A finite element model of knowledge network performance in organization

Knowledge network performance is a very popular topic now, firstly the attribute of the knowledge network is analyzed, and is compared with the finite element system, it is found that some general characters exist between the two systems. Based on this, a knowledge network appraisal model is established with the finite element analysis which is used in engineering problems, this model could quantify the knowledge network assessment problems, which will promote knowledge management. A case study with this model shows that a department or individual with more knowledge couldn't contribute more, because this is related with other factors such as communication frequency and so on.
