Work Groups, Structural Diversity, and Knowledge Sharing in a Global Organization (2004, background): “Along with verbal communication about the task and the exchange of tangible artifacts, knowledge sharing includes the implicit coordination of expertise (Faraj and Sproull 2000) and information about who knows what in the group (Rulke and Galaskiewicz 2000).”
Structural properties of work groups and their consequences for performance (2003, background): “For example, studies of transactive memory have demonstrated that groups benefit from accurate knowledge of who knows what (Liang et al., 1995; Moreland and Myaskovsky, 2000; Rulke and Galaskiewicz, 2000).”
The Internal and External Networks of Knowledge-Intensive Teams (2013, background): “It follows that the presence of network ties that link team members to external resources should be positively associated with team performance (Oh et al., 2004; Reagans et al., 2004; Rulke & Galaskiewicz, 2000; Wong, 2008).”
Transactive Memory Systems in Organizations: Matching Tasks, Expertise, and People (2004, background): “…be less effective than working collectively on complex tasks that are unfamiliar to all members (cf. Hollingshead 1998a) when group performance depends on the pooling of both unique and overlapping knowledge (cf. Rulke and Galaskiewicz 2000) or when the group task is not divisible (Steiner 1972).”
Knowledge, Networks, and Knowledge Networks (2011, background): “Similarly, intraunit communication facilitates the development of shared mental models, which increases the internal sharing of tacit knowledge and unit knowledge creation (Cheng, 1984).”
Expertise Integration and Creativity in Information Systems Development (2005, background): “Such compositional attributes have seldom been considered in prior studies of project teams [56].”
Knowledge networks in new product development projects: A transactive memory perspective (2005, background): “In our study, activities of new product development teams were analyzed to determine the antecedents and consequences on the transactive memory systems, the moderating affect of task complexity was also considered.”
A Relational View of Information Seeking and Learning in Social Networks (2003, methodology): “Cost (C) Seeking information or advice from other people can be costly.”
Transactive Memory Systems (2008, positive): “…network nodes, with network ties (linkages between people) presenting others’ awareness of that expertise (Borgatti & Cross, 2003; Contractor, Wasserman, & Faust, 2006; Hollingshead, 1998b; Hollingshead, Fulk, & Monge, 2002; N. Katz, Lazer, Arrow, & Contractor, 2004; Rulke & Galaskiewicz, 2000).”
Group Decision Making Under Conditions of Distributed Knowledge: The Information Asymmetries Model. (2007, background): “…and from the present one, it is evident that most of the research about group decisionmaking under conditions of distributed knowledge is reported in social psychological journals devoted to laboratory-based research (for exceptions see, Baba et al., 2004; Rulke & Galaskiewicz, 2000).”
