The effects of environment, knowledge attribute, organizational climate, and firm characteristics on knowledge sourcing decisions
Article Abstract:
Research on the influence of corporate structure and behavior on knowledge management and decision-making is presented. Findings show that knowledge tends to develop internally if a firm's environment is a) less dynamic and munificent; b) fosters high levels of autonomy and intention; and c) contains sufficient capabilities and abundant development experience.

Article Abstract:
Studies show that knowledge transfer performance is influenced positively by a company's absorptive capacity and the explicitness of knowledge. Adjustment and trust also have a positive influence; however, conflict produces a curvilinear effect.
