Dynamic Mechanisms Research on Knowledge Transfer Research in the Supply Chain

Wang Xiuhong

Abstract: Supply chains are knowledge bases which are polymerized by these different and complementary knowledge resources which are obviously more abundant than any membe's knowledge. However, in the supply chain transferring knowledge is more difficult because of knowledge features of uncertainty and complexity. Most of research on knowledge transfer have focused on enterprise internal knowledge transfer at present. Methods which are used to deal with knowledge transfer problem within the enterprises can not be directly extrapolated to research on knowledge transfer in the supply chain. In the study, system dynamics model is used to solve the above problem. Using the model, this study not only analyze qualitatively influence factors of knowledge transfer and relation each other in the supply chain but also describes quantitatively process of knowledge transfer. In order to verify the applicability of the method, the study simulates knowledge transfer process of Huaan company and put forward the measures of improving the company's knowledge transfer efficiency.

Keywords: Knowledge transfer, supply chain and system dynamic model
