Brazilian scientific and technological research in the space area covers a diversity of themes so that its results are applied in several areas, such as earth observation, fire control, climate change, telecommunications, and security, among others. By providing useful products and services for society, economy, and industry, one perceives its relevance and the need to improve Brazil's space research. Thus, given its social and economic importance, this project aims to structure, based on scientific and situated knowledge, a framework that could help to mitigate the knowledge risks identified in the diverse types of organizations and sectors that are part of the Brazilian Space Program. This work in progress will try to address this problem by providing a methodological framework based on Knowledge Governance tools and it is intended to homogenize and mitigate the knowledge risks identified in the diverse types of organizations that are part of the Brazilian Space sector. The methodological approach to be used in the research will be predominantly qualitative, with possible quantitative treatment when analyzing the collected data used to develop the framework. This paper identify, analyze and catalogue, based on the distinct categories found in the literature, the types of knowledge risks observed in organizations …

Precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that considers individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. Big data analytics (BDA) using cutting-edge technologies helps to design models that can diagnose, treat and predict diseases. In Ethiopia, healthcare service delivery faces many challenges specifically in relation to prescribing the right medicine to the right patient at the right time. Thus, patients face challenges ranging from staying on treatment plans longer, and then leaving treatment, and finally dying of complications. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore the trends, challenges, and opportunities of applying BDA in precision medicine globally and take lessons for Ethiopia through a systematic literature review of 19 peer reviewed articles from five databases. The findings indicated that cancer in general, epilepsy, and systemic diseases altogether are areas currently getting big attention. The challenges are attributed to the nature of health data, failure in collaboration for data sharing, ethical and legal issues, interoperability of systems, poor knowledge skills and culture, and poor infrastructure. Development of modern technologies, experimental technologies and methods, cloud computing, Internet of Things, social networks and Ethiopia’s government initiative to promote private technological firms could be an …

A number of common themes are identified, while highlighting the need for further research into the importance of creativity in knowledge management.

Automotive industries in the developed world have strived to improve performance and productivity by incorporating Knowledge Management (KM) practices in their manufacturing processes. This has been attributed to the use of upgraded technological capabilities in the acquisition, sharing, and retention of organizational knowledge. Literature has unpacked that as much as automotive industries need Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in their KM strategy, they should also include aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to facilitate and share knowledge (Wisskirchen et al., 2017; Calitz, Poisat & Cullen, 2017; Cronin, Conway & Walsh, 2019). More so, they recognised the limitations of ICTs concerning the management of tacit knowledge, which is intangible and difficult to share, as it plays a crucial role in the KM process. Despite the interest of many authors towards KM in automotive industries, there is a lack of studies aimed at investigating AI as a KM enabler in the South African automotive industry. This is a relevant issue as knowledge in the automotive industries tends to manifest itself tacitly. This realization has spawned a growing interest in incorporating advanced technologies like artificial intelligence into KM practices to overcome knowledge loss and bringing in innovation in automotive industries. It is against this backdrop; …

The dynamics proposed by the information and communication technologies enter economic sectors and require new behaviors. Digital Agriculture is a way to adapt to the new scenario. However, the modernization movement requires that views on agricultural industries be compensated.

Blended learning (BL) assimilates the best digital high-tech learning and traditional methods that involve students in network learning transcending physical boundaries. It has been embraced as a possibility so that knowledge can be distributed through time and space. KM-based approaches may be used to collect, coordinate, and transmit intelligence to control processes that can be utilized efficiently to recognize and share the most important details to address customer needs. This study aims to explain how to apply KM techniques in the BL environment to increase educational excellence and quality during pandemic situations. The specific consequences of BL actions are also stated in this paper. The quantitative approach was used in this study by using an electronic questionnaire from the students of the department of ISLM of the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Among the 272 students in the undergraduate program, 74 students replied to the online survey questionnaire. The gathered data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. The Findings of the study showed that KM can be used with BL during the COVID-19 pandemic, including integrated tasks, classroom instruction, online and e-learning. Finally, the study also proposed an intuitive model for applying BL through KM.

The 17th International Conference on Knowledge Management was held in the historic city of Potsdam, Germany. Since the conference was among the first post-pandemic face to face conferences, the overall theme of the 17th edition of the ICKM conference rightly focused on “Knowledge, Uncertainty and Risks: From individual to global scale” at different levels of analysis and agency. This document highlighted one of the panels and the panelists argue that open access to scholarly knowledge production should be the modus operandi in the time and age we live in. Open access to knowledge is critical not just to accelerate advances in finding solutions to societal issues, but also to meet the growing expectations around higher education institutions’ social responsibilities in times of uncertainties.

It is understood that Social Innovation (SI) is at the service of society, building a positive social value. Collaborative governance favors the government, with characteristics for a better form of applicability of its theories. Therefore, this article aims to identify how collaborative governance and social innovation collaborate for better governance in the public sector.

To provide solutions to the world’s global challenges, there is an urgent demand for wise organizations, wise leadership, wise workers, and most importantly, for wise actions. Since the mid- 1990s, Knowledge Management (KM) as a discipline and practice has emerged internationally and it went through several phases of development. Similarly, in the last four decades, we experience a growth in wisdom research, and in intense discourses about Wisdom Management (WM) as a possible venue for dealing with wicked problems. The dilemma is, whether the present phase of KM would be able to address the global problems of the world. Therefore, this paper seeks to answer the question if WM will complement or replace KM. The purpose is to compare KM and WM. The research methodology is an explorative approach of their main characteristics and concepts in a selected range of literature. The findings are presented in a framework to show the similarities and differences of KM and WM. Keywords: Knowledge Management (KM), Wisdom Management (WM), phases of KM, wisdom economy, wise leaders, wisdom workers, global problems of the world.

Corporate universities make up a strategic umbrella for developing the organizational ecosystem with a high impact on business goals. A mature organization in educational activities necessarily creates lasting and sustainable mechanisms for human and organizational development. Thus, we sought to identify the maturity level of a corporate education system and the necessary actions for its evolution based on the Kraemer model (2018).

Emerged in the early 1990’s, governance is a construct which enables to broaden the management focus to a more comprehensive view, assessing efficiency capacity from different perspectives, such as social and political. Among its applications, Corporate Governance is the most known. In the private sector, governance has become a mandatory practice for companies aiming at increasing their market value or maintaining it high, due to the credibility earned by companies with good governance practices. In the public sector governance is a major challenge, once it concerns itself with generating value for society, in addition to the need for transparency and credibility in the management of public affairs. In this context, the objective of this article is to identify the differences and similarities between Corporate Governance in Private Companies and Public Administration.

The pandemic of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) has presented us a new world-wide reality. In a short time, huge changes had been necessary. In the sanitation it has not been different. For handle with essential services, in the majority through public concessions, the rendering of services has been strongly influenced for the chaotic economic situation, the necessity of cares with the health of the employees and for governmental decisions that restrict some activities. Thus, risk management becomes an increasingly urgent need, as the impacts of wrong decisions can lead to huge losses. Starting from the hypothesis that the better risk management within organizations, the better the decision-making process will be, this article aims to present the importance of risk management for mitigation and contingency in the face of the impacts caused by the pandemic of COVID-19.

Disinformation and misinformation are pervasive in unregulated social-media environments, which are used habitually for obtaining news. Fenn et al in 2019 stated that “Given that people tend to share interesting information to maintain social relationships or to manage their impressions, information that receives more likes may subsequently be shared more often” (Fenn, Ramsay, Kantner, Pezdek, & Abed, 2019, p.133) Recent studies also revealed that misinformation from politicians and celebrities has increased in recent years which lead to more engagement on Twitter (Brennen, et al. 2020 ). There has been a lot of misinformation pertaining to COVID-19 masks on Twitter. Due to the misinformation, many people might not believe in the effectiveness of masks. Even though studies have shown the effectiveness of wearing masks in different countries (Lyu and Wehby, 2020). Not wearing masks affects people's health and indirectly increases the spread of COVID-19. Studies of social noise and misinformation cases on social media are needed, specifically focusing on how social noise influences and contributes to the spread of misleading and possibly harmful messages.

The research seeks to know if the COVID-19 pandemic has created culture change by measuring the criteria of work outputs and actions of organization members. As a part of this research, a survey was developed to identify how and to what extent workplace culture has been impacted. 111 professional services staff from a North Texas business were surveyed. We identified three factors for criteria of work outputs and behavior that indicates the current level of change of the culture. The three factors are identified as, Expectations (α= 0.786), Accuracy (α= 0.603), and Timeliness (α= 0.552). Factor analysis and descriptive statistics are used to analyze the result from the survey.

Identifying support from Knowledge Management (KM) frameworks and Risk Management to build collective intelligence for handling systemic crises, triggered by the Corona virus disease 2019 (Covid-19)

Successful organizations are continuously looking for better ways to improve efficiency. Knowledge management (KM) in institutions is essentially based on an understanding of knowledge creation and knowledge transfer. At Tarrant County College, we are currently developing a District-wide knowledge management (KM) program. This KM process is implemented via micro pilot projects and processes; and an analysis of current technology, structure, and culture. We carefully try to anticipate challenges we will encounter as the project is executed (geographical distance during a pandemic, cultural barriers, dealing with tacit knowledge…). Next, we carefully begin to create a road map for the KM process including: Establishing objectives, preparing culture change, creating a high-level process, identifying KM/communication/knowledge dissemination gaps, selecting appropriate technology, and deciphering the current status of KM throughout the District. Then, we attempt to implement our KM process via micro pilot projects. We will soon develop methods for evaluating our KM workflow. Our initial results suggest Laserfiche might be able to host 70% of or data and information, however other tools such as ITSM, Microsoft TEAMS, Team Dynamics… will also be needed to host data and information.

WeChat group-based online medical community (WGMC) is increasingly accepted by the public because of its high efficiency, convenience, and shared advantages in seeking medical resources. However, the problem to separate a complete dialogue relationship from the chat records is arising because efficient online community management is based on clear dialogue relationships and clear topics. To solve the problem, we proposed a hybrid three-stages BERT method to recognize the dialogue relationships in "Home of Love" --- a central nervous system tumor online healthy community WeChat group. First, based on the social support theory, a multi-layer BiLSTM model is proposed to classify the conversation scenes into five classes. Then, two domain adaptation methods for transfer learning are designed to optimize the BERT pre-training model for specific tasks using the "Haodaifu" as the training corpus. Finally, a hybrid BERT method based on the text scene information and the pre-training model is proposed to recognize the dialogue relationships, and its feasibility is verified by manual labeling. The results show that adding more prior knowledge to the dialogue recognition model by extracting the social support scene information can effectively improve the classification ability and stability of the model.

The 17th International Conference on Knowledge Management was held in the historic city of Potsdam, Germany. Since the conference was among the first post-pandemic face to face conferences, the overall theme of the 17th edition of the ICKM conference rightly focused on “Knowledge, Uncertainty and Risks: From individual to global scale” at different levels of analysis and agency. This poster highlights the qualitative study which was conducted in a major regional hospital in Germany, using the FRAM to analyze the recurrent and complex process of surgical care preparation in the morning. The aim was to offer the hospital a detailed qualitative analysis to promote resilience and maintain a safe state of operating during this process. The FRAM illustrated relevant system functions and unveiled sources as well as effects or variabilities that are now in the process of being evaluated according to appropriate goals and values. In this way, the FRAM illuminates hidden but relevant knowledge, so to speak tacit knowledge, within a complex sociotechnical system that is difficult or impossible to identify otherwise.

Risk management is generally characterized by identification, assessment, and mitigation. In the literature on knowledge risk management (KRM), there appears to be much emphasis on taxonomies - which primarily focus on identification - and mitigation strategies, without particular attention to the evaluation phase of KRM. To address this gap, the present paper aims to systematically evaluate potential knowledge risks common at the operational level of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). More significantly, in SMEs, due to their flat structure, the majority of risk is borne by operational functions. This study adopts a quantitative approach by utilizing the grey-DEMATEL technique. The results of this study reveal outsourcing risks are the most critical of all operational knowledge risks followed by communication risks and improper knowledge application. Furthermore, it is observed the risks could be categorized into effect-risk (e.g. relational risk, espionage knowledge waste, continuity risk) and cause-risk (e.g. knowledge waste, risks related to knowledge gaps, risk of using obsolete/unreliable knowledge)
