Jastroch N., Jastroch T. Marlowe Knowledge Transfer in Collaborative Knowledge Management: A Semiotic View

Systemics, Cybernetics, and Informatics vol 8 - num 6 - the year 2010.Codification and transfer of knowledge are essential in the practice of knowledge management. Theoretical knowledge, like scientific theories and models, by nature comes in coded representation for the explicit purpose of the transfer. Practical knowledge, as involved frequently in engineering or business operations, however, is a priori uncoded, making transfer for further use or the generation of new knowledge difficult. This paper presents a semiotic perspective on the transfer of knowledge within collaborations.
