“…As health-care organizations exhibit a multitude of interdependent processes and interactions (Braithwaite, 2018), operational KRs are significantly represented in our proposed taxonomy as explained in Table 3. Examples of those discussed include acquisition risk (Durst and Zieba, 2017), especially with the current economic downturn and hospitals unable to secure the required resources and knowledge assets; complexity (Zincir and Rus, 2019), as demonstrated in the collaborative nature of medical services delivery; and outsourcing (Tadelis, 2007), which is a common practice in health care imperilling core knowledge assets.…”

“…2.2.3 Operations-related knowledge risks. Health-care organizations are complex entities, with a multitude of processes, interactions, teams and dependencies (Zincir and Rus, 2019). Thus, KM practices cut across most operational units and functions (Walburg, 2006;Karamitri et al, 2017) and identifying KRs within the operational landscape and managing them appropriately can help abolish or minimize their negative effects on operations and performance.…”

“…This could be hampered, thus jeopardizing the attainment of stated objectives (Lambe, 2013). c omplexity : refers to the multitude of inter-reliant processes, tools, teams, technologies and resources needed for the functioning of an organization and the delivery of its services (Zincir and Rus, 2019); integration : the process of onboarding new staff members of varying skill sets into existing departments, thus leveraging the combined conceptual knowledge and learnt techniques through a transfer and acquisition process (Baroody, 2003; Schneider, 2012); communication/exchange/transfer : according to Argote and Ingram (2000), knowledge transfer and exchange is the process by which a team or a department is affected by the work of another. It is seen as primarily a people-to-people process by Tangaraja et al (2016).…”

Purpose Knowledge is a critical factor for health-care organizations’ sustainability in today’s hyperconnected and technology reliant environment, which presents additional challenges and responsibilities for managing knowledge and its risks in medical practices. This paper aims at developing a taxonomy of knowledge risks (KR) within a health-care context, with relevant descriptions and discussion of their possible impact on health-care organizations. Design/methodology/approach As KRs have not been discussed yet within a health-care context, the authors reviewed relevant literature on KRs and challenges to knowledge practices in general contexts and in other industries. In addition, the authors reviewed literature on knowledge management (KM) in health care. The authors synthesized their findings and combined it with authors’ insights based on their experience in the health-care and KM fields to develop the taxonomy of KR, with contextual explanations and expounded on their potential effects on health-care organizations. Findings The authors propose and explain 25 types of KRs in health-care organizations and organized them into three categories: human, operational and technology. Practical implications Proper identification of clinical and administrative KRs plays a critical role in their effective management and remediation, thus improving the quality of care, promoting efficiency savings and ensuring health-care organizations’ sustainability. This paper will raise the awareness of KR among health-care professionals and offer researchers solid ground for more rigorous research in the field of KR and their management, within the health-care context in specific. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first to comprehensively discuss issues of KRs within a health-care context.

“…Inbound open innovation activities and outbound open innovation activities, which are the drivers and enabling factors (Galati et al, 2016), act as the input and output terminals respectively. Inbound open innovation enables an organization to explore the external knowledge sourced from outside the firm in order to create competitive advantage (Hung & Chou, 2013;Bianchi et al, 2011;Naqshbandi et al, 2016;Zincir & Rus, 2019;Sivam et al, 2019;De Beule & Van Beveren, 2019).…”

The prime objective of the research was to determine how the apparel manufacturing sector is embracing digitization and its leaders are preparing for the digital age? so we wanted to find out what type of leadership style is needed for digital leadership. The present study used a sample of 50 RMG companies. We investigated relationships between three variables, Internet od Things, use of digitization-automation, use of smart phones and apps. Further, the variables’ influence on digitization has been assessed through multiple factors leading to digitization by allotment of weightage for each factor. The findings in this paper supports two variables; use of automized digital machines and internet of things being significant whereas, use of smartphones and apps is insignificant. It implies that preparation for leading in the digital age remains limited which require change oriented leadership behavior at all levels. Limitations of the paper include the data which is specific to Bangladesh RMG industry, therefore it cannot be generalized, further the economic meltdown due to COVID-19 pandemic might have influenced the results. The paper’s prime contribution is based on the assessment of predictor variables and their influence that it makes in providing leadership in the digital age which demand change oriented behavior of leaders.

High-tech firms face constant innovation and challenges due to a rapidly changing tech environment. Open innovation strategies are an important solution for fostering rapid and efficient innovation by leveraging external capabilities. This study explores the critical factors that influence open innovation strategies in high-tech companies, assessing their importance and providing key insights for promoting these strategies. Through a comprehensive literature review and expert interviews, 16 key factors impacting open innovation were identified. A hierarchical research model was developed using the ser-M (subject, environment, resource, mechanism) framework, focusing on subject, environment, resource, and mechanism for a corporate strategy analysis. A survey and an AHP analysis were conducted with 30 participants, comprising engineers and open innovation experts, all with over a decade of experience in the field within Korean high-tech companies. The analysis focused on four critical elements: subject, environment, resource, and mechanism; subject emerged as the most critical factor for successfully implementing open innovation strategies. Specifically, the will of chief executives, the direction of decision-making, and technological environment changes were found to be significant contributors. The consensus between engineers and experts confirms that while environmental and resource factors are vital, strong leadership and effective decision-making are paramount for successful open innovation in high-tech companies.
