Human Knowledge Problems, Knowledge Activities, and the Activities’ Effects (open access)

Human Knowledge Problems, Knowledge Activities, and the Activities’ Effects

Knowledge is the central component of knowledge management (KM); it comes into existence, is managed, and has effects through the activities performed upon it and the results of those activities. Much of the foundational KM literature identifies and classifies these activities (Baskerville, Dulipovici, 2006; Becerra-Fernandez, 2005; Evans, Ali, 2013; Evans, Dalkir, Bidian, 2014; Girard, Girard, 2015; Pee, Kankanhalli, 2009; Mohajan, 2016; Sajeva, 2010). We propose an extension of these activity classifications.

Innovation Indicators for Companies: A  Systematic Review (open access)

Innovation Indicators for Companies: A Systematic Review

This paper aims to compile organizational innovation management indicators of papers that included some empirical step in the research and were published in the last 5 years (2015-2019). Based on PRISMA protocol, a systematic review was conducted and 356 indicators were extracted. They were categorized in 11 dimensions, following Dziallas & Blind (2019) previous literature research. The results make it possible to update the studies of innovation indicators at the organizational-level, filling an existing time gap in the research field. As for future research, we recommend the unification of similar indicators, the establishment of objective criteria for indicators categorization, and the development of an innovation indicator framework containing relevant indicators based on scholars’ and practitioners’ opinions, their description and measurement/evaluation methods.

Intellectual Capital Creates Value for the Organization - What About Other Stakeholders? (open access)

Intellectual Capital Creates Value for the Organization - What About Other Stakeholders?

The ever-increasing market turbulence has turned today’s corporate landscape more competitive and complex. Particularly during the last two decades, the increased utilization of ICT systems and technologies globally transformed the services sector in terms of ease of business processes and improved client service delivery. However, in the current knowledge-based era, ICT-enabled systems and tools would only be meaningful if these are appropriately utilized by the knowledgeable and skilled workforce. However, leveraging these necessitates a knowledge-enabled work culture and recognizing that people are crucial to building a robust Intellectual Capital (IC) that is central to achieving long-term market competitiveness. IC comprising of intangible assets and knowledge resources is central to value creation for the firm as evident from the growth of the knowledge-based industries. Nevertheless, the true potential of IC for deriving value advantage for diverse organizational stakeholders has not been fully utilized. Hence, by conducting 12 face2face interviews with the senior executives within Australian Professional Service Firms (PSFs), this study offers renewed approach to IC valuation by introducing ‘Triple Value Bottom-line’ perspective in PSFs. The results highlight that the IC offers enormous potential towards deriving broader value outcomes for multiple organizational stakeholders.

The Impact of Cognitive Styles on Different Stages of Knowledge Management Cycle (open access)

The Impact of Cognitive Styles on Different Stages of Knowledge Management Cycle

While explicit knowledge can be to some extent separated from human brain and stored in organizational memory, tacit knowledge cannot be detached from the individuals who possess it, therefore its management cannot rely primarily on technologies. This calls for knowledge-worker centered approach. Individuals with different cognitive styles process information differently and use a variety of reasoning patterns for decision making and building their personal knowledge bases. The paper overviews the potential applications of the construct of cognitive style to managerial practice in knowledge intensive organizations. It also presents a model that can help visualize the relationships between different cognitive styles and knowledge management processes. The model also demonstrates how such cognitive dimensions manifest themselves at different stages of KM cycle.
