Nonaka’s paper [1994. A dynamic theory of organizational knowledge creation. Organ. Sci. 5(1) 14–37] contributed to the concepts of “tacit knowledge” and “knowledge conversion” in organization science. We present work that shaped the development of organizational knowledge creation theory and identify two premises upon which more than 15 years of extensive academic work has been conducted: (1) ...

Knowledge management systems provide opportunities for organizations to obtain and manipulate their knowledge in order to impact their strategic initiatives. As these systems become more prevalent within organizational structures, the benefits of KM systems can be enhanced by reviewing the impact of organizational culture, organizational leadership, and organizational infrastructure components ...

Any organization that wishes to excel at KM needs to improve its knowledge creation processes, both at the individual and at the group level. In this way, the theory of organizational knowledge creation has developed rapidly in academic world and been broadly scattered in management science over the last 19 years. This paper conducts a general study about the theory’s fundamental components and...

A comprehensive and feasible model that delineates the interrelationships among diversified learning mechanisms, information management, and knowledge creation is absent. This study aims to fill this void. Unlike previous research, this study investigates the causality of knowledge creation from two different perspectives: data management strategy, i.e. distributed data application and administ...

Introduction Since the early 1990’s, interest of the topic of knowledge (e.g., knowledge management, knowledge sharing, knowledge creation, etc.) as it relates to organizations and value creation for organizations has increased dramatically in both the popular and scholarly literature (von Krogh, Ichijo, & Nonaka, 2000).

Virtual teams have made such an impact on many organizational phenomena, particularly knowledge management. Based on socio-technical perspective, this paper suggests that trust and IT are the underlying foundation of knowledge creation in virtual teams. Based on such foundation, this paper proposes a theoretical model of knowledge creation process in virtual teams called Adaptive Social-Externa...

While this is a useful and necessary function in the development of new knowledge, it represents a small, and arguably less than significant part of the total process of knowledge creation. Though such well intended...
