on challenging datasets with comparisons against state-of-the-art methods. The methods proposed are shown to generalize to different visual recognition tasks, such as object, scene or action classification

Recent progress on deep learning has shown remarkable action recognition performance. The remarkable performance is often achieved by transferring the knowledge learned from existing large-scale data to the small-scale data specific to applications. However, existing action recog- nition models do not always work well on new tasks and datasets because of the following two problems. i) Current action recognition datasets have a spurious correlation between action types and background scene types. The models trained on these datasets are biased towards the scene instead of focusing on the actual action. This scene bias leads to poor performance on the new datasets and tasks. ii) Directly testing the model trained on the source data on the target data leads to poor performance as the source, and target distributions are different. Fine-tuning the model on the target data can mitigate this issue. However, manual labeling small-scale target videos is labor-intensive. In this dissertation, I propose solutions to these two problems. To tackle the first problem, I propose to learn scene-invariant action representations to mitigate background scene- biased human action recognition models for the first problem. Specifically, the proposed method learns representations that cannot predict the scene types and the correct actions when there is no evidence. I validate the proposed method's effectiveness by transferring the pre-trained model to multiple action understanding tasks. The results show consistent improvement over the baselines for every task and dataset. To handle the second problem, I formulate human action recognition as an unsupervised learning problem on the target data. In this setting, we have many labeled videos as source data and unlabeled videos as target data. We can use already existing labeled video datasets as source data in this setting. The task is to align the source and target feature distributions so that the learned model can generalize well on the target data. I propose 1) aligning the more important temporal part of each video and 2) encouraging the model to focus on action, not the background scene. The proposed method is simple and intuitive while achieving state-of-the-art performance without training on a lot of labeled target videos. I relax the unsupervised target data setting to a sparsely labeled target data setting. Here, we have many labeled videos as source data and sparsely labeled videos as target data. The setting is practical as sometimes we can afford a little bit of cost for labeling target data. I propose multiple video data augmentation methods to inject color, spatial, temporal, and scene invariances to the action recognition model in this setting. The resulting method shows favorable performance on the public benchmarks.

Повний текст джерелаKnowledge transfer is considered to distribute knowledge and to ensure that it is used in future. At University level, the transfer of knowledge to students is the core function, and the effectiveness is therefore critical. To identify ways to manage and transfer knowledge is a challenge for the University and industry. The demands from industry are not necessarily communicated to the University, and therefore a gap could occur.It is difficult to determine the need for quality practices in industry and the gap could, in some instances, be blamed on improper knowledge transfer at University level. The lack of knowledge transferred between students and their employers is also possible. Students could, for various reasons, find it difficult to apply their knowledge.Knowledge transfer is diverse and the knowledge transferred between University and industry could be done through different channels. Understanding how the knowledge transfer processes impacts on the University’s ability to focus on requirements by industry is sometimes ambiguous.As knowledge expands, the application thereof could also be difficult to achieve in industry. The competencies and resources at the University should be put to optimal use in order to assist with the transition from University to industry, and to assist with the application of knowledge in industry. There must be synergy between the two entities. The gap could be narrowed when there is active involvement from industry and full cooperation from the University.

Повний текст джерелаFabriker i internationella tillverkningsnätverk tenderar att ha olika ansvarsområden och roller i nätverket. En vanlig klassificering är att dela in de i en core plant och flera andra produktionsenheter eller systerfabriker (subsidiaries) där core plant innehar en aktiv roll i skapandet och överföringen av kunskap, innovation och “know-how” när det kommer till produkter och processer. Effektiv knowledge management inom tillverkningsnätverket ses som en viktig framgångsfaktor för företag och är följaktligen en fråga med hög strategisk prioritet. I en tid då företagets konkurrensfördelar ligger i förmågan att effektivt överföra kunskap mellan produktionsenheterna i ett nätverk, blir det allt viktigare för core plant och dess systerfabriker att besitta de förmågor som krävs för att kunna hantera komplexiteten i knowledge management. Fabrikerna måste på ett framgångsrikt sätt kunna hantera, överföra, ta emot och tillämpa kunskapen. Syftet med studien är följaktligen att undersöka hur kunskap kan överföras från en core plant till dess systerfabriker samt de förmågor och förutsättningar som krävs av både core plant och systerfabrikerna för att uppnå en effektiv kunskapsöverföring. För att kunna uppnå syftet med studien har en litteraturstudie och en fallstudie, på GKN Aerospace, genomförts. Fallstudien inkluderar semi-strukturerade intervjuer, observationer och dokumentstudier. I fallstudien undersöks knowledge management och kunskapsöverföring både från ett generellt nätverksperspektiv och genom att studera tre tillämpade projekt som har genomförts på fallföretaget. De studerade projekten innefattar kunskapsöverföring och samarbete mellan fabriken i Trollhättan, som har en naturlig men informell roll i att stötta andra fabriker i nätverket, och tre olika produktionsenheter i USA; El Cajon, Newington och Cincinnati. De empiriska resultaten har kategoriserats i två huvuddelar; generella kunskapsöverföringar i nätverket samt de specifika projekten. Resultaten har sedan jämförts med studiens teoretiska referensram i en analys för att tillhandahålla en diskussion kring varje forskningsfråga. Analysen utgör grunden för studiens slutsatser, diskussion och rekommendationer. I studiens slutsatser lyfts betydelsen av att formalisera ansvar och fabrikers roller i ett nätverk. Det är också nödvändigt att tillsätta en grupp av supporterande experter med ansvaret att genomföra och förbättra kunskapsöverföringar samt dela och sprida kunskap inom organisationen. För att kunna uppnå en lyckad kunskapsöverföring mellan fabriker i nätverket är det, ytterligare, av vikt att etablera en tydligt och rättfram strategi i form av knowledge management för att underlätta kunskapsöverföring och -delning i nätverket samt för att reducera komplexiteten. Riktlinjer för att arbeta med kunskapsöverföringar, som har identifierats genom studien är användandet av en strukturerad genomförandeprocess, en gedigen planering, involverande av alla parter i kunskapsöverföringen samt att personligen träffa den mottagande arbetsgruppen på plats på den fabriken.

Повний текст джерелаKunskap har kommit att bli ansedd som en viktig strategisk tillgång för organisationer. Denna tillgång är något som företag vill ta vara på i deras arbets-och kontorsmiljöer. Med den växande integrering av IoT lösningar i kontorsmiljöer, så kallade smarta kontor har kunskapsöverföringen i dessa miljöer påverkas. Den nya tekniken kan bidra till en förbättring på tidigare medel att föra över kunskap eller komma med nya tillvägagångssätt till kunskapsöverföring. Denna studie adresserar hur organisationer med smarta kontor får tillgång till kunskap genom kunskapsöverföring. Då denna studie undersöker ett område som är ganska nytt så har målet varit att studera övergripligt hur kunskapsöverföring sker på ett utvalt koncept av smarta kontor. För att uppfylla syftet med studien har en intervjustudie genomförts på två företag som i dagsläget använder sig av konceptet. I studien har processer, modeller och faktorer för kunskapsöverföring presenterats. Utifrån de processer och modeller för kunskapsöverföring och dess påverkande faktorer har en analys och identifiering av kunskapsöverföring inom smarta kontor presenterats. Det empiriska materialet har inhämtats via intervjuer med ansvariga på de valda företagen. Resultatet från den empiriska datainsamlingen visar att de olika verktyg i den smarta kontorsmiljön som undersöktes bidrar till förbättrad kunskapsöverföring genom en ökad tillit, samarbete och spontana interaktioner mellan kollegor. I analysen så har det även framförts att den ökande integrationen av smarta kontorsverktyg kommer leda till en ökning av utvecklingen på de olika verktyg som i sin tur kan påverka kunskapsöverföring inom organisationer.

Supervisor: Sven-Olof Yrjö Collin
Course: Dissertation 15 ECTS, spring 2010
Seminar date: June 1, 2010
Key words: Knowledge transfer, network, knowledge transfer by network
Purpose: To examine the roles of network in the knowledge transfer process
Method: The aim is to examine the roles of network in the knowledge transfer process by using theories as a foundation and then relating literatures with empirical data. An abductive approach and qualitative case study approach would be conducted.
Theory: The theoretical framework of reference consists of knowledge transfer, network and knowledge transfer by network. The conceptual models which are developed by the authors will be described at the end of chapter 3.Empirical method: Secondary data such as companies‘ information from website and annual report are used for data collection. Since the comparison could be made, this study is to perform interviews with two international companies which are HMS Industrial Networks AB and Synovate Limited. The interviewees are the persons who participated in the communication with overseas people.Analysis: The analysis part consists of two sections. The first section is a within-case analysis of HMS Industrial Networks AB and Synovate Limited while the second section is a cross-case analysis of both companies.
Conclusion: The major finding after doing this thesis is that all main networks including home country network, host country network and subsidiaries network are crucial factors in knowledge transfer process. Home country network acts as an ‗Advisor‘ to get assistance and guidance for gaining knowledge. Host country network acts as a ‗Punching Tool‘ which helps company to enter into an unfamiliar and difficult foreign market due to language and culture barrier. Subsidiaries network acts as a ‗Knowledge Booster‘ which help each other about transferring knowledge between host countries to enhance the whole process. It is because business operations are conducted in subsidiaries locally but not in the headquarters.

Design is an especially effective means to transfer organizational product knowledge; yet, design outsourcing, or the contracting of a supplier to perform the design of a product or product component, has grown in acceptance and practice. Empirical evidence suggests that there are strategic risks for the contracting company, such as forward integration by the design supplier. There are also visible benefits, such as improving product innovation and overcoming resource limitations. To investigate the strategic implications of design outsourcing in conjunction with the knowledge transfer that takes place between the contractor and the supplier, six product development firms located in New England were interviewed. Their design practices and experiences in working with clients on many different design projects provided corroboration of and new insights into the risks and benefits from design outsourcing. Additional research into design practices, design technology, the unique qualities of design knowledge, and the contributors to the transfer of knowledge during design support the argument t.hat knowledge is transferred during design. The author proposes that a product is an embodiment of the tacit and explicit knowledge that is traded-off and integrated during design in a process that naturally employs collaboration. A relative qualitative measure of the amount of knowledge embodied by the product is called its knowledge intensity. Along with an alternative to the concept of a core product called the knowledge kernel, these concepts facilitate the important linking of knowledge and products during strategic outsourcing decisions. To investigate the strategic implications of design outsourcing in conjunction with the knowledge transfer that takes place between the contracting company and the supplier, a systems dynamics model was developed. The model shows that the interactions of the many different causal-loops in design outsourcing results in an eight-to-three ratio of reinforcing feedback loops to balancing feedback loops. This result suggests that design outsourcing is a self-promoting practice that is difficult to balance and can lead to significant product knowledge transferred to the supplier. Knowledge-based recommendations are offered for companies faced with design outsourcing decisions that include offensive and defensive tactics.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Knowledge based organisations must continually create, share, and capture knowledge in order to improve performance. This demand for performance improvement has now also reached the public sector. The Parliamentary Service responded to this demand by contracting consultants to design systems, policies and strategies in areas such as performance management, information technology, human resource management, financial resource management, training and development. Against this background, a case study was conducted within the Parliamentary Service to explore how organizational knowledge is created and transferred in practice. The theoretical lens for this case study is Nonaka's knowledge spiral, which puts emphasis on the creation, codification and diffusion of knowledge. The study explores processes and mechanisms of creating, transferring and capturing knowledge. This is done through the examination of strategies and systems for codifying tacit knowledge and storing that codified knowledge. Thereafter technological, cultural and organizational barriers that inhibit these efforts at sharing and storage of knowledge are identified. In the light of the above, implications for managing organizational knowledge are outlined. Lastly recommendations are made on how tacit and explicit knowledge could be efficiently managed within the sections and divisions of the Parliamentary Service. Data was gathered through interviews, observation and an analysis of organizational documents. These demonstrate that through the contracting of consultants and the involvement of internal stakeholders, parliamentary service has made remarkable progress in creating, sharing, and codifying knowledge of the performance management system at individual, group and organizational levels. This progress was made as the result of the institutionalization of a performance management forum, the use of workshops, the training of trainers and staff, the publications of newsletters, the development of manuals and the writing and submission of reports. However, it was also found that there are certain technological, cultural and organizational barriers to effective knowledge management. These include the lack of electronic databases, a culture of hoarding knowledge and the fact that knowledge management roles are not assigned. Based on the analysis of these technological, cultural and organizational barriers the -- study makes six recommendations for the management of organizational knowledge within the parliamentary service. These recommendations deal with the following issues: The codification of tacit knowledge, the creation of a knowledge repository, the promotion of a knowledge sharing culture, the institutionalization of knowledge sharing incentives, the establishment of a knowledge management unit, and the appointment of a chief knowledge officer.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kennisgebaseerde orgamsas1es moet aaneenlopend kennis skep, deel en kodifiseer om kompeterend te bly. Kennisgebaseerde prestasie-verbetering word toenemend 'n prioriteit in die openbare sektor. Die Parlementere Diensafdeling het, in 'n poging om prestasie te verbeter, konsultante gekontrakteer om sisteme, beleide en strategiee te ontwerp in areas soos prestasie-bestuur, informasie tegnologie, menslike hulpbronbestuur, finansiele bestuur, en opleiding en ontwikkeling. 'n Gevallestudie in die Parlementere Diensafdeling is teen hierdie agtergrond geloods om uit te vind hoe organisatoriese kennis in die praktyk geskep en oorgedra word. Die teoretiese lens vir hierdie gevallestudie is N onaka se kennis-spiraal, wat die skep, kodifiseer en deel van kennis benadruk. Die studie verken die prosesse en meganismes vir die skep en oordrag van kennis. Dit word gedoen deur die strategiee en sisteme vir die kodifisering van verswee kennis (tacit knowledge) en die stoor van die eksplisiete kennis (explicit knowledge) te ondersoek. Daama word die tegnologiese, kulturele en organisatoriese hindemisse wat die pogings tot die skep en deel van kennis frustreer gei"dentifiseer. In die lig van bogenoemde word implikasies vir die bestuur van kennis uitgestippel. Laastens word voorstelle gemaak vir die bestuur van kennis in spesifiek die Parlementere Diensafdeling. Data vir die studie is verkry deur onderhoude, observasie en die analise van organisatoriese dokumente. Hierdie demonstreer dat die Parlementere Diensafdeling, deur die kontraktering van konsultante en die betrek van interne belangehebbers, wel daarin geslaag het om kennis rondom die prestasiebesuurstelsel te skep, te deel en te kodifiseer op individuele, groep en organisasie vlak. Dit is hoofsaaklik toe te skryf aan die institusionalisering van 'n prestasiebestuursforum, die gebruik van werkswinkels, die opleiding van personeel, die publikasie van nuusbriewe, die ontwikkeling van handboeke en die skryf en indiening van verslae. Dit is egter ook gevind dat daar sekere tegnologiese, kulturele en organisatoriese hindemisse tot effektiewe kennisbestuur in die Parlementere Diensafdeling is. Hierdie sluit in die gebrek aan 'n elektroniese databasis, 'n kultuur van kennis-opgaarding, en die feit dat kennisbestuursrolle nie toegeken word nie. Die studie maak dan ses voorstelle vir die bestuur van organisatoriese kennis binne die Parlementere Diensafdeling gebaseer op die analise van hierdie tegnologiese, kulturele en organisatoriese faktore. Hierdie voorstelle gaan oor die volgende kwessies: Die kodifisering van verswee kennis (tacit knowledge), die skep van 'n kennis poel (knowledge repository), die bevordering van 'n kultuur van kennis deel, die institusionalisering van kennis insentiewe, die vestiging van 'n kennisbestuursafdeling, en die aanstelling van 'n Hoof Kennis Beampte (Chief Knowledge Officer).

Повний текст джерелаExpatriate knowledge transfer is often disrupted, which creates a loss of learning for the sending organization. Lack of knowledge transfer also causes a loss of competitive advantage for corporations. This study investigates barriers to knowledge transfer for expatriates in a US-based defense company. This research examines knowledge transfer through the lived experiences of expatriates, focusing on the characteristics of “ability to transfer” and “motivation to transfer” and their representation as “noise” in the communication system. This research uses qualitative methods to explore whether barriers to knowledge transfer exist within a corporation. This phenomenological case study provides a way to understand the social interaction between expatriates and their organization from the expatriates’ perspective. This research contributes to the understanding of the phenomenon around knowledge transfer. The data collected from the expatriates showed many different themes, but the most prevalent was their reliance on their social networks. The most common barrier for knowledge transfer dealt with supervisory interactions and the lack of formal knowledge documentation processes. There were also many other barriers noted by the expatriates, but these barriers were overcome through an expatriate’s focus on personal responsibility.

A reduction in the time and resources required for startup and ramp of a semiconductor fabrication facility is necessary to maintain competitiveness in manufacturing operations. This research describes and examines a method developed to augment the knowledge transfer of startup processes, as well as some of the other methodologies currently used for organizing and managing the facility startup. The research focuses on what steps can be taken to learn from past startups and integrate that knowledge into future startup processes. Questions arise for any company regarding what system to implement for knowledge transfer. The primary criteria that should be examined for any location should include a cost / benefit analysis, understanding the trade-off between flexibility and standardization, and the resources required to manage the knowledge transfer. For a factory startup, the incentives, benefits, and resource issues differ from that of an on-going factory. As the startup has limited benefits from transferring their knowledge, creating a system that is easy for them to use and/or is useful during the startup period is ideal. Also, as the startup is a period of high activity the system should be part of the regular activity for both the giving and the receiving sites. The knowledge transfer system described in this thesis is made up of a documentation process, conference, and web site. The method of implementation and the effectiveness of each method will be discussed, as well as possible future developments.

Повний текст джерелаDuring the last decade, the concept of knowledge has gained increased
attention within the research field of international business.
This has its backdrop in the knowledge-based view of the firm,
seeing knowledge as a resource and capability. Accordingly,
knowledge has been stated to be a prominent factor in regard to
firm survival and success. In this thesis, we are to identify the type
of knowledge that exists, and examine how this knowledge is transferred,
within a firm. This has been done through a single case
study, analyzing the knowledge transfer on an intra-firm basis between
the head quarter and the subsidiary units, as well as among
the subsidiary units. Data has been obtained through interviews
and secondary materials. The case study has concluded in an
analysis illustrating how knowledge can be ennobled outside the
head quarter, and lost, if not incorporated into the firm.
