Abstract

By analyzing the behavior of knowledge communication in organizations, sufficiency index and equity index are proposed to measure the effectiveness of knowledge communication and explore the effect of partner selection mechanism. The process of knowledge communication on small-world network is simulated. Results show that the mechanism for selecting neighbors who have higher knowledge level could promote knowledge communication, on the other hand, the mechanism for selecting neighbors who have more work experiences results in a clustering effect and impedes knowledge communication in organizations.

Key words

knowledge communication / small-world network / selection of communication partner / computational simulation
