Often, organizations do not have to look too far to find best practices. In many cases, the repository of stellar practice, the outstanding center of excellence is in their own backyard. It seems sensible to expect that, once uncovered, the example set by an inhouse center of excellence will be readily emulated by other units of the organization. Evidence, however, suggests otherwise. Expectations vastly exceed the actual extent that best practices diffuse inside firms. Best practices fail to diffuse in part due to unawareness, (some firms are wholly innocent of their own best practices), and also because, far from being automatic, the transfer of best practices inside the firm is restrained by difficulty.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Often, organizations do not have to look too far to find best practices. In many cases, the repository of stellar practice, the outstanding center of excellence is in their own backyard. It seems sensible to expect that, once uncovered, the example set by an inhouse center of excellence will be readily emulated by other units of the organization. Evidence, however, suggests otherwise. Expectations vastly exceed the actual extent that best practices diffuse inside firms. Best practices fail to diffuse in part due to unawareness, (some firms are wholly innocent of their own best practices), and also because, far from being automatic, the transfer of best practices inside the firm is restrained by difficulty.
520 $a Why might best practice not spread? This dissertation is an empirical study of the barriers to transfer best practice inside the firm. The data source is primary. The method combines an in-depth clinical study with a large-sample survey design. The theoretical lens is the resource based view of the firm; more specifically, the appropriation of rents from existing knowledge. According to this perspective, barriers to the transfer of best practice inside the firm are seen as barriers to the appropriation of rents from the existing stock of a firm's knowledge. Difficult transfers of knowledge are said to be sticky. Stickiness is the dependent variable of this study. The independent variables are origins of stickiness. A framework to study stickiness is constructed by extending systematically a communications based logic pioneered by Arrow. The initial formulation of the framework is refined through an extensive literature review and a detailed clinical examination of transfers within three companies. Construct validity and the relative weight of the origins of stickiness is assessed empirically through a two-step large sample survey spanning 122 transfers of 38 practices.
520 $a The performance of the measurement model is satisfactory in terms of convergent, discriminant and nomological validity and the framework has considerable explanatory power. These findings suggest the value of a communication approach to the study of knowledge transfer and afford insight into a fundamental dilemma on the appropriation of rents from a firm's existing stock of knowledge.
