The term cultural ontology is introduced to refer to such explication. Using a framework based on a modified version of Gupta and Govindarjan's model of the knowledge transfer btw. subsidiaries in Multi-National Corporation, and De Long and Fahey's framework for studying the cultural influences on knowledge transfer process, the elements of cultural ontology are specified. The cultural ontology specification document includes its domain, purpose, level of formality, scope, possible sources of knowledge, competency questions and the possible reusable ontologies. |
