在當今迅速變化的市場和不斷變化的技術，更加突出了創新組織的重點放在創新上，以保持和提升組織的競爭優勢。以往企業所意識到用以創造利潤與保持競爭優勢的關鍵，已經從過去有形的資產，轉變為「知識」作為一個主要的競爭資源與手段。因此我們可以合理的認為，現代企業競爭優勢的來源，絕大部分來自於組織成員的能力，而組織成員的能力則立基於知識的運用。過去的大多數研究都是將焦點放在加強知識移轉的正面因素上，而本研究則是將焦點著重在會妨礙知識移轉的負面因素上。
本研究目的是從知識特性的觀點出發，探討知識黏滯性、知識模糊性與知識移轉之間的關係，資訊溝通科技其對知識黏滯性、知識模糊性與知識移轉之間關係的調節效果，以及知識移轉與創新競爭優勢之間的關係。
本研究研究範圍是選擇需要專業知識的醫療產業，並以在中大型醫院工作的醫生作為問卷的受測對象，透過階層迴歸分析試圖了解知識黏滯性、知識模糊性與知識移轉之間的關係，資訊溝通科技其對知識黏滯性、知識模糊性與知識移轉之間關係的調節效果，以及知識移轉與創新競爭優勢之間的關係。
研究結果發現知識黏滯性、知識模糊性與知識移轉之間是存在負向的影響關係，但是知識黏滯性卻不是相當顯著的負向影響知識移轉。而不同資訊溝通科技的應用對知識黏滯性、知識模糊性與知識移轉之間負向影響是有不同程度的削弱效果，以及知識移轉與創新競爭優勢之間是存在相當顯著的正向影響關係。
本研究結果找出了能夠削弱知識黏滯性、知識模糊性負向影響的工具，可以幫助醫院能更有效率的進行知識移轉與知識管理的工作，並能提升醫院的創新競爭優勢。不論在哪一個產業，知識已變成主要競爭資源與手段之一，而本研究結果也不僅僅只是用於醫院，同樣的也可以應用在其他更多不同但同樣有著專業知識的產業。

In the Today's rapidly changing market and changing technology, even more pronounced by the organization's emphasis on innovation to maintain and enhance competitive edge in innovation organizations. The past, the key that companies used to create profits and to maintain competitive advantage, Tangible assets has been changed into "knowledge" as a major resource and means of competition. Therefore, we can reasonably believe that the source of competitive advantage of modern enterprise, the majority from the capacity of members, but members of the capacity to establish a knowledge-based application. Most past research are focused on strengthening the positive factors of knowledge transfer, and sucked the focus of this study focused on knowledge transfer will prevent the negative factors.
Purpose of this study is from the perspective of knowledge characteristics, discussion the relationship between knowledge stickiness, knowledge ambiguity and knowledge transfer, the relationship about moderating of ICT on knowledge stickiness, knowledge ambiguity to knowledge transfer, and the relationship between knowledge transfer and innovation competitive advantage.
Research scope of this study is to select the health care industry with expertise, and to work in a large hospital doctor as the object under test questionnaire. This study wants to through the hierarchical regression analysis try to understand the relationship between knowledge stickiness, knowledge ambiguity to knowledge transfer, the relationship about moderating of ICT on knowledge stickiness, knowledge ambiguity to knowledge transfer, and the relationship between knowledge transfer and innovation competitive advantage.
The result of this study showed the impact of negative relations that exists between knowledge stickiness, knowledge transfer and knowledge ambiguity, but knowledge stickiness is not very significant negative impact to knowledge transfer. The application of different information communication technology have different levels of the weakening effects on the negative impact between knowledge stickiness, knowledge transfer and knowledge ambiguity, as well as the very significant positive effect relationship exists between knowledge transfer and innovation competitive advantage.
This study identified the tool which could reduce the negative impact of the knowledge stickiness, knowledge ambiguity to help hospitals can more efficiently carry out the knowledge transfer and the knowledge management work, and to enhance the hospital's innovative competitive advantage. Whether in which industry, the knowledge has become one of resources and means for the main competition, and the results of this study is not just for the hospital, the same should also be applied in other different but also have one more expertise in the industry.
