Outline of Final Research Achievements

I conducted research on the "micro-foundations" characterizing the transfer and sharing of knowledge from the perspectives of human interactions and decision-making. Using the framework of game theory, I worked on constructing theoretical models to address this issue from both non-cooperative and cooperative approaches. For the former, I modeled situations where knowledge about decision-making is unevenly distributed and analyzed the equilibrium concepts and possible forms of communication in such scenarios. For the latter, I analyzed the formation of coalitions and the distribution of gains when knowledge sharing is regarded as cooperative behavior.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

経営学において、知識マネジメントの研究が盛んになされているが、その「ミクロ的基礎」に関する研究は不十分であった。本研究はそのある側面に関して理論的基礎を提供するものである。また、構築、分析した理論モデルは、ゲーム理論の研究としても新規性、理論的な貢献を有するものであり、いくつかの成果はこの分野で定評のある論文誌に掲載された。
