Key words: сompetence, knowledge, knowledge management, knowledge life cycle.

Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Application, and Innovation Towards the Ability to Adapt to Change

The objective of article is to provide important empirical evidence to support the role of individual knowledge management processes and separate innovation types within firms. Specifically, knowledge acquisition and knowledge application are analyzed and empirically tested in relation to product and process innovation as well as business performance. The results support the direct impact of product and process innovation on business performance. In addition, the results show the indirect effect of knowledge acquisition and knowledge application on firm business performance through product and process innovation. Although KM represents a complex concept of knowledge management in a firm and can contain more processes, this article confirms that KM processes individually contribute to the innovation and indirectly on business performance. Besides, it confirms mediating effect of innovation between both knowledge acquisition and knowledge application and organizational business performance. In addition, most of the similar studies have been focused on the developed Western countries.

Knowledge management process model

In the context of globalization and transformations, the knowledge potential management is an effective tool for increasing the effectiveness of organizations. The aim of the research is to study the procedural approach to the organization knowledge potential management, to distinguish the main knowledge management processes and to present suggestions on how to improve the knowledge management process model. The organization's knowledge potential in this study is defined, as the organization's resources and market opportunities, generating its knowledge potential, complexity and effective management of which create prerequisites for meeting the changing individual user needs, creating reciprocal value, uniqueness and leadership in the global marketplace. The conceptual knowledge management process model has been improved, based on the research. The first step in the model is the choice of a knowledge strategy, covering aspects of the formation and selection of strategic decision-making in knowledge potential management. The choice of an appropriate knowledge strategy brings to its implementation through a process of knowledge management cycle, consisting of knowledge acquisition, sharing, development, preservation and application of it. The knowledge management process model is completed with an evaluation of the knowledge strategy implementation.

Rationalizing a Personalized Conceptualization for the Digital Transition and Sustainability of Knowledge Management Using the SVIDT Method

The objective of a current design science research (DSR) undertaking is responding to the call for a decentralizing Knowledge Management (KM) revolution by conceptualizing a Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system. The rationale is rooted in today’s accelerating information abundance and lack of adequate tools which signify—in the author’s view—the presently emerging and most crucial barriers to individual and collective development. For validation, it employs prototyping and verifies its design decisions against DSR guidelines and KM-related methodologies and practices. For the latter purpose, this article employs the SVIDT methodology (Strengths, Vulnerability, and Intervention Assessment related to Digital Threats) by adopting a hindsight reverse-engineered logical perspective in order to present the line of reasoning from the proposed technologies back to the underlying motivations. Its focus is the sustainability of PKM systems, processes, and outcomes combined with SVIDT’s concerns with goals and environments, actors and affiliations, strengths and weaknesses, threat and intervention scenarios, and synergies and strategies. In following the SVIDT’s nine steps, the broad span of the Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) concept’s “wicked” problem space is presented. The results reaffirm the DSR concept of theory effectiveness in terms of the system’s utility and communication, and present the PKM concept and system as sustainable interventions to confront opportunity divides independent of space (e.g., developed/developing countries), time (e.g., study or career phase), discipline (e.g., natural or social science), or role (e.g., student, professional, or leader).

The Public Health Community Platform, Electronic Case Reporting, and the Digital Bridge.

At the intersection of new technology advancements, ever-changing health policy, and fiscal constraints, public health agencies seek to leverage modern technical innovations and benefit from a more comprehensive and cooperative approach to transforming public health, health care, and other data into action. State health agencies recognized a way to advance population health was to integrate public health with clinical health data through electronic infectious disease case reporting. The Public Health Community Platform (PHCP) concept of bidirectional data flow and knowledge management became the foundation to build a cloud-based system connecting electronic health records to public health data for a select initial set of notifiable conditions. With challenges faced and lessons learned, significant progress was made and the PHCP grew into the Digital Bridge, a national governance model for systems change, bringing together software vendors, public health, and health care. As the model and technology advance together, opportunities to advance future connectivity solutions for both health care and public health will emerge.

Управление знаниями в лесном комплексе путем формирования интеллектуальных матриц для синтеза патентоспособных решений

One of the reasons that domestic machine-building enterprises have lost the market to foreign companies - manufacturers of machinery for harvesting and deep processing of woody biomass is underestimation of the need to accelerate the synthesis and implementation of domestic innovations in forest sector. The most important place in the number of such innovations is occupied by patented technological and technical solutions. The determining factor in formation of knowledge bases and convenience of further work with them is correct structuring and visualization of information that constitutes their essence. One of the approaches to the formation of knowledge bases is compilation of "intellectual matrices" for the development of an object of technology. These matrices are formed taking into account valuation of technical equipment reached by the object for the considered period of time of technical level by analyzing the patent documentation and helping to identify its most strongly and poorly developed "sides", which in turn makes it possible to determine promising areas for improvement. The authors offer the concept of knowledge management in forest complex by forming "intelligent matrices" for the synthesis of patentable technological and technical solutions. The concept was tested at a number of facilities of forest complex technologies and equipment and confirmed by forming and protecting of several dozens of patents. The methodology of synthesizing patentable technical solutions with the construction of intelligent matrices is shown on the example of constructive and technological analysis of a harvester. It is established that a promising direction for improving the design of harvester is to improve technical and economic characteristics of its operation in processor mode. The essence of patented technical solutions consists in equipping the handle of manipulator with an additional working element that allows to separate individual logs from the stack, thus providing free space next to them for free gripping of jaws of harvester head.

Knowledge management evaluation in a service sector: the case of Central Bank of Iran

The level of knowledge management in the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) has been assessed in this paper. Nonaka and Takeuchi model have been used due to its broad applicability in the field, high capability of using information technology, and reasonable comprehensiveness for this purpose. Four specific variables, namely, socialisation, externalisation, composition and internalisation have been evaluated through a questionnaire in a 5-point Likert scale. The population of the study was selected from the professional staff members quite familiar with the knowledge management concepts within the CBI. Only 235 members were invited to fill in the same questionnaires and 213 members completed the distributed questionnaires. The average results of the data analysis were as follows: 2.22 for the process of socialisation, 2.36 for externalisation, 2.33 for combination, and 2.44 for internalisation. The results mean that the current level of such indices is lower than that for the CBI. The average for the knowledge management index is 2.34 and it means that the target community is conscious about the knowledge. Very strong and direct relationships were detected between the four variables of knowledge management.

Upravljanje znanjem u javnom sektoru - slučaj lokalne vlasti u Srbiji

Knowledge has become an increasingly important determinant of competitiveness for the local governments. The purpose of this paper was to explore the existence of knowledge management (KM) in Serbian local government (LG) and to identify and analyzes processes and infrastructure that supports KM practices. The paper consists of two parts; the first part covers comprehensive literature review that summarizes the existing research done on the subject of knowledge management in public sector in order to put research in context and to highlight the contribution of this paper to the existing body of knowledge. The second part consists of empirical research conducted to get a preview of the current state of the KM practice in Serbian local government. There were several important findings regarding KM practices in Serbian LGs identified in the study, i.e., public servants have a positive attitude toward KM concept; KM activities are mostly technology supported; KM is perceived as a management priority; there is not any formal attribution of responsibility for knowledge practice to executive staff, human resource unit or IT unit, neither any mention of knowledge capacity development in strategies or plans of LGs. Finally, the results of this research study provide valuable guidance for future research for both academics and practitioners.

Knowledge management (KM) is used essentially in HEAC (Higher Education Admissions Center) to increase productivity and efficiency. Many organizations tend to use the principles of KM practices to review the details of using the concept of KM in admission center. This research based on evaluation of KM in Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) that will help to review the strategies, which lead to improve current situation of work in HEAC. The major focus in this research is about the usage of Knowledge Sharing and Dissemination in HEAC "Data Exchange Portals", that successfully change the perspective of people and the intellectual workflow that will make the enterprises to have sharing of information using technology. The use of KM concept facilitates the admission center that will help to add value to the HEAC services. The reason for choosing the higher education sector in Sultanate of Oman is that they require a lot of assistance to deal with thousands of student's data and different institutions. The research approach can exercised uniquely, if there is implementation of KM used as the tool for sharing data.

Three generational issues in organizational learning

PurposeMethods for facilitating learning and knowledge transfer in multigenerational workplaces are of importance to organizations. Yet, intergenerational learning is vastly understudied in academic organizational literature. This conceptual paper aims to recommend future directions for studying intergenerational learning by examining three interrelated considerations.Design/methodology/approachGeneral knowledge management concepts, various generationally based perspectives on training and low-stakes development initiatives, are examined by integrating the existing literature.FindingsThe authors suggest that improved learning will occur in organizations that facilitate targeted socialization, respond to new preferences and trends in development programs while leveraging multiple approaches including informal/individualized initiatives (such as on-the-job education, mentorship programs) and embrace multiple types of volunteering activities.Originality valueAlthough other work has reviewed intergenerational learning, this is the first research to focus on multigenerational learning while considering tacit and practical learning transference from inside and outside the organization.

This paper aims to explore the permeability of the knowledge management (KM) concept at Mauritius Institute of Education (MIE), a leading Higher Education Institution (HEI) in teacher training established five decades ago. HEIs consolidate their strengths in a number of ways but managing the quality and quantity of knowledge and education can leverage its competitive advantage. Looking thoroughly at KM concepts in HEIs brought attention to other areas of interest like knowledge sharing practices and community of practices (CoPs). The research methodology used is a descriptive design where academics of different schools and departments at MIE were surveyed to look at (1) awareness about KM, (2) consumption of information and knowledge by academics, (3) knowledge sharing practices at personal and institutional level, and (4) the prevalence of (CoPs) in HEIs. The findings exposed a number of issues about KM practices and it also questioned the role and responsibilities that HEIs management can undertake in establishing KM strategies to gauge organisational excellence. Key words: Information, knowledge, knowledge management, Mauritius Institute of Education.
