Description
Effective knowledge transfer plays a significant role in attaining competitive advantage in today's globalized knowledge economy. Based on the methodological foundation of design-oriented artifact construction in Information Systems (IS) research, Jörg Schmidl develops a new approach to connect knowledge workers. The new approach not only takes into account the actors' abilities but also their context and their potential willingness to interact - a facet on which contemporary approaches put only little emphasis. The prototypical implementation in a business software application showcased the great potential as well as broad user acceptance.
