Nonaka and Takeuchi’s (1995) model of organizational learning emphasizes the need for face-to-face communication to establish a channel for tacit-to-tacit knowledge exchange between individuals.

The aim of this article is to examine the role of copresent interaction and the extent to which this can be supplanted by information and communication technology-based interaction for managing knowledge transfer in distributed settings. This study draws on two case studies of small UK firms sourcing software development from India and Bangladesh. Using Nonaka and Konno’s knowledge creation the...

We have carried out a radio-wavelength imaging survey of 45 bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs), using the Australia Telescope Compact Array to characterise the physical properties in their ionised boundary layers. We detected radio emission from a total of 25 clouds and using a combination of Digitised Sky Survey and mid-infrared MSX 8 μm images classified the emission into that associated with the io...
