Communicating Technical Knowledge
, 2010
"... In patent theory, the cost of communicating technical knowledge is small. In human capital theory, it is large. But evidence suggests that these costs are actually endogenous. Firms invest in reducing communication costs, but only when technology is sufficiently advanced. This can make competition ..."

Entrepreneurship and Advanced Technical Knowledge *
"... This paper proposes a theory according to which one’s capability to deal with uncertainty arising from the adoption of new technology is a key determinant of value creation in entrepreneurship. In a unified conceptual framework, we demonstrate that entrepreneurs possessing sufficiently high skills i ..."

against data. Our empirical analysis, utilizing information from Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System (SESTAT), indicates that entrepreneurial rewards crucially depend on the capability to adopt and implement advanced technical knowledge.
Mediators in the architecture of future information systems
- IEEE COMPUTER
, 1992
"... The installation of high-speed networks using optical fiber and high bandwidth messsage forwarding gateways is changing the physical capabilities of information systems. These capabilities must be complemented with corresponding software systems advances to obtain a real benefit. Without smart softw ..."

the administrative and technical knowledge to create information needed for decision-making. Software which mediates is common today, but the structure, the interfaces, and implementations vary greatly, so that automation of integration is awkward. By formalizing and implementing mediation we establish a partitioned
Grouplens: Applying collaborative filtering to usenet news
- COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM
, 1997
"... ... a collaborative filtering system for Usenet news—a high-volume, high-turnover discussion list service on the Internet. Usenet newsgroups—the individual discussion lists—may carry hundreds of messages each day. While in theory the newsgroup organization allows readers to select the content that m ..."

that most interests them, in practice most newsgroups carry a wide enough spread of messages to make most individuals consider Usenet news to be a high noise information resource. Furthermore, each user values a different set of messages. Both taste and prior knowledge are major factors in evaluating news
A translation approach to portable ontology specifications
- KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION
, 1993
"... To support the sharing and reuse of formally represented knowledge among AI systems, it is useful to define the common vocabulary in which shared knowledge is represented. A specification of a representational vocabulary for a shared domain of discourse — definitions of classes, relations, functions ..."

"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

The estimates indicate that: (i) imperfect knowledge about the management of the new seeds was a significant barrier to adoption; (ii) this barrier diminished as farmer experience with the new technologies increased; (iii) own experience and neighbors &apos
Direct Communication, Costs of Networking and Localization of Technical Knowledge
