A cornerstone in the integration of Knowledge Management (KM) in the business is the extension of the business strategy with a knowledge strategy. The Knowledge Strategy Process (KSP) at Siemens follows a top-down approach and helps the management to integrate knowledge strategy effectively in their business strategy. Furthermore, it brings the decision makers of a business unit on one table to...

it is rather difficult to exploit knowledge in project organizations due to their unique characteristics and temporal behavior of activities. therefore, development of knowledge management capability among projects is accounted for an important source to gain competitive advantage. this paper tries to provide a conceptual framework in order to introduce applications of storytelling as an effect...

When conducting workshops with business people, there is a significant risk to become bogged down in the details of the underlying business process rather than seeing the big picture of the value provided by the process to its stakeholders.

Nanotechnology is crucial for industrial and scientific advancement, with millions of dollars being invested each year in nanotechnology-related research. Recent developments in information-technology enables modeling the knowledge diffusion process via online depositories of nanotechnology-related scientific publication records. Understanding the mechanism may help funding agencies use their f...

Recently, we proposed a systematic method for top-down synthesis and verification of lemmata and algorithms called ”lazy thinking method” as a part of systematic mathematical theory exploration (mathematical knowledge management). The lazy thinking method is characterized: • by using a library of theorem and algorithm schemes • and by using the information contained in failing attempts to prove...

Theory suggests that coworkers may influence individuals’ technology use behaviors, but there is limited research in the technology diffusion literature that explicates how such social influence processes operate after initial adoption. We investigate how two key social influence mechanisms (identification and internalization) may explain the growth over time in individuals’ use of a knowledge ...
