By writing this paper we tried to illustrate the practical difference between KM initiatives in R&D and industry. However, the overlapping of the approaches at some certain stages are visible. The information management has been considered as an essential part of the knowledge management in both of organizations. The capture of the critical knowledge in both organizations remains a main issue even if the selected methods are different. The coaching & mentoring program which are well implemented at the IRE (HZDR), are may be difficult to realize/accomplish at the BGE. However, the pilot coaching program is planned at the BGE, but currently not available due to the “young” founding date in 2017. One of the main concerns of the BGE as an implementer, is the motivation and encouragement of all employees to share and distribute their knowledge and benefit from each other.

This paper aims to establish the state-of-the-art of causal link between knowledge management practices and organizational innovation.

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 posters that focuses on real world digital projects and scenarios.

Presentation paper for the 2017 International Conference on Knowledge Management. This paper studies information seeking behavior among law students including: how previous literacy training before and during law school, law student gender, where one attends law school, year in law school, and previously obtained education affects law students' selection of information sources, their understanding of common knowledge, and their decision of whether or not to give attribution to these sources.

Using technology and e-publication formats, Mobilizing Computable Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK) aims to promote learning health services and reduce time to get healthcare products to patients. This paper summarizes developing a community of practice (CoP) experts, providing educational activities, and plans for sustainable Open Educational Resource (OER) materials online as funded by an IMLS grant.* Activities were part of a pilot training for 20 knowledge managers, students and professionals in Library and Information Science (LIS) in December, 2021. The educational goal is to introduce MCBK concepts globally and and to promote KM and LIS leadership in designing healthcare repositories and accessing information. Beyond text and graphics, CBK publications provide encodable prediction models and computable information in electronic media. It is “dynamic knowledge” in open access formats. Such computable knowledge allows readers to evaluate and validate data or tools that may, for example, compute a risk score for infection. Analysis and review by e-journal readers may reduce time to implementation in healthcare systems or K2P (knowledge to performance) from years with traditional peer- reviewed publications to months using electronic, open access. The summaries and exercises in this paper are from presentations during the pilot training, which were assessed and recommended by student …

Business competition increasingly involves entire supply chains (SCs) rather than individual firms. Thus, knowledge, which is a strategic resource for companies, needs to be managed properly not only in single firms, but also at inter-firm level and in SCs, so that companies can coordinate and co-manage resources, activities, and innovative efforts in collaboration with their partners for improved competitiveness. To this end, knowledge management (KM) practices and their adoption for the effective management of SC inter-firm relationships can be of great help, but the current studies on this aspect are very fragmented, and there is still insufficient knowledge of what practices are adopted to manage knowledge in inter-firm relationships and how intensely these are used. This study contributes to filling this gap by measuring the adoption and intensity of KM practices and comparing their use at the intra- and inter-firm level. A survey of a sample of European large and medium-sized manufacturing firms was used. A descriptive statistical analysis and a correlation analysis were performed on the collected data. The study confirms that KM practices are less used at the inter-firm level. Also, a relative higher variation is depicted among firms in the use of the proposed practices at inter-firm …

Teen birth (TB) imposes serious health and economic burdens to both individuals and government. Various attempts have been made to overcome TB such as teen pregnancy prevention evidence-based programs. However, these programs might have declined teen birth rate (TBR), most of which do not address the influencing socio-economic factors linked to areas where teenagers live. This study is aimed at investigating socio-economic factors contributing to TB and identify their geographical disparities. The methodology was developed using the vulnerability theory to examine the complex relationship between TB and socio-economic factors. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) were employed to analyze census data. Findings suggest that socio-economically disadvantaged minorities, including unemployed black and uneducated Hispanic, are more vulnerable to TB. Additionally, geographic locations of communities where such teenager live are recognized. The outcomes verified the utility of the vulnerability theory to predict the geographical locations of vulnerable teens that can be leveraged by policymakers to allocate more health resources and perform place-specific interventions to effectively reduce TBR.

This paper seeks to identify factors that contribute to improving the way the Asian Development Bank (ADB) understands and responds to the knowledge needs of its developing member countries (DMCs). The COVID-19 pandemic and continuing uncertainties highlighted the importance of knowledge management in helping governments in DMCs make well-informed decisions to respond to the crisis and work for recovery. As ADB’s DMCs are at various stages of development, it is essential to identify, differentiate and manage knowledge that can advance these countries to achieve development objectives and part of that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ADB’s Strategy 2030 aims to strengthen its country-focused approach using the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) as the main platform to provide lending and knowledge to its DMCs. An important part of the CPS is the country knowledge plan (CKP) that outlines how ADB is supporting the country’s knowledge needs over the CPS period. This paper discusses the significant enhancements introduced to make the CKP process ‘dynamic’, client-driven while supporting national knowledge agendas. From ADB’s perspective, knowledge is an investment and an asset, and it is important to ensure that its DMCs are getting the most return from this capital.

Developing, implementing, and managing metadata is crucial to successful knowledge management, and academic libraries have traditionally played a central role in these activities. The Arabian Gulf countries are underrepresented in the existing research into library metadata practices. This exploratory study used semi-structured interviews of metadata managers at 8 universities with the goal of developing understanding of the current state of metadata practices, including descriptive cataloging, identity management, and knowledge organization in academic libraries of three Arabian Gulf countries (Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar), as well as potential future developments to facilitate discovery of resources. Findings provide insights into this previously under-researched area and contribute to understanding of knowledge management and risks on a global scale.
