A Study of Tacit Knowledge Transfer Based on Complex Networks Technology in Hierarchical Organizations

  • Conference paper
Complex Sciences (Complex 2009)

Abstract

In reality, most economic entities are hierarchical organizations. But in the hierarchical organizations tacit knowledge can be transferred across different hierarchies even across different departments. By use of complex networks technology, a hierarchical organization’s framework is modeled in this paper. Through quantifying a number of technical datas we analyze and have a research on the transfer distance and the optimum tacit knowledge transfer path in hierarchy networks.
