Abstract

Coordination issues in knowledge transfer have become increasingly complex due to technological diversity. A classic view on coordination, based on structured and shared cognitive models, is being replaced by an understanding of how coordination actually happens in practice, in a context-dependent and non-routine way. This paper presents a sociomaterial perspective of both knowledge transfer and coordination. Specifically, through a case study in the heritage domain, we investigated how a sociomaterial perspective drives coordination in inter-organizational knowledge transfer activities. Using an affordance-centered analysis, we explore how the process of imbrication has resulted in ontological transformations in sociomaterial heritage co-evolving with dynamic and emergent coordination practices of the associated knowledge transfer.
