The paper describes a comprehensive approach for the modelling and description of technologies available within a European Research Infrastructure consisting of distributed research infrastructures all over Europe. The resulting knowledge management system integrates the partial approaches of several European research activities in this area to a comprehensive description format for technical c...

This paper argues that Knowledge Management (KM) and Knowledge Sharing (KS) are strongly linked to organisational maturity. The mechanisms that enable this upward movement and depict measurable effects of performance as the organisation climbs from ad hoc levels to institutionalised high levels of process maturity are investigated. The I5P visualisation framework which aligns a Knowledge Sharin...

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...

This paper presents the cognizant enterprise maturity model (CEMM). The model provides tripartite usage of calibration, capability assessment, and maturity advancement. The entry point is an organizational and departmental profiler that provides relevance measures based on fuzzy multicriteria group decision-making (FMCGDM) capabilities to key maturity areas (KMAs) identified for the five-level ...

In the past few years, many Information Technology (IT) departments have been vastly expanded or created, and new processes have come into existence. With these increasing numbers of elements, organizations face the challenge of process integration. They must seek to integrate what are often rapidly changing sets of procedures to make processes work synergistically and maximize the return from ...

High quality knowledge management programmes usually lead to competitive advantages for the organizations that implement them. Several knowledge management maturity models have been proposed with the aim of evaluating the quality of knowledge management programmes in organizations, among which the Knowledge Management Capability Assessment (KMCA) model. Even so, the acquisition of a knowledge m...

In this article amaturitymodel for themanagementof transdisciplinaryknowledge ispresented, although research nowadays is transdisciplinary the different maturity models proposed in the literature are oriented towards interdisciplinary knowledgemanagement, and, at most, they are oriented towardmultidisciplinary knowledge management. The objective is proposing an evolutionary model which accepts ...
