“…Therefore, the organization and its network members should take it in turns to be the knowledge source (or sender) and recipient. In other words, they should participate intensively in both knowledgesending and receiving roles (Szász et al, 2019).…”

“…Firms can be positioned along a continuum from dominant knowledge sender to dominant knowledge receiver (Szász et al, 2019). In this paper, it has been proposed that the desorptive capacity of each actor involved in knowledge transfer should be considered simultaneously, placing the concept of desorptive capacity fit on a continuum between the two misfit extremes via more aligned positions.…”

“…Although prior studies have explicitly distinguished between the roles of being the knowledge sender and receiver, firms can play both roles and be positioned along a continuum from dominant knowledge sender to dominant knowledge receiver (Szász et al, 2019). Along this continuum, the interplay between the receiver´s absorptive and sender´s desorptive capacity matters; and it is possible to find net sender positionswhere sending knowledge outweighs received knowledgenet receiver positionswhere received knowledge outweighs sent knowledgeand intermediate positions where firms participate intensively in both activities and where the absorptive and desorptive capacities of each actor play different roles.…”

“…Following this, we will analyze the synergistic effect of the organization's and supply network´s absorptive capacity on positive desorptive capacity misfit based on their potential complementarity. Given increasing interest in understanding the interplay between the sender´s desorptive capacity and receiver´s absorptive capacity (Szász et al, 2019) to determine the effectiveness of knowledge transfer, we include this in the form of a post-hoc analysis.…”

The extant literature has highlighted the importance of knowledge transfer between a buyer and its supply network for strengthening supply chain competence. This is a bi-directional exchange where the buyer and supply network each act as the sender and receiver of knowledge. Prior research has however largely focused on the knowledge recipient only. We consider both sender and recipient using two key dynamic capabilities related to knowledge transfer: (i) desorptive capacity, which enables the safe transfer of knowledge from the sender; and, (ii) absorptive capacity, which enables the acquisition and assimilation of external knowledge by the recipient. Using the concept of 'fit', we investigate whether organizations strengthen supply chain competence when their desorptive capacity exceeds that of their supply network´s (positive misfit) and consider the moderating role of the organization's and supply network's absorptive capacity. Multiple regression analysis of survey data from 250 firms identifies an inverted U-shaped relationship between positive desorptive capacity misfit and supply chain competence. Further, this relationship is shown to be moderated by the supply network's absorptive capacity level. The paper furthers our understanding of supply chain knowledge management enabling buyers and their supply networks to achieve more successful knowledge transfer outcomes.

“…Mivel a tudáskérés dinamikus modellje (Borgatti & Cross, 2003) szerint a megvalósuló tudáskérés megváltoztatja a szereplők közötti bizalom szintjét és a szereplők egymás szakértelmére vonatkozó észlelését is, keresztmetszeti kutatásunkat longitudinális adatfelvétellel is érdemes lenne kiegészíteni. Szintén kecsegtető kutatási iránynak ígérkezik a tudáskérés mellett a tudásmegosztás motivációinak és feltételeinek további vizsgálata, például a disszeminációs és abszorpciós képességek bevonásával (Szász et al, 2019).…”

Napjainkban az eredményes szervezeti működéshez szükséges innováció szinte minden esetben a szervezeti tagok közötti közös gondolkodás és kooperáció, vagyis együtt alkotás során jön létre. Ennélfogva a különösen tehetséges egyének vizsgálata helyett egyre inkább a különböző ismeretekkel, tudással és képességekkel rendelkező személyek hálózatait érdemes elemezni. Tudáshálózatnak a hálózati szereplők olyan kapcsolódási rendszerét nevezik, amelynek elsődleges célja a szereplők által birtokolt tudás megosztása és ezen keresztül új tudás létrehozása. A szerzők a témában fellelhető szakirodalom áttekintésével bemutatják a tudáskérés és a tudásmegosztás hálózati megközelítésének előnyeit, majd ismertetik a tudáskérést és a tudásmegosztást befolyásoló szervezeti tényezőket. Empirikus kutatásuk során egy budapesti tanácsadó cég tudásmenedzsment-gyakorlatát vizsgálják meg a szervezet tudáshálózatának elemzésével. Eredményeik összegzésével arra a következtetésre jutnak, hogy a tudáskérés legfontosabb feltétele a másik fél észlelt szakértelme, hozzáértése. Kulcsszavak: szervezeti hálózatkutatás, tudáshálózat, tudáskérés, tudásmegosztás As a growing number of organizations are engaged in the knowledge economy, innovation is becoming an essential element of success. Innovation is almost always the product of collective thinking, cooperation, and co-creation. Thus, instead of examining particularly talented individuals, many researchers focus on analyzing networks of people possessing different knowledge, skills, and abilities. Knowledge networks are interconnected systems of actors who aim to share knowledge and generate new knowledge through a combination of knowledge elements. The authors argue for the advantages of a network perspective in the study of advice-seeking and knowledge sharing. Based on relevant literature, they introduce factors influencing advice-seeking and knowledge sharing behavior in organizations. The authors carried out their empirical research in a management consultancy company based in Budapest, Hungary. This paper concludes that perceived expertise is the most essential prerequisite of successful knowledge sharing in the examined organization.
