[2] Argote has courtesy appointments at the Heinz College and the Department of Social and Decision Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University.
Her research involves how groups and organizations learn, how they retain the knowledge that they acquire and how they transfer it within and between organizational units.
[10] In collaboration with Paul Ingram, Argote developed the implications of knowledge transfer, or learning from the experience of others, for firm competitive advantage.
Argote and Ren (2012)[16] developed a framework characterizing how transactive memory provides micro foundations for dynamic capabilities in firms.
These factors include communication networks,[17] work group structure,[18] member turnover,[19] social identity,[20] and emotion.
Argote, Lee and Park (2021)[24] reviewed the literature on organizational learning and its subprocesses of search and knowledge creation, retention and transfer.
Argote synthesized her work and related research in Organizational Learning: Creating, Retaining and Transferring Knowledge (Kluwer, 1999; 2nd ed, Springer, 2013).
