The field of knowledge management (KM) has emerged strongly as the next source of competitive advantage. However, as to how knowledge management (KM) can be harnessed for the pursuit of innovation has yet to be firmly established. This article discusses the significance of knowledge by describing the transition from ‘information revolution’ to ‘knowledge revolution’ – which enables various form...

Organizational research on Knowledge Management (KM) has studied the nature of knowledge, the scope of KM, the factors and mechanisms that affect KM outcomes, as well as the theoretical KM frameworks. This paper discusses the implications of past KM studies and identifies nine significant contextual, cultural, structural, managerial, cognitive and technological factors that may impact the overa...

high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (sct) have become an effective care for many patients with hematological malignancies. harvesting the stem cells is one the most important parts of sct. the two most commonly used mobilization regimens are the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (g-csf) or g-csf plus chemotherapy. however, about 10-30% of patients are unab...

This paper introduces a new viewpoint in knowledge management by introducing KM-Services as a basic concept for Knowledge Management. This text discusses the vision of service oriented knowledge management (KM) as a realisation approach of process oriented knowledge management. In the following process oriented knowledge management as it was defined in the EU-project PROMOTE (IST-1999-11658) is...

peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (pbsct) is an effective treatment for hematological malignancies. mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells performs in different ways among transplantation centers. forceful mobilization schedules are comprised of growth factor alone, chemotherapy along with growth factor and also, a newly combination of novel agent such as plerixafor with any...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop and clarify a central concept of knowledge management, tacit knowledge. Design/methodology/approach – The paper investigates the philosophical roots of the concept of tacit knowledge and compares its core elements with current uses of the concept in contemporary knowledge management research. Different interpretations of the concept are identifi...

KM is more an archipelago of theories and practices rather than a monolithic approach. We propose a conceptual map that organizes some major approaches to KM according to their assumptions on the nature of knowledge. The paper introduces the two major views on knowledge –objectivist, subjectivist and explodes each of them into two major approaches to KM: knowledge as a market, and knowledge as ...

Knowledge management (KM) is the subject of much literature, discussion, planning and some action. Effectively implementing a sound KM strategy and becoming a knowledge-based company is seen as a mandatory condition of success for organizations as they enter the era of the knowledge economy. Yet KM remains a broadly illdefined term, with many, often disparate management theories, applications a...

This article develops an option pricing model to evaluate knowledge management (KM) activities from the following perspectives: knowledge creation, knowledge conversion, knowledge circulation, and knowledge carry out. This paper makes three important contributions: (1) it provides a formal theoretical grounding for the validity of the Black-Scholes model that might be employed to KM; (2) it pro...
