Editing Dispersed knowledge (section)

== Strategies ==
There are several strategies targeting at the problems caused by dispersed knowledge.

First of all, replacing knowledge by getting access to knowledge can be one of the strategies.<ref>{{Cite journal|jstor=2393553|title = Absorptive Capacity: A New Perspective on Learning and Innovation|last1 = Cohen|first1 = Wesley M|date = 1990|journal = Administrative Science Quarterly|doi = 10.2307/2393553|last2 = Levinthal|first2 = Daniel A|issn = 0001-8392|pages = 128–152|volume = 35|issue=1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|jstor=259373|title = Social capital, intellectual capital, and the organizational advantage|last1 = Nahapiet|first1 = Janine|date = 1998|journal = The Academy of Management Review|doi = 10.5465/amr.1998.533225|last2 = Ghoshal|first2 = Sumantra|issn = 0363-7425|pages = 242–266|volume = 23|issue=2|citeseerx = 10.1.1.598.8940}}</ref>

What's more, the capability to complete incomplete knowledge can deal with knowledge gaps created by the dispersed knowledge.

In addition, making a design of institutions with reasonable coordination mechanisms can be regarded as the third strategy.<ref>{{Cite journal|jstor=40397436|title = Managing Cross-Border Complementary Knowledge: Conceptual Developments in the Business Process Approach to Knowledge Management in Multinational Firms|last1 = Burkley|first1 = Peter J|date = 1999|journal = International Studies of Management & Organization|doi = 10.1080/00208825.1999.11656758|last2 = Carter|first2 = Martin J|volume = 29|issue=1|issn = 0020-8825|pages = 80–104}}</ref>

Besides, resolving organization units into smaller ones should be taken into consideration.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Games and decisions : introduction and critical survey|last1 = Luce|first1 = R Duncan|publisher = Dover Publications|year = 1957|isbn = 978-0486659435|location = New York|last2 = Howard|first2 = Raiffa|url-access = registration|url = https://archive.org/details/gamesdecisions00rdun}}</ref>

Last but not least, providing more data to decision maker will be helpful for making a correct decision.
