Knowledge sharing that takes place among team members is a process of great relevance that builds ties and relationships which in turn results in positive organizational and team outcomes. However, as it is not usually formally included in the job descriptions and is not a formal part of organizations’ and team activities, it is considered to be an organization citizenship behavior. Our paper emphasizes significance of tacit and explicit knowledge sharing to team performance in the context of scientific cooperation. Positive relationship between tacit knowledge sharing and explicit knowledge sharing with team performance was found using linear regression. Furthermore, high levels of knowledge sharing and team performance were identified among scientists.

This paper addresses the issues that arise when corporations are required to make strategic choices regarding operation in foreign countries with diverse socio-political systems and culture, while taking into consideration all the relevant stakeholders, which ultimately affects the corporations’ current and future payoffs. Using the game theory principles we focus on Google’s internet search operations in China, particularly information dissemination decisions, and we examine how Google’s decisions affect the corporation’s success on the Chinese market, which is additionally determined by the information regulation policy of the Chinese authorities. In view of the fact that goals of Google and Chinese authorities are partially overlapping and partially conflicting this perfect information game contains both competitive and cooperative elements. In this paper we will argue that for Google or any other company in the equal situation the best strategic choice would be to respect and follow the laws and restrictions set by the authorities of the country in which the company chooses to operate. Finally, an analysis is completed through determining the optimal strategy for Google and Chinese authorities and finding the equilibrium point.
