I've been reviewing paper regarding tasks, teamwork and ICTs within these few weeks. Then I further develop my International Business research to associate with the concept of 'knowledge transfer' within MNCs under two dimensions, which are 'geotemporal boundaries and contextual distance 'and 'different levels of organisation network (nodal, dyadic and systemic levles)'.
Since my data resources provide an insightful understanding of individual behaviour, I could inspect the micro-foundation of knowledge sharing/learning during the process of knowledge transfer. Lately, I try to find a strategy to develop a 'codebook' to analyse my data resource from the theories. I study how Polanyi (1966) distinguished 'tacit knowledge' (or 'implicit') and 'explict knowledge', and then, adopt the concept of knowledge creation by Nonaka (1994) to review the four processes, which are: socialisation, combination, internalisation and externalisation.
In addition, Castillo's (2002) four dimensions of tacit knowledge (non-epistle, social-cultural, semantic and sagacious tacit knowledge) and Nonaka's (1994) concepts of knowledge creation help in understanding the mechanisms of knowledge transfer. The understanding of knowledge characteristics helps me analyse my data. It seems that I capture a vague idea to develop my codebook. I still need to find a way to present this work and write down sensible justification to convince the reader .
Well, it seems that I still need to do loads of thinking and work before writing a well-structured proposal. At least, Paul is happy with my progress and excited about this fashion study regarding how I could use a proper micro-foundation study to analyse the data resources. Although I wish I could develop my ideas within 3 days, I have to tell myself, 'be patient' all the time.

Though not my major, Tsai's AMJ (1999, or around) article may help you. It's the only article I've ever read about "knowledge transfer" and "netowrk," both are also keywords of yours. I have one suggestion. Can your data allow you to build a multi-level model?
thanks. Tsai's articles seem to place an emphasis on knowledge management. She also talked about knowledge creation and transfer to review HRM's performance. Interesting though not relates to mine. will read how she analyse her data. to ur question: Yes, it will be a multi-level analysis through HLM. Any suggestion about some significant paper discussing this style of analysis?
I do have some empirical papers and materials from workshop that you can take as examplars. The challeng for HLM might be the research design to collect the suitable data. I can email those directly to you. Where should I send?
many thanks. pls send to g4alien@hotmail.com
Can you transfer knowledge into my brain now? My brain cells are dead......
Sure, but i think the knowledge i can transfer to you is not related to your work at all. :D
hi, Postrel I received your emails. Thanks
