Strategic interaction support for knowledge sharing in virtual communities

Knowledge sharing in VCs heavily relies on members¿ interaction, which takes participants¿ time and effort to collaborate, and the costs of and benefits from interactions in knowledge sharing vary with different collaborator selection. To achieve efficient and effective knowledge sharing, strategic interactions are needed. In this paper, we tried to tackle the strategic interaction support problem for knowledge sharing in VCs from the perspective of cognitive background and social relationship context.
