Techniques du commerce Résumé : In today's complex business landscape it is critical to identify and understand what are the knowledge-based value drivers affecting business value creation. This paper focuses on the relevance of the emotive knowledge as a key knowledge asset shaping organisational capabilities of 21st century organisations. The concept of emotive knowledge is analysed in accordance with a twofold perspective. On the one hand, it is considered as a driver of people's engagement, and on the other it is viewed as a key factor affecting the creation of intangible value to be incorporated into organisational infrastructures and products.

The impact of outsourcing strategies on companies’ intellectual capital / Ingi Runar Edvardsson in Knowledge management research and practice, Vol. 9 N° 4 (Décembre 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Knowledge management research and practice > Vol. 9 N° 4 (Décembre 2011) . - pp. 286-292 Titre : The impact of outsourcing strategies on companies’ intellectual capital Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ingi Runar Edvardsson, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 286-292 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Outsourcing  IC  Human  capital  Literature  review Index. décimale : 658 Organisation des entreprises. Techniques du commerce Résumé : The aim of the paper is to analyse the effect of outsourcing on the intellectual capital of firms in the current turbulent environment. In particular, the paper will analyse the difference between cost-driven and strategic-driven outsourcing and their impact on human and organisational/relational capital. In addition, the paper will stress the differences in outsourcing of manufacturing and service firms. We propose an approach of literature review in order to develop a model of outsourcing for enhanced intellectual capital utilisation and competitiveness. This methodology puts in evidence that there are very few studies/analysis that stress the link between strategic outsourcing and its potential to increase in particular relational capital due to cooperation of two or more firms. The outcomes of the application will result in a theoretical model that can assist researchers, managers and consultants to better understand the link between outsourcing and intellectual capital and competitive advantage.

Techniques du commerce Résumé : Linking the knowledge-based view, the multinational theory and the intellectual capital-based view of the firm, this paper seeks to identify the main activities belonging to the relational capital of multinationals and the extent to which they contribute to knowledge development and transfer between their different subsidiaries. Six multinational and knowledge-intensive firms placed in Spain have been analysed through a qualitative research based on a multiple case-study. Its findings show the main relational activities that facilitate knowledge flows between the different units of a multinational. These activities are classified into four categories: relational structures (work teams, communities of practices, transnational teams, centres of excellence), tools (information and communication technologies, internal communication and publications), practices (expatriates) and socialisation. Tacit knowledge, as well as the idiosyncratic nature that most of them have, makes the relational capital of the firms studied become a source of competitive advantage.

Techniques du commerce Résumé : The paper aims at analysing the relationship between the market extension of Knowledge-Intensive Business Services (KIBS) and their knowledge management strategies. The literature emphasizes the strong relationship existing between KIBS and their customers in terms of innovation process and knowledge creation. We argue that the knowledge management strategies – in terms of knowledge codification, personalization, and knowledge creation – implemented by a KIBS is related to their geographical market extension. A quantitative approach is developed based on more than 150 Italian KIBS specializing in design and communication. The paper enriches the research framework concerning KIBS by emphasizing also the role of partners other than customers in KIBS’ knowledge management strategies.

Knowledge-intensity as an organisational characteristic / Jonna Käpylä in Knowledge management research and practice, Vol. 9 N° 4 (Décembre 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Knowledge management research and practice > Vol. 9 N° 4 (Décembre 2011) . - pp. 315-326 Titre : Knowledge-intensity as an organisational characteristic Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jonna Käpylä, Auteur ; Harri Laihonen, Auteur ; Antti Lönnqvist, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 315-326 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Knowledge-intensity  Knowledge-intensive  business  service  KIBS  Knowledge  assets  Intellectual  capital  Interview  study Index. décimale : 658 Organisation des entreprises. Techniques du commerce Résumé : The sector of knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) has a central role in modern economies. However, there are no explicit and generally acknowledged criteria for characterising KIBS or other knowledge-intensive organisations. In addition, the concept of knowledge-intensity has no significant managerial use. This paper aims to widen the existing understanding about the concept of knowledge-intensity and take a step towards its operational application and managerial usefulness. Methodologically, two steps are carried out. First, a conceptual study based on intellectual capital literature and literature on knowledge-intensive firms is carried out. Second, an interview study (n=8) is carried out to empirically examine the role of knowledge assets in selected KIBS organisations. This paper contributes by tackling the vagueness of the concept of knowledge-intensity: the paper demonstrates that there are different types of ‘knowledge-intensity profiles’ among KIBS companies and that knowledge assets can be used as an analytical framework to identify the sources of value creation.

A model for assessing the coherence of companies’ knowledge strategy / Alberto F. De Toni in Knowledge management research and practice, Vol. 9 N° 4 (Décembre 2011)

Techniques du commerce Résumé : This paper proposes a strategic model for assessing the coherence between companies’ knowledge strategies and their business strategies as well as in their competitive and organisational contexts. In analysing knowledge management literature, we locate three principal strategies: (1) knowledge development (internal or external), (2) knowledge sharing (codification or personalisation) and (3) knowledge exploitation (internal or external). We then position the three strategies and six related policies in the context-content-process dimensions of Pettigrew's model to create a useful framework for strategic analysis and a model to assess the coherence of companies’ knowledge strategy. The model can be used to evaluate how an existing knowledge strategy aligns with a company's characteristics and to formulate and implement a coherent knowledge strategy based on the current competitive environment, organisational context and business strategy.

Techniques du commerce Résumé : Healthcare organisations are facing the constant trade off to contain expenditures without sacrificing the quality of patient's care. This challenge to do ‘more with less’ induced healthcare executives to heavily invest in innovations activities in order to increase the efficiency of their organisations. By taking an individual-level perspective, our study focuses on knowledge-sharing behaviour among healthcare practitioners as a critical element to continuously improve the performance of healthcare organisations. Specifically we explore the effect of intellectual capital on practitioners’ knowledge-sharing behaviour, and propose organisational knowledge-sharing climate as mediator. We conducted a survey on three healthcare organisations. Our results substantiate the positive link between intellectual capital and knowledge-sharing behaviour, and reveal that organisational knowledge-sharing climate fully mediates this relationship. These findings provide hospital managers with key implications for the management of intellectual capital as a lever to improve the sharing and the diffusion of knowledge among practitioners.

Unravelling the dynamics of knowledge creation in communities of practice though complexity theory lenses / Stefano Borzillo in Knowledge management research and practice, Vol. 9 N° 4 (Décembre 2011)

Techniques du commerce Résumé : Drawing on a longitudinal case study of Alpha Chemicals, we use four complexity theory constructs – adaptive tension, enabling leadership, enhanced cooperation, and boundary spanning – to explain the continuous knowledge creation dynamics in Communities of practice (CoPs). Our findings show that the virtual cycle of knowledge creation results from CoPs oscillating between guided and self-directed modes. In a guided mode, adaptive tension and enabling leadership prevail, resulting in knowledge expansion. In a self-directed mode, enhancing cooperation and boundary spanning are the most significant, resulting in knowledge probing. This research uncovers the value of conceptualizing CoPs as complex adaptive systems with emergent and intentional processes coexisting to create a virtual knowledge creation cycle. Our findings complement the dominant theory on CoPs’ insights by moving beyond the control/autonomy debate and highlighting that knowledge creation dynamics results from a flexible combination and recombination of the different top-down and bottom-up forces.

Techniques du commerce Résumé : The concept of absorptive capacity has already been considerably studied from a theoretical perspective, but few, if any, attempts at operationalizing the concept have been studied in ways that would allow its full assessment. The more specific focus provided by the four dimensions identified in some recent literature – acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation – opens up some promising avenues for operationalizing the concept. This exploratory research studies and describes case studies of ten innovative companies using a cross-sectional research design. In the first part of the article, we re-examine the concept of absorptive capacity in terms of dynamic capabilities and provide a review of the relevant literature. The second part describes the work accomplished to operationalize the concept of dynamic capability and analyses the possible relationship between the business strategies adopted by the companies studied and their particular strategic capacity.

Techniques du commerce Résumé : At the Cochrane Child Health Field, we embarked on a complex project to develop short one-page clinical summaries of health evidence to answer questions posed by paediatricians. Subsequently, our priority was to test these ‘Clinical Answers’ (CAs) to ensure that our product was meeting their needs. This paper provides a reflection of the process of developing a research design to evaluate the CAs format, particularly focusing on the process of partnership. Schön's concept of reflection-on-action is used as a framework.

Subsequently, our priority was to test these ‘Clinical Answers’ (CAs) to ensure that our product was meeting their needs. This paper provides a reflection of the process of developing a research design to evaluate the CAs format, particularly focusing on the process of partnership. Schön's concept of reflection-on-action is used as a framework. DEWEY : 658 ISSN : 1477-8238 En ligne : http://www.palgrave-journals.com/kmrp/journal/v9/n4/abs/kmrp201131a.html
