nowadays, due to increasing the complexity of ic engines, calibration task becomes more severe and the need to use surrogate models for investigating of the engine behavior arises. accordingly, many black box modeling approaches have been used in this context among which network based models are of the most powerful approaches thanks to their flexible structures. in this paper four network base...

Preserving and fostering knowledge is the vital interest of a network-like virtual organization. The decentralized and geographically distributed organizational structure inhibits knowledge flow. The particular conditions of knowledge management in virtual organizations are discussed by the example of an empirical study we carried out in a service company.

However, the outcome of these technological interventions is not quite clear mainly because the interaction betwee...

The realization that Knowledge Management (KM) is primarily a management science and not a computer science implies a different role for technology in KM. This role is concerned with supporting and extending human interaction and learning, and has therefore the need for intelligence-enhanced, integrated and personalized solutions including agent-based approaches. A people centered view of KM, r...

Literature on organizational learning (OL) shows that even firms who self-perceive themselves to have appropriate structures still fail generate outcomes. In this article, we claim one of the neglected key factors explaining failures are defensive routines (ODRs). Drawing literature, our theoretical inference is high levels ODRs can negatively moderate relationship between and OL. To test moder...
