Generative AI as source of change of knowledge management paradigm

The launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 revolutionized the accessibility of generative Artificial Intelligence, enabling conversational interactions. Extensively tested by millions, its influence on management has become a subject of debate. In the digital revolution, generative Artificial Intelligence possesses transformative potential, automates tasks, delivers novel goods and services, and generates valuable insights. However, challenges such as data quality, human oversight, and ethical considerations arise in the context of digital transformation. This research employs qualitative research methods to examine the current understanding of generative Artificial Intelligence and predict its influence on the knowledge management within organizations. By conducting a survey among industry experts, this paper aims to provide valuable insights into the integration of generative Artificial Intelligence and its implications for the knowledge management paradigm.

Trust And Governance in a Rethinking of Classical Knowledge Management Paradigms: Toolkits for Public Sector During the COVID-19 Emergency

The post Covid-19 world is characterized by new technologies and a smart city approach. For this reason, the public sector must shift from the classic paradigms to a new way, following a Knowledge Management (KM) approach, to perform its role in dealing with emergency situations. Starting from classical KM models, we conducted a regional case study, showing how the process of rethinking is boosted by citizens’ needs and pushed by the trust of the stakeholders in the central authority. In fact, as highlighted by part of the international literature, local authorities’ planning aims to achieve public value and alignment between stakeholders and policy making represents one of the main goals to be achieved. With an OLS regression we estimated the correlation between the trust of citizens and the statutory actions taken by central and peripheral government, showing that only with the alignment of public policies and the will of the citizens is it possible to overcome a crisis. Moreover, we underline the gaps in the literature and the missing links, with the aim of creating a KM model that can also be applied in the near future.

CONCEPTUAL BASIS OF “THE DIGITAL ECONOMY FORSITE MODEL”: EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE

The article examines the conceptual foundations of the “digital economy” foresight model, in the context of which the analysis of the concepts of “foresight”, “strategic foresight” and their difference from planning, forecasting. Foresight, combined with an approach to the digital economy as a comprehensive adaptive system, promotes the development of forecasting and forecasting, but differs from them. Strategic foresight is evolving in many developed economies, including the European Union, Japan, and Singapore, where government-level foresight programs are common. According to scientists, foresight is understood as the ability to see what will or could happen in the future. The purpose of the study is to conceptualize the “digital economy foresight” model, which is the basis for understanding the processes and trends of the digital society. The object of research is the digital economy foresight model as a complex social and economic phenomenon. The subject of the research is the influence of digitalization on the formation of the digital economy foresight model. The study is based on the analysis of domestic and foreign experience in studying the foresight of the digital economy, based on an understanding of the system and processes of digital knowledge management (paradigm of thinking and relationships), economic concepts of information and knowledge management. Methods of analysis are comparative analysis, content analysis, methods of deduction and modeling as scientific knowledge of socio-economic processes. The result of the study. The essence of the concepts “foresight” and “strategic foresight” is analyzed and the methods of foresight of the digital economy are determined. Theoretical and practical bases of foresight for business and the methodology of integrated foresight during a foresight session are clarified. The use of foresight methods of forced digitalization of everyday social practices is revealed and the analysis of the “foresight of the digital economy” in Europe is carried out. The practical significance of the study lies in the philosophical understanding of the analysis of the “foresight of the digital economy” in Europe. The accelerator of the digital paradigm foresight is digital space and digital creative technologies.

Reframing a Novel Decentralized Knowledge Management Concept as a Desirable Vision: As We May Realize the Memex

Proposing a major (though envisaged synergetic) shift in the knowledge management (KM) paradigm needs to convince a skeptical audience. This article attempts such a feat and motivates its conceptual considerations by fusing a wide scope of theoretical KM-related foundations in response to current KM unsustainabilities and emerging enabling technologies. The envisioned workflows, infrastructure, affordances, and impact resulting from the progressing design science research and prototyping efforts are consolidated and reframed, guided by a five-step visioneering process and twelve triple-criteria-clusters combining innovative, technological, and vision-related qualities. Inspired by Bush’s “Memex”, a desirable vision never realized since its suggestion three quarters of a century ago, the novel KM system (KMS) pursues the scenario of a mutually beneficial co-evolution between individual and institutional KM activities. This article follows up on the unsatisfactory and unsustainable state of current KM affairs suffering from accelerating information abundance, invisible work, structural interdisciplinary holes, lacking personal tools, and widening opportunity divides. By portraying a potentially transformative and game-changing technology, the crafting and drafting of a desirable, sustainable, and viable KMS vision assures transparency and can be more easily shared with a critical mass of stakeholders as a prerequisite for creating the respective future KM reality. The drafting of the “Desirable Sustainability Vision” is envisaged to assist a currently accepted KMS start-up project and investment.

A Multiagent System Prototype of a Tacit Knowledge Management Model to Reduce Labor Incident Resolution Times

The transformation of the tacit knowledge of a company’s human resources into permanent organizational capital in spite of possible staff turnover is of business interest. This research focuses on the management of tacit knowledge to resolve labor incidents and reduce resolution times. We present the GESTAC model, a name derived from the first syllables of the Spanish words “gestión” (management) and “tácito” (tacit), which identifies, locates and rates people in the business domain capable of resolving a labor incident logged by a user employed by the company. In order to achieve its objective, the GESTAC model follows the tacit knowledge management paradigm, according to which tacit knowledge that could eventually resolve the logged incidents is identified, captured and stored in a permanent database, and then evaluated and disseminated to the people who have need of the knowledge. This could lead to the knowledge source being automatically rerated, and the entire process restarted. The aim is to contribute to the state of the art, showing that by applying tacit knowledge management to a specific domain the GESTAC model is able to reduce incident resolution times with respect to traditional systems. The model was prototyped (GESTAC_APP) using the multiagent systems paradigm.

A new paradigm of knowledge management: Crowdsourcing as emergent research and development

1Drawing from knowledge management theory, this paper argues that the knowledge aggregation problem poses a fundamental constraint to knowledge creation and innovation, and offers a potential solution to this problem. Specific consequences of innovation failure include the failure of research and development to deliver new medicines to address threats such as widespread and increasing antibiotic resistance, the rise of airborne multidrug-resistant or totally drug-resistant tuberculosis, as well as a lack of new drugs to deal with emerging threats such as Ebola. Persistent constraints to knowledge creation exist in the form of market failure, or the failure of profit-seeking models of innovation to internalise the positive externalities associated with innovations, as well as academic failure, or the failure of academic research to provide much needed innovations to address societal problems. However, a lack of theory exists as to how to transcend these constraints to knowledge aggregation. This paper presents a probabilistic theoretical framework of innovation, suggesting that the ‘wisdom of the crowd’, or emergent properties of problem-solving, may emerge as a function of scale when crowdsourcing principles are applied to research and development. It is argued in this paper that the consequences of a lack of knowledge of innovation failure are already upon us, and that a radical new approach to knowledge management and innovation is needed.

Knowledge Management Paradigms, Philosophical Assumptions: An Outlook on Future Research

This study informs knowledge management (KM) research assessing the philosophical assumptions and paradigms that have formed around the discipline. Reviewing positivism, critical realism, interpretivism or constructivism, and pragmatism the researcher suggests to draw on constructivism to inform KM theory. Moreover, it is suggested that a mixed methods approach is the most suitable to engage in research on KM so that a flexibility can be maintained that will allow to detect what KM is and how knowledge can be managed.

Understanding and predicting academic performance through cloud computing adoption: a perspective of technology acceptance model

Cloud computing is becoming an integral part of education community due to its strong acceptance and innovative application for fulfilling their academics needs. In this paper, we theorize how cloud computing adoption enhances student academic performance through personal characteristics and knowledge management paradigm using TAM as a theoretical base. Using survey approach, the present study recruited 322 universities students who are well aware of using cloud-based services (G-mail, G-drive, and WhatsApp). The proposed model and structural relationships validated by employing structural equation modeling in AMOS 24.0 version. How knowledge management dimensions and individual characteristics affect cloud computing adoption and students’ academic performance by integrating the TAM. The results illustrate that knowledge sharing, learnability, and knowledge application are positively associated with perceived-usefulness. Similarly, perceived-self-efficacy and perceived-enjoyment have a positive effect on perceived-ease-of-use. Moreover, perceived-usefulness and perceived-ease-of-use have a significant influence on cloud computing adoption which, in turn, positively accelerates the academic performance. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed followed by limitations and future research directions.

대학도서관에서 대안적 리더십의 의미와 적용에 관한 고찰

지식시회에 있어서 대안적 리더십은 수평적, 정서적인 접근, 책임감을 통해 조직원들을 동기부여 하여 자발적 참여를 유도하게 한다. 대안적 리더십에 대한 이론적 연구와 대학도서관에서의 적용 가능성에 대한 이론적 논의는 거의 전무하다. 본 연구에서는 그 첫걸음으로 대안적 리더십들에 대한 이론적 고찰과 대학 도서관에서 지식경영 패러다임 변화, 관리자와 사서의 역할 변화와 대안적 리더십 적용에 대한 논의를 통해 대학도서관을 주도할 사서들의 리더십 강화를 위한 개발 방향을 제시하고자 한다. In the knowledge society, alternative leadership induces voluntary participation by motivating the members through horizontal, emotional approach and responsibility. There is little theoretical discussion about theoretical research on alternative leadership and its applicability in university libraries. In this study, we will discuss the theoretical review of alternative leadership, the change of knowledge management paradigm in university library, the role of manager and librarian, and alternative leadership application. Through this, I would like to suggest the development direction for strengthening the leadership of the librarians who will lead the university library.

Towards A Meta Theory Of Accounting For Knowledge Management: Review The Realities To Stage The Critical Thinking Of Knowledge Business Model

Knowledge management has always seen as an engine to converttacit knowledge into explicit. Knowledge assets are facilitators to makesuch conversion. Knowledge management paradigm is a turning point in themanagement theories of business. When such paradigm has business dominance,it is time to question how to account for it ? Accounting for “how” and “why”has been largely neglected by the professional bodies and scholars of accounting.Accounting for knowledge management paradigm can be very critical in termsof questioning some of the fundamental assumptions of financial statements.The focus has been very narrow and anachronistic. Accounting for knowledgemanagement is a problematic issue warrant further investigations. Its involvesfar more than the need to address the paradoxes and lacks of accounting modeland practices. The extension of institutional accounting theories highlights howaccounting against knowledge management is totally different from accountingfor operations? Yet, the failure is shaped by the areas of asset recognition andthe appropriateness of the going concern assumption. The virtue of conflict isgrounded in nature of key assets, materiality, agility, visibility, periodicity,creativity, connectivity, interactivity, continuity, and survival. This paper arguesthat accounting for knowledge management must be based on understanding thedynamic nature of knowledge management. This paper contributes to accountingliterature by being the first to identify how knowledge management reality hasshaken the theoretical logic of accounting.

Knowledge Management Paradigms: Implementation through Individual Fuzzy-based Education

Knowledge Management discipline requires interdisciplinary implementation and interaction of separate domains. This conditions have become its nature and to be able to answer these requirements of this condition, different Knowledge Science oriented programs have been founded. In this study, by looking at one of these programs, Near East University Innovation and Knowledge Management Master and Doctorate programs, with respect to epistemological and ontological perspectives and related inter-intra organization, humanist, technological and socio-technical paradigms, these programs structures are shared. As an addition to this concept, to be able to satisfy personalized education requirements of the graduate level students, a fuzzy based system is suggested to build a system over this concept.

Mass collaborative knowledge management

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to reveal the underlying principles of knowledge processing in a new era of mass collaboration and provide an integrated guideline for organizational knowledge management (KM) based on identifying the gaps between the existing KM theories and emerging knowledge initiatives such as Web 2.0, Pro-Am, Crowdsourcing, as well as Open Innovation.Design/methodology/approach– This research mainly employs three types of research methodologies: Literature study was conducted to connect this study with conventional theories in KM and propose the main principles of Mass Collaborative Knowledge Management (MCKM). Object-oriented modeling was used for designing its interaction model. The case study method was employed to discuss the two typical practices carried out by Goldcorp Inc. as well as the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency.Findings– This paper proposes the novel KM paradigm called MCKM and also provides its main principles and the interaction model. First, it identifies the gaps between emerging practices and existing KM theories. Second, it embraces the long tails into the scope of organizational KM and extends the scope of prevailing KM studies. Third, it falls back on Pro-Ams to save the costs of and to reduce the risk to organizational KM as well. Fourth, it highlights the advantages of opening organizational internal knowledge and transforms the core beliefs in conventional KM. Finally, it classifies organizational knowledge into two types, domain knowledge and non-domain knowledge, and provides some managing policies, respectively.Practical implications– Introducing MCKM into organizational KM will not only enhance the organizational knowledge creation and sharing, but also help an organization build its open knowledge ecosystem.Originality/value– This is a paper to introduce a new direction of KM studies, which guides an organization to build an open knowledge ecosystem by implementing mass collaborations and taking advantages of the complementary advantages of men and machines in knowledge processing.

Study related knowledge management process at the university department: theoretical approach

Educating professionals for knowledge organizations becomes a relevant goal of education. The underlying asset of knowledge organizations is unique knowledge possessing the essential worth for organizations’ value creation. In the dynamic structure of professionals’ competences the abilities of organizational learning are fundamental. Thus knowledge management increasingly becomes the paradigm uniting education and management. In this context universities identify themselves as knowledge organizations, the basic structural units of which – departments – have to distinguish themselves in the essential features of knowledge management if they wish to be able to educate future professionals for knowledge organizations. As research publications on studies related to knowledge management process at the university department are missing, modelling of such knowledge management process is a relevant research problem, which presupposes the question: what aspects of studies related knowledge management process are characteristic of the university department?This article provides a theoretical rationale for study related knowledge management process at the university department.
 As a result of research literature analysis, the following conclusions have been drawn:
 • The paradigm of knowledge management expands the concept of study related performance of the university department by adding the concept of study related knowledge management process.
 • The concept of organizational learning as learning on individual and collective levels as well as at their interface, which creates organizational knowledge for empowering the construction, implementation and development of study programmes, is insufficientfor encouraging indepth changes of study related performance that respond to the challenges of the contemporary universit y.
 • The process of study related knowledge management process is defined as an integrated whole of activities initiated and (or) supported at the university department for the sake of identifying, acquiring, creating, disseminating study related knowledge, storing valuable knowledge and applying it in studies. Organizational learning and its empowerment are of special importance in the process of study related knowledge management.

Technical and Collaboration Breakdown Structures: Drivers of collaborative problem solving approaches in a supply chain context

Abstract For a long time the Problem Solving Methodologies have been a cornerstone element of the firms' strategy on achieving effective continuous improvement. But the enterprise's evolution towards an extended environment characterized by network-based organizations has radically changed the problem solving and the knowledge management paradigms. This paper aims to establish the global framework for the definition of a generic and collaborative methodology addressing more complex and distributed problems. Such methodology deals with Supply Chain issues, distributed Experience Feedback processes and aims to have a key role as a driver for building global competitive advantages and creating superior performances at a Supply Chain level.

Migration of health workers and health of international migrants: framework for bridging some knowledge disjoints between brain drain and brawn drain

A paradox in knowledge management paradigms is posed: that leading to a dichotomy between factor-endowment and factor-use in the health sector of any given country. While investment in acquiring health knowledge embodied in overseas health workers from other countries could lead to better health and therefore higher productivity of the native workforce in the developed North countries, immigration of overseas non-health-workers, particularly those at the lower end of the skill spectrum, could neutralise that advantage if their health and therefore productivity is allowed to wither away. For the developing South countries, this adds a new question in the policy debate on brain drain – whether ‘drain’ of knowledge for the origin country as defined in terms of loss of benefits to the people physically left behind within its sovereign geographical territory, or a more inclusive and wider definition of ‘drain’ of knowledge for its people irrespective of their physical location in a globalised and interconnected world. The latter definition could have significant implications for bridging our knowledge disjoints between health policies involving migrants and migration policies involving health workers.
