Simulation of Knowledge Transfer Process Model Between Universities: A Perspective of Cluster Innovation Network by Fang Wei, Xiao Limin

“…Combined with the basic properties of the cluster innovation network, with the cluster innovation network, which can be composed of different universities that have knowledge potential difference as the research object, the knowledge transfer process is divided into four stages: knowledge externalization, knowledge sharing, knowledge innovation, and knowledge internalization, and the article constructs a knowledge transfer process model through introducing explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge conversion effect mechanism. According to the theory of complex adaptive system, the principle of network connection oriented the knowledge potential difference and the characteristic of the explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge within universities. …”

Les transactions économico-sexuelles : actrices et acteurs, institutions et territoires by Salomé Donzallaz, Olivier Crevoisier

“…The aim is to identify the relational, institutional and computational modalities of SETs, and to propose an ideal-type based on Commons' transaction theory ([1934], 1989). In order to understand the interconnection between SETs and the rest of society, in the second section we identify a typology of territorialities, using the oppositions between public and private spaces on the one hand, and commercial and domestic spaces on the other. …”
