Performance implications of matching adaption and innovation cognitive style with explicit and tacit knowledge resources / James M. Bloodgood in Knowledge management research and practice, Vol. 10 N° 2 (Juin 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inKnowledge management research and practice > Vol. 10 N° 2 (Juin 2012) . - pp. 106-117 Titre : Performance implications of matching adaption and innovation cognitive style with explicit and tacit knowledge resources Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : James M. Bloodgood, Auteur ; Michael A. Chilton, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 106-117 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cognitive style Knowledge resources Organizational performance Résumé : Some organizations are more effective at using their knowledge resources than are others, and this can lead to performance differences among organizations with equivalent resources. One aspect of organizations that helps to explain differences in effective use of organizational resources is the cognitive styles of organization members. We propose that a better matching of cognitive style and knowledge resources will improve organizational performance through improved knowledge resource utilization. In particular, and based on adaption-innovation theory (Kirton, 1976), we propose that teams of individuals with an adaptor cognitive style will perform better when explicit knowledge is available and teams of individuals with an innovator cognitive style will perform better when tacit knowledge is available. In addition, when there are significant differences in cognitive styles among a team of organizational members we suggest that training can improve the successful use of available organizational knowledge resources.

Research teams as complex systems / Eleftheria Vasileiadou in Knowledge management research and practice, Vol. 10 N° 2 (Juin 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inKnowledge management research and practice > Vol. 10 N° 2 (Juin 2012) . - pp. 118-127 Titre : Research teams as complex systems : Implications for knowledge management Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Eleftheria Vasileiadou, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 118-127 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Systems thinking Small teams Knowledge Complex systems Résumé : The recent increase in research collaboration creates the need to better understand the interaction between individual researchers and the collaborative team. The paper elaborates the conceptualisation of research teams as complex systems which emerge out of the local interactions of individual members operating in their local research groups, and which exhibit different dynamics: the local, the global dynamics, and the contextual dynamics. A model of research teams as complex systems is also introduced. This conceptualisation provides unique insights on management of distributed research teams: (a) the internal operations of some teams are more sensitive to external events than others; (b) conflicts emerge as a mismatch of management structures at the different levels in which a team operates; and (c) teams of high complexity have additional coordination needs, which can be fulfilled by the use of information and communication technologies. Recommendations are drawn for the use of a complex adaptive systems model in the field of knowledge management.

Beyond cross-functional teams / Caroline Sargis Roussel in Knowledge management research and practice, Vol. 10 N° 2 (Juin 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inKnowledge management research and practice > Vol. 10 N° 2 (Juin 2012) . - pp. 128–140 Titre : Beyond cross-functional teams : Knowledge integration during organizational projects and the role of social capital Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Caroline Sargis Roussel, Auteur ; François Deltour, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 128–140 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Knowledge creation sharing Social capital Information systems Case study Résumé : Large organizational projects must integrate the specific and dispersed knowledge of many individuals and groups to succeed. Thus, frequent exchanges between the project team and the organization's members are required. In this context, understanding of the knowledge integration process during cross-functional projects can be enhanced through the conceptual framework of social capital. A qualitative investigation of a French small firm conceptualizes knowledge integration as a three-phase model: collection, interpretation, and assimilation. The case shows that the integration process is cyclical with overlaps and inter-dependencies among the phases. This study leads to refinement of the social capital role in knowledge integration and reveals the dynamics of internal and external facets of social capital. That is, internal and external social capital play differentiated roles depending on the three phases of the knowledge integration process. Finally, the study reveals the co-evolution of social capital and knowledge integration as a resulting long-term effect.

Martinelli, Auteur ; Ivete Delai, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 141–152 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Systems thinking Knowledge and information Intelligence systems methodology Organizational intelligence Business acquisition Résumé : Organizational intelligence can be seen as a function of the viable structure of an organization. With the integration of the Viable System Model and Soft Systems Methodology (systemic approaches of organizational management) focused on the role of the intelligence function, it is possible to elaborate a model of action with a structured methodology to prospect, select, treat and distribute information to the entire organization that improves the efficacy and efficiency of all processes. This combination of methodologies is called Intelligence Systems Methodology (ISM) whose assumptions and dynamics are delimited in this paper. The ISM is composed of two simultaneous activities: the Active Environmental Mapping and the Stimulated Action Cycle. The elaboration of the formal ISM description opens opportunities for applications of the methodology on real situations, offering a new path for this specific issue of systems thinking: the intelligence systems.

This study examines crucial links between telemedicine technologies and the existence and enhancement of patient electronic knowledge (e-knowledge) through an empirical investigation of 252 patients of a Hospital-in-the-Home Unit (HHU) within a Spanish regional hospital. To this end, a structural equation model, validated by the factor analysis of these patients is included. To HHU managers, this study offers a set of guidelines to understand the role of organisational learning processes in patient e-knowledge and telemedicine technologies. Our findings support that the relationship between organisational learning and patient e-knowledge can be mediated by telemedicine technologies.

The Accountant-General's Department under the Ministry of Finance in Malaysia is selected for three reasons: (1) it is known as the knowledge nexus of public sector accounting knowledge and practices; (2) it has a large pool of professional intellects, that is, accountants; and (3) it is in the process of implementing knowledge management (KM). A survey questionnaire was designed to collect data from the accountants. The outcomes from factor analysis and multiple regression analysis provide some empirical support to the proposed relationship. The findings contribute to both research and practice from the perspective of future KM implementation strategy in a public sector accounting organization. The findings are discussed and recommendations are provided before concluding the paper.

Collaboration and knowledge sharing are fundamental aspects of problem solving, decision making and innovation, and are therefore vital for success. Some organizational cultures foster collaboration while others actively or inadvertently destroy shared decision-making activities. Reverse brainstorming is a method where participants identify different ways to cause a problem. These negative ideas are then used to stimulate ideas for solving the problem. This paper reports on a reverse brainstorming session during which knowledge management practitioners, consultants and academics generated ideas on how collaboration and knowledge sharing is destroyed in organizations, followed by positive ideas to promote effective, collaborative workplaces.

On the basis of the semantics of ontologies, information can be extracted from natural language texts, and on a further level of processing knowledge that facilitates BI can be discovered. However, in order to act this way, ontologies need to be properly modelled and evolved so that they are constantly aligned with changes that occur in the real world.
