Knowledge Management: An Overview of Research Trends

“…Citation classics can help boost national citation indicators promoting authors and in turn help in the development of international works. Taking these factors into account, citation classics allow researchers to measure the relative impact of their work on their chosen discipline (Serenko and Dumay, 2015a). …”

“…Analys i ng citation classics by identifying the topics, frameworks and methods used in the relevant studies based on KM helps us yield the necessary information to make a decision regarding where KM is going as a discipline. According to Serenko and Dumay (2015a), the KM discipline is at the pre-science stage but has been gradually progressing towards academic maturity. Drawing from their argument that in an established and advanced field, critical works based on empirica l evidence should be given more account than normative studies which are based on literature reviews and viewpoints it can be said that should the citation count of empirical citation classic articles be higher than that of normative citation classics the field in question has matured into a normal science.…”

The Evolution of the Virtuality Phenomenon in Organisations: A Critical Literature Review

“…Teams that accomplish tasks which require higher team interdependence will be considered more virtual, if information is exchanged over electronic tools with asynchronous modes of communication. et al (1995) and Jarvenpaa and Leidner (1998) (Hackman, 1987;Alderfer, 1977) Even though the normative theory of science acknowledges that the contribution of past research within a certain field can be measured best by analysing the citing behaviour of researchers, social constructivist theory, on the other hand, argues that citation analysis is not the best way to illustrate the theoretical development of a concept, because concepts socially evolve over time (Serenko & Dumay, 2015). Moreover, past research delivers evidence that authors are prone to cite studies that are published by well-known researchers or in reputable journals, which are not necessarily scientifically and theoretically the most reflective ones (de Villiers & Dumay, 2013).…”

Knowledge management assessment in Petrochemical industries

“…The objective of this research was to help understand and identify the key factors in sharing social knowledge networks and to present a framework for effective sharing of a mechanism for adding to usefulness of social networks. Serenko and Dumay (2015) carried out a study on the key success factors in the employment of the knowledge management system for the pharmaceutical industry. They identified seven factors as the factors involved in the success of knowledge management systems: 1) imitation strategy and effective knowledge structure; 2) organizational culture; 3) information system infrastructure; 4) involvement and training of people; 5) leadership and strong commitment of senior management; 6) learning environment and resource control; 7) evaluation of professional training and team work.…”

“…It examines the intensity of relationships through a scoring process, searches for feedbacks with significance, and accepts inalienable relations. Different steps of DEMATEL are as follows: designing a questionnaire and collecting information on relative dependence of criteria based on expert opinions; calculating the direct relationship matrix (M ); calculating the normal direct relationship matrix (M); calculating the total relations matrix (direct and indirect dependency) (T); calculating the normal matrix of total relations with an acceptance threshold; mapping network relations based on the R and J vectors (Serenko & Dumay, 2015).…”
