Abstract :
This paper models knowledge diffusion as a barter process among people which are connected in a mentor-protege network. Experimental results demonstrate the effects of knowledge diffusion among people under mentor-protege relationship. Moreover, two extended knowledge diffusion models are proposed to enhance effectiveness and efficiency of knowledge diffusion in team, and some suggestions on organizational management are discussed.
