“…Product innovation is enhanced when organisational members exchange information, insights, skills, lessons learned, and experiences [17]. The knowledge-based view suggests that organisations need to generate as well as share knowledge [13], [27]. When knowledge is used, learning takes place which in turn leads to changes of behaviour and innovation [2], [28].…”

“…It is embedded in the minds of people, is accumulated through learning, and experiences, and developed through conversations, workshops, job training, and social interaction. In contrast to tacit knowledge, explicit knowledge denotes knowledge that is articulated, objective, externalised and captured, and has a more tangible format [13].…”

Abstract-Knowledge is recognised the most significant resource for competitive advantage and the key to enhancing innovation. Knowledge sharing (KS) is considered to be a building block of efficient performance within higher education environments and to play a key role in enhancing the innovation of universities. The aim of this paper is to explore the effect of knowledge sharing on product innovation in Iraqi public higher education institutions. Structural equation modelling (SEM) with AMOS 20 was used, the results found that knowledge sharing play a pivotal role in enhancing product innovation within higher education environment.

“…Lorentzen (2005Lorentzen ( , p.1019 pointed out that "the social process of learning requires a social environment which encourages knowledge sharing among individuals and groups." A central issue in considering the impact of collective intentionality on Olympic legacy construction with respect to sports development outcomes concerns understanding how knowledge is shared, created and utilized through interactions in a shared context (Nonaka and Toyama 2005). This attitude to learning clearly presents sports development as a knowledge-creating process where the new knowledge comes from the interactions between sport participants.…”

This study attempts to develop a research agenda for understanding the process of constructing a sustainable Olympic sports development legacy. The research uses a social constructivist perspective to examine the link between the 2012 London Olympic Games and sustainable sports development. The first part of the paper provides justification for the study of sport policy processes using a constructivist lens. This is followed by a section which critically unpacks sustainable sports development drawing on Mosse"s (1998) ideas of process-oriented research and Searle"s conceptualisation of the construction of social reality. Searle"s (1995) concepts of the assignment of function, collective intentionality, collective rules, and human capacity to cope with the environment are considered in relation to the events and discourses emerging from the legacy vision(s) associated with the 2012 London Olympic Games. The paper concludes by proposing a framework for engaging in process oriented research and highlights key elements, research questions, and methodological issues. The proposed constructivist approach can be used to inform policy, practice, and research on sustainable Olympic sports development legacy.

“…As for the challenge of classifying EA stakeholders by type, there is evidence of a growing awareness that EA stakeholders are not homogeneous and that the categories that have been proposed are still very broad and non-specific (Van der . Nonaka and Toyama (2005) have intimated that new knowledge is created through a circular process where subjective tacit knowledge held by an individual is externalised into objective explicit knowledge which is then used and embodied by individuals to enrich their subjective tacit knowledge. Gremy, Fessler and Bonnin (1999) argue that in any information system that includes human subjects as part of the system, any evaluation of the system must take into account those subjects' feelings, reactions, and behaviour.…”

This study identifies the perceived benefits of Enterprise Architecture (EA) among business stakeholders who are aware of EA but are not specialists in the field of ICT, and proposes a clearly differentiated and comprehensive cluster of stakeholder groups based on these perceptions. It provides an understanding of the benefits of EA from the perspective of business beneficiaries, not the perspective of its practitioners.The study was conducted using Q-methodology, which was developed specifically to uncover subjective perceptions and preferences. Q-methodology correlates people in respect of their perception of a sample of tests, and is particularly useful in bridging the sharp dichotomy between qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
