Abstract

We investigate three aspects of collaborative learning in uncertain environments - aversion to exploration, structure of the collaborative network, and strategic policy. In uncertain environments, these three aspects are likely to operate simultaneously whereas previous research at best has focussed on two, if not one, of these aspects. This paper introduces our research effort to study phenomena of learning under these circumstances. We propose a model of the three aspects of learning and conduct a simulation experiment using this model to analyse the effect of the three variables on learning performance and knowledge development.
