Knowledge Transfer Methodology

Technology KT Bibliography
Sometimes we can overlook the interesting literature on KT and Technology, perhaps viewing older articles as simply outdated. I've included an array of interesting resources listed below from different subject areas that address KT and Technology. You may find them of interest.

For example, one article refers to the interpretation of "Technology" as "knowledge" while some resources from the MIS Quarterly reveals content where computer science and social sciences are converging. There is also a reference to legal issues, "technology in the courtroom" and developing a model for technology/cultural factors in knowledge management.
