Abstract

Based on a study of knowledge transfer within different types of business, between both domestic and international R&D partners, knowledge transfer success was found to be associated with several key variables: communications, information technology, behavioral and comprehensive. This article offers a process framework of knowledge transfer. The framework identifies stages of transfer and factors that are expected to correlate with difficulty at different stages of the transfer. Each stage of the transfer is discussed to explore the predictive power of different factors at different stages of the process.

This paper is one of the staged achievements of the technology plan program of “Zhejiang Study of the influence factors and countermeasures of the personal knowledge organization strategy of private enterprise of Zhejiang”(project No. 2008C25026).
