Nonaka and Takeuchi [21] assert their theory of knowledge creation blends both Western and Japanese philosophy. Although they incorporate several major tenets of rational philosophy, they overlook important criticisms that impact their model. This paper explores one element of their theory — the "enabling condition" of intention — and suggests some limitations to their approach that can be over...

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, we have entered a new era of knowledge management; humans must now live and work in a knowledge-based society as knowledge workers (Drucker, 1993). Various streams of knowledge management (KM) research have emerged. Early research focused on understanding the differences among data, information, knowledge and classifications, such as tacit versu...

This paper is concerned with organizing Knowledge Management in R&D projects where time is the prime factor. We argue that agents should augment groupware functionalities in order to increase the overall system pro-activity and information sharing among project members. These agents are organized, as far as possible, accordingly to the model of Ba proposed by Nonaka and Konno.

Background We previously reported the early detection of cardiac motion dyssynchrony in GRMD dogs (a model for Duchenne myopathy with cardiac involvement). In this new work, we applied the same dyssynchrony index in a cohort of 88 Becker patients of various age (38,7 ±13,6 years; range from 18 to 68) and disease burden (number of segment count with any Gd late enhancement : 4,37 ± 3,14 ; range ...

The authors clearly showed that a single intravenous injection of famotidine and omeprazole had no effects on gastric emptying using the continuous real-time C breath test (Breath ID System) in a randomized placebo-con...

Most scholars agree that intangible assets are far more important for a firm’s success than their tangible counterparts. As well as the traditional production factors crucial for a firm’s success (land, labor, and capital), knowledge is nowadays considered as equally important (Wickramasinghe and Von Lubitz, 2007). Numerous authors have stressed the critical role knowledge has for a firm’s sust...
