The dynamics of knowledge is important for virtual organizations (VOs) knowledge management (KM) to improve the fast response capabilities and flexible problem solving capabilities of VOs in complex environments. This paper proposes a method of modeling knowledge dynamics in VOs, which is composed of three models: knowledge flow model, knowledge conversion model and knowledge sharing space mode...

Knowledge is the most valuable and important asset most organizations have, particularly in lean companies, those with extensive value chain networks, and those with high employee turnover. Managing that knowledge is thus key to maintaining competitive advantage. New technologies and management fundamentals have vastly increased the capabilities of knowledge management systems. But a comprehens...

this paper aims to use a priority framework based on decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (dematel) to help organizations build awareness of the critical influential factors affecting successful implementation of km. to identify critical influential factors, the authors studied and reviewed relevant literature from numerous fields of study associated with the essential issues of km. ...

This paper deals with the challenges related to self-management and evolution of massive knowledge collections. We can assume that a self-managed knowledge graph needs a kind of a hybrid of: an explicit declarative self-knowledge (as knowledge about own properties and capabilities) and an explicit procedural self-knowledge (as knowledge on how to utilize own properties and the capabilities for ...

This chapter catalogs knowledge management research and development activities at NASA Ames Research Center as of April 2002. A general categorization scheme for knowledge management systems is first introduced. This categorization scheme divides knowledge managemnt capabilities into five broad categories: knowledge capture, knowledge preservation, knowledge augmentation, knowledge disseminatio...

The health care industry is increasingly becoming a knowledge-based community that is connected to hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and customers for sharing knowledge, reducing administrative costs and improving the quality of care. Thus, the success of health care depends critically on the collection, analysis and seamless exchange of clinical, billing, and utilization information or knowledge...

As management of architectural knowledge becomes vital for improving an organization’s architectural capabilities, support for (semi-) automating this management is required. There exist already several tools that specialize in architecture knowledge management, as well as generic technologies that can potentially be used for this purpose. Both tools and technologies cover a wide number of pote...

Technology development and the fast changing market have resulted in the life cycle of high-tech products becoming shorter. Enterprises must therefore continuously conduct innovative research to meet customer demand and increase industrial competitiveness. Innovative product research and management have become the most important activities in enterprise survival and sustainability. This study i...
