From Shannon-Weaver to Boisot: A Review on the Research of Knowledge Transfer Model

Scholars always try to uncover the mechanism of KT (Knowledge Transfer) for it is an important part of Knowledge Management (KM). The complicated mechanism of KT can be described with the intuitionistic models. According to the development of the research work, the paper reviews 4 typical KT models brought forward by Shannon-Weaver, Szulanski, Nonaka & Takeuchi and Boisot. The paper analyzes the relationship between the 4 models and insists that the relationship is not of a line but of a network. The emphasis of the future research is to make the models more uniform and to do more empirical research.
