What have we learnt? • Social cohesion promotes cooperative norms which positively effect knowledge sharing. • Network range (ties across organizational, social boundaries) in a heterogeneous community eases sharing knowledge. Piyoo Kochar
What have we learnt? • South-South knowledge sharing requires integrating issue based approach w/ different mediums of sharing and learning . • Network should facilitate transformation of information to knowledge Piyoo Kochar
