Abstract: | Groups of organizations are pervasive, although there is little systematic knowledge about how they affect their members. The authors examine one dimension of the operation of organization groups, the transfer of experience. The core augment is that organization groups may create benefits for their members, but problems for those outside the group. Within the group they can facilitate the transfer of experience among their members by creating mechanisms for communication, incentives for helping, and by promoting understanding. The study is based on a longitudinal analysis of the profitability of kibbutz agriculture. |
