Knowledge creation through multimodal communication

Marcus Berliant and Masahisa Fujita

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Knowledge creation either in isolation or joint with another person, using either face to face or internet contact, incorporating internet search ability is analyzed. In addition to formal knowledge, tacit knowledge plays an essential role in the knowledge production process. Due to a myopic decision rule used by knowledge workers, the sink point of the dynamic system is found not be the most effective long run profile for knowledge creation. The framework is applied to pandemic restrictions on face to face communication; workers with longer commutes experience less of a relative productivity loss from restrictions than workers with shorter commutes.
