Annotation:Individuals working on inter-organizational projects have the unique challenge of simultaneously sharing and withholding information in cases where over-sharing is to the determent of the home organization. Past research applies rational, cognitive, and conversational perspectives for sharing enough information for a productive partnership without revealing knowledge not intended to be shared. This paper describes an emotional perspective labeled the interactive self-regulatory theory which factors in effects of time and individual emotions.

Barriers:
Carriers:
Segmenting knowledge into compartments and removing details makes application less apparent, and that helps protect valuable information from inadvertently being shared to a competitive disadvantage. Experimental study
Occurrences within the model: NtK 3.9, 4.1, 4.4 KTA 3.E
Tips:
The relative sensitivity of information changes over time as context shifts. Information may lose or gain sensitive status depending on its potential use.
