A quantitative model on knowledge management for team cooperation

Effective cooperation plays an important role in this era characterized by global collaboration, so issues about teamwork have become hot topics. Team size has always been considered to be a significant factor in corporation systems, but recently, more and more enterprises are aware of the fact that knowledge management is a crucial key to gain competitive advantage. This paper integrates knowledge management issues with a cooperation model, focusing on the quantitative relationship among productivity interest, knowledge management, working time allocation and team size. As a result, some useful insights have been concluded from model analysis to improve teamwork performance.
