This seminar explores the intricate relationships between knowledge transfer, innovation, and performance in Inter-Organizational Systems (IOS). Led by Eoin Whelan and myself, we delve into the significance of both formal teams and informal communities in fostering collective knowledge. By examining key factors such as tacit and explicit knowledge integration, we aim to understand how IOS influences the efficiency and creativity within Inter-Organizational Virtual Teams (IOVT). Join us as we discuss technological considerations and strategies for enhancing performance through effective knowledge management practices.
