Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Cooperative work, if it is by a team of engineers, or by a group of experts, requires coordination by sharing common knowledge. We focus on knowledge transaction as the methodology of sharing knowledge. Knowledge transaction processes are formulated as knowledge trading games among selfish agents. Each agent has idiosyncratic utility function defined over his private knowledge and common knowledge. Each agent trades his knowledge with others in order to improve his own utility. In this paper, we focus on heterogeneity of agents. Agent decide whether trade or not in terms of cost and value of new knowledge. The way to decide is different from each agent. We characterize an organization of heterogeneous agents by their threshold. We investigate what characteristics of an organization promote knowledge trading or discourage sharing common knowledge.
