Information sharing among group members is critical for group and organizational success. A transactive memory perspective is used to understand and explain how the nature of information sharing can change with passage of time. Findings of information sharing research are discussed in the light of transactive memory theory. The paper proposes that nature of information sharing in group changes with passage of time as the transactive memory system develops. Keywords: information sharing, transactive memory system, group

Changes with Passage of Time : A Transactive Memory Perspective

The paper assesses the difference in the nature of relationship between efficiency and its determinants of Indian cement producing firms in the presence and absence of environmental regulation. It provides an intuitive construct to identify the determinants of efficiency, which is followed by an empirical verification using a two-stage stochastic data envelopment analysis. Important quantitative determinants of efficiency include factor intensities of outputs, levels of pollution abatements, gross value added, whereas size, age, ownership type, development indicators of the place of location of a firm are among the qualitative determinants. An initial phase and a matured phase of regulation are considered in the paper. The main results suggest that capital intensity of output plays a positive role in increasing efficiency under regulation in the initial phase, material intensity in both phases and labour intensity, a negative role, in the subsequent phase. Higher levels of pollution abatements cause higher efficiency under regulation, while in the initial phase private firms report higher efficiencies under regulation; it is just the reverse in the subsequent phase. Size, age and development indicator of the state in which a firm is located can play a positive role to achieve higher efficiencies in the matured phase of regulation. © 2011 Operational Research Society Ltd.

In recent years concurrent, overlapping development activities of engineering tasks have proved to be a cost-effective and time-efficient way to build products geared toward meeting the demands of a competitive and quality-conscious market. In this study, we examine the structure and dynamics of a software project in information technology industrial research and development that has this methodology as its foundation. We first describe a number of software engineering aspects of the project that elucidate how various development activities in its concurrently unfolding component projects are overlapped and integrated to gradually build the product over time. Using the mathematical tools of dynamic systems analysis, we next derive a number of results that characterize the long-term, stable behavior of the project. These results are then used in a numerical simulation to illustrate a procedure by which relevant resources can be distributed across the components in a way that maintains continued stability of the project over time. Our modeling approach is flexible enough to allow the theoretical results and the simulation techniques to be easily generalized to study, in real time, the stability, maintenance, and management of similar concurrent projects. The usefulness of the method lies in motivating and refining managerial decisions that drive overlapping development activities of such projects. © 2010 IEEE.
