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.

Engineering offices are knowledge companies. Systematically maintaining and developing the existing knowledge in and as a company is therefore an essential task of corporate management. Knowledge management at ZM-I includes a training system (ZM-I Campus), a digital knowledge database (intranet) and workshops. For a systematic analysis and evaluation of the company's intellectual capital, a bi-annual certified intellectual capital report is carried out. For this purpose, employees from all divisions and locations come together to systematically analyse and evaluate the intellectual capital in the company. The intellectual capital statement is thus a fundamental management tool at ZM-I. ZM-I is an independent, medium-sized civil engineering company organised as a partnership for demanding projects. Based in Munich, the group has grown continuously and is now active throughout Germany. As a structural engineering company with a focus on statics, ZM-I offers consulting, planning, testing and assessment services in the field of civil engineering.

Understanding trends is helpful to identify future behaviors in the field, and the roles of people, places, and institutions in setting those trends. Although traditional clustering strategies can group articles into topics, these techniques do not focus on topics over limited timescales; additionally, even when articles are grouped, the generated results are extensive and difficult to navigate. To address these concerns, we create an interactive dashboard that helps an expert in the field to better understand and quantify trends in their area of research. Trend detection is performed using the time-biased document clustering introduced in Behpour et al. (2021) study. The developed and freely available web application enables users to detect well defined trending topics in financial journals by experimenting with various levels of temporal bias - from detecting short-timescale trends to allowing those trends to spread over longer times. Experts can readily drill down into the identified topics to understand their meaning through keywords, example articles, and time range. Overall, the interactive dashboard will allow experts in the field to sift through the vast literature to identify the concepts, people, places, and institutions most critical to the field.

In an increasingly interconnected world, there is a need to prepare students to become more knowledgeable of different cultures and global matters. Furthermore, in a time which is characterized by disinformation, information literacy becomes more important than ever before. By taking into account transnational perspectives in learning these topics, e-learning provides us with the opportunity to connect students who otherwise would not have the chance to meet and get into knowledge related discourse with each other. In this context, the project „Intercultural perspectives on Information Literacy“ (IPIL) aims to realize a transnational learning community in which students from different countries engage in knowledge building discourse to foster intercultural learning and information literacy. The first IPIL course was conducted in winter term 2019/2020. Since then multiple transnational courses and workshops have been carried out. The last course took place in the winter semester 2021/2022. The didactical structure of IPIL follows a constructivist socio-cultural approach of knowledge building and knowledge creation in which learners from different higher education institutions with diverse cultural backgrounds engage in learning related discourse on topics related to information literacy. To enable such learning, the learning environment is structured into three levels (community, learning cycles, group learning task) …

This presentation deals with motivational ideas and initiatives for knowledge sharing in the field of tax and legal consulting. Sharing knowledge at all levels and in all formats is often difficult or even impossible due to the need to respect confidentiality and data protection laws. However, the example of PwC Switzerland shows how it is still possible to be a knowledge organization, to create a lively and popular exchange between employees and not to reinvent the wheel every day. We will also shed light on what a well-positioned knowledge management can enable in a crisis situation and how it has moved from behind the scenes to the stage. PwC Switzerland is the leading audit and advisory company in Switzerland. We’re a network of firms in 156 countries with over 295,000 people who are committed to delivering quality in assurance, advisory and tax services. PwC Switzerland has over 3,380 employees and partners in 14 locations in Switzerland and one in the Principality of Liechtenstein.

In project-based organizations, knowledge management is becoming a cornerstone of their operation. Of particular importance in acquiring valuable and useful for employees, as well as for the whole organization, is one of the processes of its conversion – externalization. It is important that during the implementation of subsequent projects, valuable resources such as knowledge, skills and experience acquired by employees are not lost, but that employees externalize them. The purpose of this article is to seek an answer to the research problem posed, concerning the course and methods of knowledge externalization in project activities and ways of knowledge externalization in the process of building project knowledge management systems in public organizations.

Knowledge Management Best Practices are established through leveraged Data Science Technique based on results found on published articles of reputed literature and both advertisements and news items of newspapers. Further, the recognition showed threats to the values of Higher Education such as the quality of courses. As such, a Postgraduate study is conducted to reveal a solution to those kinds of issues in Higher Education. Consequently, based on the proposal of literature to such issues in other contexts, existences of Knowledge Management Practices are revealed in the qualitative paradigm. Meanwhile, the present study questioned whether the confirmed Practices of the Postgraduate study are Best Practices of Higher Educational Institutes. Besides, the Oxford dictionary specifies that practice becomes Best Practice if “commercial or professional procedures that are accepted or prescribed as being correct or most effective”. Accordingly, confirmed practices of Higher Educational Institutes became Best Practices due to the practices that are accepted by the industry of the Postgraduate research through a qualitative paradigm and by the other industries of researches that those reputed publications concerned into the Postgraduate study. Besides, Knowledge Management is an emerging/ emerged era. As such, present research proposes resulting practices of the Postgraduate study as Based …

In 2018, voestalpine High Performance Metals decided to significantly invest in Knowledge Management to foster their strategy to expand into new markets. After conducting a thorough global feasibility study involving different stakeholders at multiple locations, a hybrid KM strategy was proposed creating networks of experts and identifying valuable content for re-use supported by a KM Service Portfolio. Members of pilot “communities of Practice” (CoP) were involved in the co-design of KM Services and testing of IT platforms. Once the global IT platform was established, the global roll-out of the CoP’s started. Simultaneously, a global governance structure was designed and implemented as well as a 3-tier measurement approach conceptualized and tested. Today, CoP’s focusing on different topics, are conducting dozens of meetings every month and have identified about a thousand documents to be accessed via their electronic “home base” on Sharepoint. A training program to raise awareness and enable understanding of KM has been initiated on a global scale. The implementation of the KM board brought an important boost in participation and professionalism. To further foster and sustain the world-wide participation in the knowledge-network is the challenge we are facing until knowledge management has become an integral undisputed part of the …

The purpose of this research is to explore concept maps as a viable and effective knowledge management tool for cybersecurity education. Concept maps serve as a visual representation of knowledge. They are commonly utilized to support the teaching and learning process or as a student learning evaluation tool. While the focus of education research is on tools specific to cybersecurity such as learning management systems and cyber ranges, there is little dedicated to understanding how concept maps can be applied as an effective element within the security education. This paper reviews relevant research related to the applications of concept maps in diverse knowledge domains. The aim is to leverage previous research applications to garner support for concept maps as a useful knowledge management tool in cybersecurity. This is accomplished by highlighting successful applications of concept maps in related fields. Concept maps are poised to be extremely helpful with complex subjects such as information and cyber security where understanding the subject depends on the application of disparate but interrelated concepts.
