Abstract

The initialization and performance of a new high-tech project (HTP) is affected by team knowledge transferred from the completed project. This study explores which are the key factors influence the vertical transposition of team knowledge across HTPs. Through investigating and analyzing the situation of inheritance of team knowledge using data from HTPs of universities in China, following causes were found to various extents to impact on performance of inheritance of knowledge: Maturity and will of the impartation team; Competency and loyalty of the receptor team; Time and form of the activities concerning vertical transfer of team knowledge this outcome is conducive to put forth pertinent countermeasures.
