The Acquisition and Asymmetric Transfer of Interactive Routines
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the ways in which small changes in the cost of using an interface influence interactive behavior. During the Training Phase of the study, subjects in two interface conditions acquired two different sets of interactive routines for programming the shows. During the Transfer Phase we observed asymmetric transfer. In one case, Subjects immediately abandoned the interactive routines they had used during training and adopted the other set of routines. In the other case, Subjects held steadfast to their original set. We discuss both acquisition and asymmetric transfer in terms of cost-benefit tradeoffs in interacting with the two task environments.

The purpose of this study is to extend the existing knowledge of inter-firm knowledge transfer research and provide a deeper understanding of knowledge transfer practice in an alliance context, as well as the reasons for such a practice. This study reports on relevant results derived from semi-structured interviews with 16 top managers in a Chinese international joint venture (IJV) formed by tw...
متن کاملInterruptive Events and Team Knowledge Acquisition
Interruptions have commonly been viewed as negative and as something for managers to control or limit. In this paper, I explore the relationship between interruptions and acquisition of routines—a form of knowledge—by teams. Recent research suggests that interruptions may play an important role in changing organizational routines, and as such may influence knowledge transfer activities. Results...

متن کاملEffects of Slip and Heat Transfer on MHD Peristaltic Flow in An Inclined Asymmetric Channel
Peristaltic transport of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid in an inclined planar asymmetric channel is studied. The asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitude and phase. The closed form solutions of momentum and energy equation in presence of viscous dissipation term are obtained for long wave length and low Reynol...
