This study examines the evolution of exploration and exploitation within intra-organisational domains, specifically, the technological and market knowledge domains in high-technology firms. It simultaneously tests the interaction between exploration and exploitation across domains. Furthermore, this paper examines the impact of firm-level failure experience on exploration and exploitation withi...

To understand how an organisational structure relates to organisational behaviour is an interesting fundamental challenge in the area of organisation modelling. Specifications of organisational structure usually have a diagrammatic form that abstracts from more detailed dynamics. Dynamic properties of agent systems, on the other hand, are often specified in the form of a set of logical formulae...

There is some evidence of the unabated proliferation of employee-autonomous, informal in an enterprise sense, collaborative information technologies (CITs) to perform collaborative activities despite huge investments in CIT enterprise systems. This article will introduce the metaphorical construct of “shadow CIT” (similar to “shadow IT” – Raden, 2005; Schaffner, 2007) to describe the strategic ...

This paper examines the latest of paradigms – the ‘Virtual Network(ed) Organisation’ and whether geographically dispersed knowledge workers can virtually collaborate for a project under no central planning. Co-ordination, management and the role of knowledge arise as the central areas of focus. The Linux Project and its virtual decentralised development model are selected as an appropriate case...

Staff had experienced extensive change during a research project implementing person-centred care (PCC) for patients with chronic heart failure. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH Surveys were sent out to 170 nurses. The surv...

The surgical pathology report on cancer resection specimens is fundamental to providing clinicians with the information needed for adequate patient oncology treatment. Since the multi-institutional quality study on pathology reporting of colorectal cancer published by Zarbo in 1992, many other studies have shown that the use of checklists or synoptic reporting is superior to traditional narrati...
