“…The current analysis extends this work to determine when and how privacy discussions and decisions emerge within application software development, and what encourages these discussions and decisions to take place. Studying the emergence and character of privacy discussions necessitates studies of work practice, long important within organizational studies (Cetina et al 2001;Davenport and Hall 2002;Orlikowski 2007), to understand how actors collectively create behavioral norms through social and material interactions. For example, Gurses and van Hoboken (2017) have written about the ways that a shift from ''waterfall'' to ''agile'' software development practices has influenced how privacy is defined and governed in software.…”

Privacy is a critical challenge for corporate social responsibility in the mobile device ecosystem. Mobile application firms can collect granular and largely unregulated data about their consumers, and must make ethical decisions about how and whether to collect, store, and share these data. This paper conducts a discourse analysis of mobile application developer forums to discover when and how privacy conversations, as a representative of larger ethical debates, arise during development. It finds that online forums can be useful spaces for ethical deliberations, as developers use these spaces to define, discuss, and justify their values. It also discovers that ethical discussions in mobile development are prompted by work practices which vary considerably between iOS and Android, today's two major mobile platforms. For educators, regulators, and managers interested in encouraging more ethical discussion and deliberation in mobile development, these work practices provide a valuable point of entry. But while the triggers for privacy conversations are quite different between platforms, ultimately the justifications for privacy are similar. Developers for both platforms use moral and cautionary tales, moral evaluation, and instrumental and technical rationalization to justify and legitimize privacy as a value in mobile development. Understanding these three forms of justification for privacy is useful to educators, regulators, and managers who wish to promote ethical practices in mobile development.

“…Incentives such as recognition, promotion and monetary rewards, help companies in building a collaborative culture (Wang and Noe, 2010) and "in aligning the interests of employees and organizations" (Scekic et al, 2013). It stimulates knowledge sharing and contributions to knowledge repositories (Bartol and Srivastava, 2002) and enhances trust among organization"s members (Davenport and Hall, 2002). It also improves work productivity (Charoenngam and Teerajetgul, 2006).…”

“…It also improves work productivity (Charoenngam and Teerajetgul, 2006). Organizational incentives and rewards systems encourage employees to share the best practices and ideas (Davenport and Hall, 2002). The study of Gururajan and Hafeez-Baig (2012) indicates that these factors are significant determinants of knowledge management enablers among Indian companies.…”

In today"s complex and dynamic environment, survival and competitiveness of companies are based on their capacity to continuously create and use new knowledge. In this perspective, this paper focuses on the enabling factors that boost Knowledge Creation Process (KCP) within organizations. On the basis of previous studies, this research examines the most important factors that have been recognized to be critical for KCP: collaboration, trust, learning, incentives and rewards, decentralized and low formalized structure, T-shaped skills Business Management and Strategy ISSN 2157-6068 2014 www.macrothink.org/bms 2 and information technology (IT) support and transformational leadership. The purpose of this paper is also to examine the relationship between KCP and innovation performance. Conceptually, we develop a research model highlighting the relationship between all these variables. This model was tested using structural equation modeling within Tunisian ICT sector. Based on a survey of 202 companies, results reveal that the best path for Tunisian ICT companies to foster knowledge creation is through incentives and rewards, collaboration, trust, learning, decentralized and low formalized structure and IT support. Findings show also that KCP significantly affects firms" innovation performance.

“…For epistemologists (Davenport and Hall 2002), knowledge performance is about exploring concepts of social or collective knowledge, for organisational knowledge, the performance is about the creation of organisational knowledge at a number of levels (the workgroup, the firm, the sector) for improving productivity, and for designers, the performance is about interactions with artifacts. Knowledge performance in these communities of practice seeks interplay of the tacit and explicit knowledges between the individual, collective, and the social.…”
