This chapter examines the relationship between contextual variables, which serve as a standard of comparison, and the dependent variable knowledge-sharing occurrence. This chapter provides a point of reference for hypothesis testing conducted in chapter 6, where models are finalized and relationships among variables further explored. Descriptive statistics form the basis for analysis of relationships among variables in this chapter. Exploring the impact of individual baseline variables on the dichotomous variable—sharing of scientific know-how—is undertaken systematically. Figure 5.1 depicts the general classes for the variables of interest.
