چکیده
Transferring individuals who possess relevant knowledge from one organizational unit to another—a form of resource redeployment—may help overcome impediments transfer. Despite the promise this mechanism, which often occurs through intrafirm geographic mobility, relatively little research has examined how and expertise interacts with resources units move. This study examines whether mobility improves performance by providing a conduit for transfer while accounting interaction between individual factors at organization-unit level analysis. We analyze effects engineers have in innovative process technologies. The results large multinational company show that technology-related an engineer moves new is positively associated unit, suggesting knowledge. also substitute organization-level when uses only technologies it already familiar, whereas complement introduce Thus, bring novel their may be important vehicles learning building competences, helping diffuse best practices.

متن کاملTransferring Knowledge by Prior Feature Sampling
The paper presents a novel method for transfer learning through prior variable sampling. A set of problems defined in the same feature space with similar dependencies of target on features is considered. We suggest a method for learning a decision tree ensemble on each of the problems by prior estimation of variable importance on other problems in the set and using it for regularizing model lea...
متن کاملBATCH TRANSFERRING IN PRODUCTIONINVENTORY SYSTEMS
In most production-inventory systems, the products are transferred from the production centre to the inventory (warehouse) in subbatchs rather than one at a time. In this paper, mathematical models of such systems for both deterministic and stochastic cases of demand are developed and analysed. Comparison of these new models with the EBQ model shows a considerable loss when applying the ru...
متن کاملTransferring behavioral technology across applications.
Application flows naturally from good science, and behavioral toxicology is no exception. Phenomena discovered and procedures developed in behavioral laboratories are being applied on a wide scale in commercial, industrial, and governmental settings. In behavioral toxicology, this transfer of technology has occurred in an ad hoc manner, albeit with a degree of sophistication. The development of...
