Information sharing is the process of exchanging data, knowledge, or resources between individuals, groups, or organizations. This can involve sharing information across different departments within an organization, between different organizations, or with external stakeholders such as customers or partners. Information sharing is important for promoting collaboration, improving decision-making, and enhancing communication. It can help organizations streamline processes, reduce duplication of efforts, and facilitate innovation by leveraging the expertise and resources of others. Research in information sharing often focuses on understanding the mechanisms and barriers to effective sharing, developing tools and technologies to facilitate sharing, and evaluating the impacts of information sharing on organizations and individuals. This research area is interdisciplinary and draws on fields such as information science, computer science, psychology, and management.
