Antecedents, consequences, and moderators of time perspective heterogeneity for knowledge management in MNO teams
研究了跨国组织团队中成员时间视角差异的原因,以及这种差异如何影响知识创新的新颖性、知识创造速度和团队间知识转移速度,并探讨了其潜在益处。
Abstract Multinational organizations (MNOs), more so than other organizations, are likely to require individuals with different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds to form teams and collaboratively manage knowledge. We develop a framework that shows why variations in time perspectives among members of teams occur and how such differences can exert significant but unacknowledged influences on knowledge management efforts in MNOs, including: (1) innovativeness of knowledge created (2) speed of knowledge creation and (3) speed of knowledge transfer between teams. We also provide new insights into benefits of time perspective heterogeneity for teams managing knowledge. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
