Contextual complexities as a result of the nature of knowledge based resources of organisations are increasingly the bases of competitive advantage. In the third generation of KM theories and techniques, intra-organisational flows of knowledge resources have become as important as the resources themselves. Management of such flows is an imperative rather than an alternative for most organisatio...

Simultaneous exploration and exploitation (i.e., exploration–exploitation) can help a firm address short-term environmental requirements ensure long-term viability. Exploration–exploitation, however, challenges organisational practices because they compete for resources time.

This paper discusses some human, social and organisational considerations which affect software processes and the introduction of software process technology. We discuss how to analyse software processes as human rather than technical processes, how process improvement through the introduction of process technology may be limited because of non-technical factors and how processes are influenced...

Open Innovation, of which open source software (OSS) is a well-cited example, can be analysed at a number of levels, including the interand intra-organisational networking level. However, most research to date on open innovation has focussed on inter-firm level and inter-organisational networking, hence neglecting the implications that open innovation has ‘within’ the organisation. Inner source...

The SEWASIE project within the Semantic Web Action Line of the European IST Programme focuses on the question how to assist networks of small and medium enterprises (so-called Integrated Economies) in enhancing their intra-and inter-organisational information management capabilities. While the project also includes novel techniques for semantic enrichment, query management, and presentation tec...
