Abstract
An organizational mechanism instituted at a research/development center to facilitate the transfer of technological information to field operating units is analyzed in an attempt to measure its effectiveness. The evaluation is based on a model derived to quantify the benefits of the information transferred to end users. In addition, other organizational parameters of the users and suppliers of information is evaluated to determine an optimal configuration to maximize the effectiveness of the transfer mechanism.
