Team Microdynamics: Toward an Organizing Approach to Teamwork (2014, methodology): “…such as marriages (see Wegner, Giuliano, & Hertel, 1985) and there are a number of studies of dyadic TMSs (Hollingshead, 1998a, 1998b), it was quickly transferred to the team level of analysis (Liang, Moreland, & Argote, 1995), where most of the research now rests (Ren & Argote, 2011).”
Enterprise Social Media: Definition, History, and Prospects for the Study of Social Technologies in Organizations (2013, background): “Metaknowledgeisimportantforthefunctioningoforganizations because it is an important antecedent to the transfer of instrumental knowledge (Ren & Argote, 2011).”
Distributed Cognition in Top Management Teams and Organizational Ambidexterity (2017, background): “Despite a proliferation of research on the contingencies surrounding transactive memory systems (see Ren & Argote, 2011, for a review), the question of how their effects are boosted or constrained by forces of diversity in teams has not received much systematic attention.”
The Role of Interdependence in the Micro-Foundations of Organization Design: Task, Goal, and Knowledge Interdependence (2020, background): “One way to build such predictive knowledge within module 1 is by encouraging the development of transactive memory systems (or TMS) (Hollingshead, 1998; Mell, van Knippenberg, & Ginkel, 2014; Ren & Argote, 2011; Wegner, 1987; Wegner, Giuliano & Hertel, 1985).”
Ambient Awareness and Knowledge Acquisition: Using Social Media to Learn "Who Knows What" and "Who Knows Whom" (2015, background): “have worked together with them on teams (Ren and Argote, 2011).”
Imprinting by Design: The Microfoundations of Entrepreneurial Adaptation (2014, background): “Future research should test these proposals, and give far greater attention to the integrative structures and functions of transactive memory, not only its differentiated features (Ren & Argote, 2011).”
Mapping 50 Years of Small Group Research Through Small Group Research (2020, background): “For example, transactive memory systems and shared leadership are similar in recognizing team members’ unique contributions to team processes and how teams rely on distinct members to collectively achieve team goals (Pearce & Conger, 2002; Ren & Argote, 2011).”
Organizational Structure, Information Processing, and Decision-Making: A Retrospective and Road Map for Research (2020, background): “…may reduce the organization’s dependence on meetings or liaison positions for increasing direct lateral communication among employees or subunits; it may also increase “transactive” memory (Ren & Argote, 2011)—which has been shown to improve decision quality—and reduce the duplication of work.”
Cognition and Capabilities: A Multi-Level Perspective (2013, background): “…Kogut and Zander (1996), Rulke, Zaheer, and Anderson (2000), Denrell, Arvidsson, and Zander (2004), Miner, Gong, Baker, and O’Toole (2011), Ren and Argote (2011), and Argote and Ren (2012) Managers with greater experience with a capability have a more refined understanding of its…”
