Der Beitrag behandelt die denkmöglichen Auswirkungen des Einsatzes von Kompetenzmanagementsystemen (KMS) auf die Motivation von Akteuren in Unternehmen. Der Erfolg eines solchen Systems hängt dabei wesentlich von der Akzeptanz der Akteure und der Integration in deren Arbeitsabläufe ab. Insbesondere wird untersucht, inwieweit KMS, die auf Ontologien basieren, vorteilhafter erscheinen als konvent...

Although many consulting companies have introduced IT-supported knowledge-management systems, and proponents of the literature continue to advocate knowledge management as a key to competitive advantage in consultancies, many knowledge management systems have fallen short of expectation in companies that have adopted them. However, empirical studies regarding the performance implications of the...

Researchers report mixed findings on the successful application of information technologies (IT) for Knowledge Management (KM). Action Research, with its emphasis on praxis and on the importance ‘practical theory,’ is an ideal vehicle for deepening the IS field’s understanding of developing ITenabled Knowledge Management Systems. It can also help identify IT artifacts that are core, as opposed ...

Context-awareness is a common feature of contemporary knowledge management systems (KMS). The intended effect of context-awareness is to tailor appearance, functionality and behavior of KMS to the needs and individual preferences of knowledge workers and to contribute to flexibility in organizational KMS use by supporting the integration of knowledge use into work processes. The variability of ...

Available research on the relationship between organizational culture (OC) and knowledge management success (KMS) has never demonstrated two points which are really critical issues in China, one is the specialized effect of process-orientation dimension of OC on KMS, and the other is the mediating role of knowledge sharing between OC and KMS. By adopting methods of logical reasoning and literat...

In this paper, we build a solid framework for the use of KMS-weights on C *-algebras. We will use another definition than the one introduced by Combes in [4], but we will prove that they are equivalent. However, the subject of KMS-weights is approached from a somewhat different angle. We introduce a construction procedure for KMS-weights, prove the most important properties of them, construct t...

This paper presents a framework for characterizing knowledge management systems (KMS). The framework has a descriptive nature and aims to be useful both to characterize and to drive KMS implementations, facilitating the identification and selection of appropriate tools according organization needs. A review of KMS categories was made to identify their underlying assumptions and purposes, and a ...

The transmembrane 4 superfamily member KAI1 (CD82) has been shown to inhibit pulmonary metastases in experimental metastasis models of prostate cancer and melanoma. KAI1 expression is decreased in the progression of common solid epithelial tumors of adulthood, including lung, prostate, breast, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, and bladder cancers. The purpose of our study was to investigate KAI1...

Knowledge management systems (KMSs) are seen as enabling technologies for an effective and efficient knowledge management (KM). However, up to date the term knowledge management system has often been used ambiguously. Examples are its use for specific KM tools, for KM platforms, or for (a combination of) tools that are applied with KM in mind. So far, investigations about the notion of KMS rema...

Key management in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is an active research topic. Due to the large number of key management schemes (KMS) proposed in the literature, it is not easy for a sensor network designer to know exactly which KMS best fits in a particular WSN application. In this article, we offer a comprehensive review on how the application requirements and the properties of various key ma...
