Abstract

Sustainable development requires that distant organisations connect to one another and exchange knowledge. Online social networks have the potential to support these processes. It is however important to understand and model the processes of knowledge transfer that can effectively occur on the Internet. This paper explores recent literature with the purpose to highlight relevant formal approaches that can help to model and analyse the processes of inter-organisational knowledge transfer for sustainable development.
