Inter-Organisational Knowledge Sharing In Regional Sustainable Development Communities, Rosemary Van Der Meer, Luba Torlina, Jamie Mustard Jan 2013

Inter-Organisational Knowledge Sharing In Regional Sustainable Development Communities, Rosemary Van Der Meer, Luba Torlina, Jamie Mustard

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

There has been an increasing interest in the use of inter-organisational groups to address regional implications in sustainable development. These groups bring together local knowledge and expertise and span boundaries between government and industry organisations. Our focus is in understanding how knowledge is shared in such inter-organisational groups. Utilising interviews, observations and social network analysis, we examine the knowledge sharing implications derived from the mixed membership, multilevel interaction, and the need to span boundaries with external organisations in these collaborations.

Teleconsultation Knowledge Sharing In Healthcare: Resource Influences, Rosemary Van Der Meer, Khin Than Win, William Tibben, Nurazean Maarop

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

The purpose of this paper is to examine the resource influences on the knowledge sharing in teleconsultation. The study was conducted by interviewing 28 participants from 11 hospitals in the Ministry of Health, Malaysia. Top-down microanalysis of interview data was performed using a descriptive knowledge sharing framework that focuses on resource influences. The results indicate that resources can influence knowledge sharing opportunities in teleconsultation in areas such as professional development and learning, greater training opportunities, having champions within the hospitals, IT support and the facilitation from administration.
