In this context, Seddighi (2012) highlighted the links between SKM, innovation, growth processes and value creation in business enterprises. Based on this literature review's findings, two further research proposals were formulated: P6: SKM based on codification has an indirect impact on organisational performance through innovation.…”

This paper focuses on the first phase of research that sought to encourage discussion and to promote a better understanding of the effects of strategic knowledge management (SKM) on innovation and performance in the Portuguese footwear industry. The rationale for the research is based on the understanding that innovation has played a major role in the recent good performance of this industry, building up its global market share and increasing employment and value in the context of Portugal's economic recession. This empirical study, to our knowledge, is the first to examine the interface between SKM, innovation and performance in the footwear industry. The research used a qualitative methodology, gathering data through semi-structured interviews with three chief executive officers of footwear firms and three academic specialists in SKM and innovation. After doing content analysis, we found support for our initial expectation that SKM effects can be inferred whenever shifts in a firm's performance occur as a result of technological and/or organisational innovations. We further propose a model of relationships between SKM, innovation and performance, which will be assessed in a second phase using a quantitative approach.

Purpose -Unlearning has been one of the interesting and debatable construct emerged in studies of organizational behaviour. Discussion on this phenomenon precedes from interdisciplinary realms ranging from psychology to pedagogy approaching towards arena of business studies. Studies often question the applicability of its existence and practical applications. Starting from the base of unlearning this paper attempts to enfolds the multi-foci perspectives associated with unlearning. Aiming to analyse the construct, this paper provides an insight to definitional notions, account of existing stream of work, its unit of analysis at individual and organizational level and finally discussion of routines structured on unlearning perspective. Design/methodology/approach -A systematic analysis and review is proposed in order to study streams of literature existing on phenomenon existing on unlearning. This systematic review will help in stating various definitional notions of unlearning, identifying the theoretical lenses applied, processes underlying the unlearning mechanism and extent of quantitative and qualitative studies carried out. Originality/value -As the study is conceptual in its nature, therefore it aims to contribute towards identifying and enhancing the literature of unlearningby identifying gaps and future avenues. Enlightening the applicability of unlearning in multiple sectors it enhances its dimensionality. Practical implications -Study can be helpful for managers and organizations, as unlearning is rooting from change management, which would provide new revelations for organization as useful tools. Review provides insights to areas which can be useful for future studies.

“…Given the critical role that public perceptions and attitudes have played in shaping the future of a number of knowledge-intensive scientific fields (e.g., nuclear power, genetic modification, and embryonic stem cell research) (Currall et al 2006;Seddighi 2015), a large number of studies have focused on understanding what drives and shapes perceptions and attitudes toward nanotechnology. 6 Findings show that factors like affect, trust, religiosity, familiarity, cultural values, political leanings, demographic characteristics, and attitudes toward other technologies play a role (see Kahan et al 2007Kahan et al , 2008Kahan et al , 2009Kahan et al , 2011Satterfield et al 2009;Cobb and Macoubrie 2004;Siegrist et al 2007Siegrist et al , 2008Siegrist 2008;Vandermoere et al 2010Vandermoere et al , 2011Scheufele et al 2009).…”

Market Potential and Economic Impacts of Food Nanotechnology Innovations

The study develops an analytical framework of heterogeneous consumers and imperfectly competitive suppliers to (a) examine the determinants of the market acceptance of a food nanotechnology innovation; (b) identify the exact conditions under which the innovation will be ineffective, nondrastic, and drastic; and (c) determine the effects of this technology on the interest groups involved. Analytical results show that high consumer valuations of the enhanced attributes enabled by nanotechnology can lead to consumer acceptance of nanofoods even when consumers are more averse to nanotechnology than conventional food technology. In most cases, the introduction of food nanotechnology leads to reduced quantities and prices of conventional and organic products, which result, in turn, in losses for nonadopting suppliers and benefits for all consumers. The greater is the degree of market power of food suppliers, the greater the reduction in the prices of conventional and organic products and the greater the losses of these suppliers due to the introduction of the food nanotechnology innovation. While all consumers can benefit from the introduction of nanofood innovations, the effect of these innovations on consumer welfare is asymmetric, with the group of consumers benefiting the most being case-specific and dependent on the relative quality ranking of the nanofoods and their conventional counterparts.
