“…Although new members often bring new perspectives, the new perspectives may not be welcomed or respected, leading the newcomers to be overlooked or to feel intimidated (Rink & Ellemers 2015). Newcomers are more likely to be included and heeded if there is a clear shared identity linking the original team and the new member (Kane 2010). …”

The past 40 years of psychological research on decision making has identified a number of important cognitive biases. However, the psychological study of decision making tends to focus on individuals making decisions in isolation. This article explores the social context of individual decision making by considering three lenses: individual contributions in social decision processes, individuals as social products, and individuals as sources of social preferences. The social context of decision making both improves decision making by allowing diverse knowledge to be pooled and creates shared perspectives-including shared blind spots. The article offers conjectures on managerial insight about social settings that can inform future research.

“…Information Systems literature highlights the importance of the practical usefulness of the knowledge being shared in achieving innovative and collaborative solutions in multiparty software development teams (Levina, 2005). Similarly, Knowledge Transfer literature views successful knowledge sharing through the lens of the internalization approach (Kane, 2010). Accordingly, knowledge transfer requires both the transmission of the knowledge from the source agent, and its internalization/ learning by the recipient agent (Joshi et al, 2007).…”

“…In addition, it was shown that the motivational considerations of knowledge providers and recipients impacted the way they transferred and used knowledge in a simulated environment [40]. Finally, in an experimental study, it was found that knowledge demonstrability and the similarity of the social identities of the knowledge providers and recipients facilitated knowledge transfer and usage [25].…”

“…Both the academic and practical importance of knowledge application contexts has long been recognized in the literature [1]. In fact, it was noted that hindrance to knowledge transfer and application (i.e., task closure) in knowledge sharing largely stems from the circumstances surrounding the knowledge recipients [25]. Software development takes place in a multidimensional context, while software developers need to focus on their software development tasks (i.e., task context), they need to constantly interact with their supervisors (i.e., social context), and perform their tasks within a larger institutional setting with both implicit and explicit rules, standards, documents, and metrics (i.e., institutional context).…”
