Transactive Memory and Its Application in IS Research

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Information Systems Theory

Part of the book series: Integrated Series in Information Systems ((ISIS,volume 29))

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the transactive memory (TM) ­literature, both general and within information system (IS) research. The objective of this chapter is to introduce the reader to TM and its applications in research, and to ­provide some practical knowledge on how TM can be incorporated into future research in IS. The chapter begins with a brief introduction to the concept of TM ­followed by an overview of TM studies to date. The focus is then narrowed to TM applications within IS research. The chapter concludes with information on TM measures and its nomological network to facilitate future research in this area.
