The need for knowledge modification in technology change: a framework to consider changes in domain complexity, knowledge and productivity
基于五个案例研究,探讨领域复杂性和知识容量如何影响生产力,为管理者在技术变革中讨论生产力、知识发展和学习计划提供概念框架。
This paper researches productivity in relation to domain complexity and the present knowledge capacity in an organisational context. The study is based on five very different case studies. Three studies are conducted in Denmark, Germany, Mexico and China and are related to knowledge transfer in the relocation of manufacturing facilities. Two studies investigate operation and automation of oil and gas production in the North Sea. The case study method involves semi-structured interviews, surveys, an analysis of historical production data and observations. Based on the findings from the field studies, the paper develops a conceptual framework that management can use for discussions of productivity, development of knowledge and design of learning programmes when considering changes in the complexity of a domain or a change in knowledge.
