Multi-agent Simulation Research on Knowledge Management Strategies of R&D Enterprises

In the background of transformation and upgrading of China´s economy, this article builds a kind of model for R&D Enterprises based on multi-agent modeling technique, and by simulating the effects of different project group sizes on achievement of enterprise mission and capital cost control, the knowledge management strategies for the model enterprise are suggested. The main findings include that a R&D enterprise should pay more attention to its capital position at its early stage, and viable strategies include enlarging the size of each project group to a reasonable extent, facilitating project progress while accumulating tacit knowledge; when the enterprise enters into its development stage, it should concentrate on knowledge sharing activities among employees, and viable strategies include building a culture where knowledge sharing is encouraged, and reducing the size of project groups.
