Toward Optimal Financial Reward Allocation for Promoting Knowledge Sharing Activity in CoPs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study is to introduce CoP reward allocation (COREA) system that efficiently solves a mathematical optimization problem to optimally allocate limited financial reward and to promote knowledge sharing activities in CoPs. To test the validity and usefulness of COREA, we simulate three knowledge sharing climates in which the majority of CoPs performs below-, on-, or above-average. In addition, we also allow knowledge sharing activity of CoPs to improve or deteriorate over years in each climate. Our experimental results confirm that the proposed COREA system performs significantly better than the currently available reward system over various scenarios. In particular, the COREA system finds approximately optimal financial reward allocations for many cases in which the current reward system fails to find solutions that meet constraints.
