This study explores the relationship between social characteristics of scientists and the interpersonal sharing of technological knowledge. The findings illuminate attributes of reputation conducive to the voluntary transfer of timely, relevant, technological knowledge among individual R&D scientists in the same multidivisional, multinational firm.

Industry Reviews

"Increasingly, knowledge sharing between firms and within firms is becoming a key to global competitive success. This book provides important new insights into how knowledge sharing can be enhanced and leveraged by global managers."

- Andrew Inkpen; J. Kenneth and Jeanette Seward Chair in Global Strategy and Professor of Management, Thunderbird School of Global Management

"How does the reputation a researcher has with colleagues across a multinational organization affect their willingness to share technical information with that person? This is the critically important issue that Prescott Ensign tackles in this fascinating and meticulously researched book. His findings should be read and absorbed by everyone managing or studying knowledge sharing."

- D. Eleanor Westney; Scotiabank Professor of International Business, Schulich School of Business at York University and Sloan Fellows Professor Emerita of the M.I.T. Sloan School of Management

"A path-breaking and insightful analysis of relationship between reputation and knowledge sharing among R&D scientists. This book by Prescott Ensign will be required reading for researchers and practitioners interested in innovation, R&D, and knowledge management in multinational firms."

- Kazuhiro Asakawa; Professor of Organizations and Strategy, Graduate School of Business Administration at Keio University, and Faculty Fellow, Research Institute of Economy, Trade & Industry (RIETI), Japanp>
