Knowledge Economics: Improving Theoretical Framework of Knowledge Transfer

Khumalo, Bhekuzulu (2008): Knowledge Economics: Improving Theoretical Framework of Knowledge Transfer.

Abstract

This paper we seek to develop a knowledge transfer model from knowledge economic theory. Knowledge transfer is accepted as the end of the cycle in the knowledge process it is therefore important to have a knowledge transfer model from existing knowledge economic theory. Endeavoring to build this model the paper at firsts looks at the concept of knowledge transfer and then the model is built. The model is built on the fundamentals of time, of the properties of knowledge in the short and long term, very distinct properties, it is a step in the right direction.
