We investigate the intra-organizational antecedents of firm-level absorptive capacity (AC). Specifically, we examine how the functional areas of R&D, manufacturing and marketing contribute to the absorption of knowledge coming from different external knowl ...
In this paper we introduce a budgeted knowledge transfer algorithm for non-homogeneous reinforcement learning agents. Here the source and the target agents are completely identical except in their state representations. The algorithm uses functional space ...
The knowledge residing in the mental models of clients and stakeholders is considered as a crucial source of information by system dynamicists. Despite the importance of this knowledge, the theory of SD does not provide practical means for eliciting and re ...
