An Investigation into the Tools and Techniques within the Pmbok (4th Edition) That Support Transactive Memory Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Transactive memory is the process of using other people as external memory aids. Research indicates that transactive memory enhances several functions that improve project performance, such as knowledge transfer, knowledge integration, and knowledge coordination. The PMBOK is a leading text used to train and inform project managers. Surprisingly, a content analysis found that only 2 of 179 tools and techniques listed in the PMBOK (4th ed.) support the development and utilization of transactive memory systems. Based on an analysis of similar studies, it is argued that the practitioner literature for project managers should provide greater support for transactive memory systems. Accordingly, a process is proposed to develop personalized and codified transactive memory systems within project teams.

An experimental investigation on the energy storage in a shape-memory-polymer system
In this paper, the effect of thermomechanical loading on the behavior of deflection-based harvested energies from a shape memory polymer system is experimentally investigated. Samples are created with honeycomb cells from poly-lactic acid using additive manufacturing techniques. The shape memory effect in shape recovery and force recovery paths are studied under thermomechanical tests in bendin...
متن کاملOrganizational memory information systems: a transactive memory approach
Effective management of organizational memory (OM) is critical to collaboration and knowledge sharing in organizations. We present a framework for managing organizational memory based on transactive memory, a mechanism of collective memory in small groups. While being effective in small groups, there are difficulties hindering the extension of transactive memory to larger groups. We claim that ...

متن کاملDeveloping Individuals' Transactive Memories of Their Ego-Centric Networks to Mitigate Risks of Knowledge Sharing: The Case of Professionals Protecting CyberSecurity
A memory of who knows what, so called transactive memory, can be an important cognitive structure in facilitating knowledge sharing in situations where successful collaboration depends on simultaneously maximizing sharing while mitigating its risks. We examine the development of transactive memory in crossorganizational networks—or ego-centric networks—that individuals build and maintain in the...
متن کاملTransactive Autobiographical Memory and Organizational Routines
I develop a conceptual model of the micro-foundations of routines that incorporates autobiographical memories, defined as the memories people have of their own lives. I argue that individuals ́ autobiographical memories are transformed into collective declarative memory via transactive memory processes, and that the resulting memory systems play a significant role in the development, adaptation ...
