A Translation Theory of Knowledge Transfer: Learning Across Organizational Borders

Autor Kjell Arne Røvik
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 apr 2023
In A Translation Theory of Knowledge Transfer, Kjell Arne Røvik develops a new theory on the challenges of transferring and sharing knowledge across organizational borders. Based on extensive research, he proposes a new, reframing idea of knowledge transfer as acts of translation, resembling the translation of texts. This new concept both extends and challenges established theories of knowledge transfer.Containing a comprehensive review of the last 40 years of research on knowledge transfer across organizational borders, this book also offers a step-by-step account of how a new theory within organizational research has been developed. Røvik states that the capacity of an organization to transfer and exploit knowledge from other organizations is a key to its competitiveness, progress, and even survival, and convincingly argues how this new translation theory can be used to guide practitioners involved in knowledge transfer processes.

Recenzii

A Translation Theory of Knowledge Transfer is a real tour de force through the knowledge transfer field. The book masterfully surveys decades of research and provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of this field of study. Professor Røvik deftly shows the limits of the prevailing ways of thinking about knowledge transfer, and he offers an alternative in the metaphor and theory of translation. A must read for anyone with an interest in knowledge transfer.
Knowledge transfer is a phenomenon taken for granted in global economy. But how does it happen, and where and why doesn't it happen? Kjell-Arne Røvik asked this tremendously important question and looked for answers in an impressive array of literature, containing both theoretical models and empirical studies. The resulting theory is convincing and amply documented. This book will become a necessary lecture for students, professors, consultants, and managers alike.
A Translation Theory of Knowledge Transfer: Learning Across Organizational Borders is an absolute "must read" for all scholars interested in how ideas are translated into practice. Kjell Arne Røvik provides a thoughtful, comprehensive, and provocative examination of the processes of knowledge translation by setting out a robust framework for understanding research to date, as well as establishing a groundbreaking pathway for future work.
The lucid exposition of the translation perspective and the varied array of empirical cases make this book an invaluable contribution to the growing field of organizational translation. It should be required reading not only for those interested in innovation and knowledge transfer but also for the broader community of researchers and practitioners engaged in understanding the complexities of organizational learning and change.
Both a Norwegian and an international audience interested in organizational science can be grateful that this day has now come.
