Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the vital function of gatekeepers in the transfer of external information and technology within research and development settings. Gatekeepers are individuals who are well-connected both internally and externally, serving as brokers of knowledge between organizations and their surrounding environments. The author's research reveals the essential nature of gatekeepers in organizations by comparing project performance ratings of subunits with and without gatekeepers. They found that gatekeepers play a significant role in channeling external information into their units, particularly for those tasks constrained by local organizational definitions and practices. However, for more universally defined tasks, the presence of gatekeepers was inversely related to subunit performance. The book delves into the mechanisms by which gatekeepers facilitate information flow, emphasizing their role in not only gathering and translating external information but also in fostering effective communication among their team members. The study highlights how gatekeepers reduce the barriers of communication and enable more efficient knowledge sharing, ultimately enhancing project performance. This book contributes to our understanding of the crucial role that gatekeepers play in navigating the complexities of external communication and information processing within organizations. Its insights are valuable for managers, researchers, and anyone seeking to optimize the use of external knowledge and technology for organizational success.
