Intellectual Reputation to Find an Appropriate Person for a Role in Creation and Inheritance of Organizational Intellect

Abstract

Humans act collaboratively in a community with mutual understanding of others' roles in the context of an activity. Collaboration is not productive when mutual understanding is insufficient. This paper proposes "Intellectual Reputation" as a recommendation that is useful to find a right person for a right role in the creation and inheritance of organizational intellect. Intellectual reputation defines what is expected of an organization member to fully satisfy a role in the organizational intellect formation process. It can provide valuable awareness information for organization members to find an appropriate person for a given role in the creation and inheritance of organizational intellect. This paper explains the concept of intellectual reputation and the way to generate it. First, this paper describes requirements to generate Intellectual reputation and introduce models filling the requirements. Then, it explains a generation mechanism of intellectual reputation and how the models work in the mechanism. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
