Tourism industry relies on destination-level knowledge transfer for innovation and competitiveness, yet slow adoption of knowledge management practices hinders the potential benefits. Academic studies on knowledge transfer and its efficiency are limited and very few have addressed this phenomenon at inter-organizational level particularly in a tourism destination context. We aim to address this gap by providing a conceptual model to extend research knowledge in this area. Drawing on social capital theory and knowledge management constructs, the model incorporates four pivotal dimensions: ‘structural,’ ‘relational,’ ‘organizational,’ and ‘knowledge’ properties, identified as effective antecedents of knowledge transfer through prior research. The proposed model is designed to be practically applicable and measurable in a tourism destination and includes a measurement approach based on a network perspective. The benefits of using such a model include a comparison between destinations, and the opportunity to illuminate the restraints within a specific destination for subsequent strategic management action.

建立衡量旅游目的地组织间知识转移效率的模型


旅游业依靠目的地层面的知识转移来实现创新和竞争力，但知识管理实践的缓慢采用阻碍了潜在收益。关于知识转移及其效率的学术研究有限，很少有人在组织间层面特别是在旅游目的地背景下解决这一现象。我们的目标是通过提供概念模型来扩展该领域的研究知识来解决这一差距。该模型借鉴社会资本理论和知识管理结构，纳入了四个关键维度：“结构”、“关系”、“组织”和“知识”属性，通过先前的研究将其确定为知识转移的有效前提。所提出的模型旨在在旅游目的地中实际适用和可测量，并包括基于网络视角的测量方法。使用这种模型的好处包括目的地之间的比较，以及有机会阐明特定目的地内的限制因素，以便采取后续的战略管理行动。
