Model of Multilayer Knowledge Diffusion for Competence Development in an Organization

Abstract

Growing role of intellectual capital within organizations is affecting new strategies related to knowledge management and competence development. Among different aspects related to this field, knowledge diffusion has become one of interesting areas from both practitioner and researcher's perspective. Several models were proposed with main goal to simulate diffusion and to explain the nature of these processes. Existing models are focused on knowledge diffusion and they assume diffusion within a single layer using knowledge representation. From the organizational perspective connecting several types of knowledge and modelling changes of competence can bring additional value. In the article we extended existing approaches by using multilayer diffusion model and focused on analysis of competence development process. The proposed model describes competence development process in a new way through horizontal and vertical knowledge diffusion in multilayer network. In the network, agents collaborate and interchange various kind of knowledge through different layers and this mutual activities affect the competences in a positive or negative way. Taking under consideration worker's cognitive and social abilities and the previous level of competence the ARTICLE in MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS IN ENGINEERING · NOVEMBER 2014 2 new competence level can be estimated. The model is developed to support competence management in different organizations.

[Retracted] Optimization of Flipped Classroom Teaching Model Based on Social Cognitive Network

“…In terms of literature content, flipped classroom research involves theoretical research on its origin, definition, characteristics, local applicability of teaching mode, and construction of teaching mode, as well as practical research on teaching design combined with subject application and application effect detection. e applied research fields involve five levels: primary school, junior high school, senior high school, vocational college, and university, among which the flipped classroom teaching model is mostly applied in universities [7,8]. Based on the differences between Chinese and American cultures, this paper discusses how to localize the advantages of flipped classroom [9].…”

A picture is worth a thousand words: an empirical study on the influence of content visibility on diffusion processes within a virtual world

“…Additionally, virtual worlds have been used as laboratories and experimental platforms for studying economic behaviour and decision-making, areas such as the spread of virtual goods within virtual worlds (Bakshy, Karrer, and Adamic 2009;Huffaker et al 2011), labour markets (Horton, Rand, and Zeckhauser 2011), moral hazard (Tolvanen 2016), trust (Fiedler and Haruvy 2009;Fiedler, Haruvy, and Li 2011), avatar markets (Castronova 2001), and market efficiency (Golde 2008). A wide area of research based on a content within virtual worlds and online social networks is related to education (Baker, Wentz, and Woods 2009;Warburton 2009), collaborative learning (Lytras et al 2015;Różewski et al 2015) with special focus on dynamic experience management (Riedl et al 2008), interactions (Petrakou 2010), engagement , knowledge acquisition (Jankowski et al 2015), multilayer knowledge diffusion (Rożewski and Jankowski 2015), social learning innovations (Lytras et al 2014), web-based knowledge exchange (Filipowski et al 2012), and online marketplace (D'Avanzo and Kuflik 2013).…”

A Hierarchical Optimal Control of Uncertain and Time-Varying Knowledge Dissemination Model in Complex Network

“…Tere are a lot of researchers who have studied this in depth; for example, Cao et al [9] took the forgetting mechanism into account and developed a completely new model. Rozewski and Jankowski [10] integrated self-learning ability into the model and simulated it with a new method. Furthermore, Wang et al found in the course of their research that human selflearning ability can spread knowledge more widely [11].…”
