This paper proposes a human-centred solution framework for KM in the Concurrent Enterprise. The framework allows for the identification of key prerequisites and enablers for inter-organisational knowledge management. In the end the framework provides a theoretically based check-list to assess inter-organisational co-operations towards their knowledge management preconditions. Looking at knowled...

To increase the chances that knowledge management will provide strategic advantage, it should be tied to competitive strategy. Most KM projects, if considering strategic impact at all, start from the outcome and work backward to strategic impact. This paper suggests that one should start with strategy, identify strategic points of knowledge leverage, and use that to drive KM initiatives. It pro...

Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to provide a thorough analysis of the difference between business intelligence (BI) and knowledge management (KM) and to establish a framework for relating one field to the other. Design/methodology/approach – A review of the literature from approximately 1986 through 2004 served as the basis for analysis and comparison of BI and KM. The theoretical scope o...

This paper surveys knowledge management (KM) development using a literature review and classification of articles from 1995 to 2002 with keyword index in order to explore how KM technologies and applications have developed in this period. Based on the scope of 234 articles of knowledge management applications, this paper surveys and classifies KM technologies using the seven categories as: KM f...

KM is experiencing the steep downward slope of the “hype cycle” and some organizations are rushing to abandon KM as quickly as they rushed to adopt it. Unfortunately, much of our understanding of what KM can do for organizations is still limited to academic treatises and small pilot studies. Managers therefore realize they must market KM more effectively in order to communicate its potential an...

This paper presents a review of methodologies and techniques for the design of learning pedagogies and cognitive interfaces within a knowledge management framework. We refer to instructional design principles for the former and to human factors engineering for the latter. Subsequently, we propose a KM-e-learning framework which synergizes both the design of e-learning pedagogies and the design ...

This paper examines the different characteristics of tacit knowledge and develops an integrated framework for transferring tacit knowledge effectively. The appropriateness and relevance of knowledge management (KM) mechanisms and technologies for varied degrees of tacitness is discussed. The theoretical foundations for the framework are based on media richness theory and social cognitive theory.
