The purpose of this chapter is to examine the requirements of Knowledge Management (KM) services deployment in a Semantic Grid environment. A wide range of literature on Grid Computing, Semantic Web, and KM have been reviewed, related, and interpreted. The benefits of the Semantic Web and the Grid Computing convergence have been investigated, enume...

This chapter investigates the status of knowledge management practices implemented across federal agencies of the U.S. government. It analyzes the extent to which this status is influenced by the size of the agency, whether or not the agency type is a Cabinet-level Department or Independent Agency, the longevity of KM Practices implemented in the a...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to mobilize organizations to look at knowledge management through the lens of the individuals whose knowledge they covet and to seek to leverage in order to establish a faster, more flexible and mutually supportive conduit to relevant knowledge and more sustainable knowledge contributions.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically assess the importance of knowledge management (KM) for sustainable development. Two main hypotheses about the critical success factors of knowledge and technology contribution to sustainable development are tested. Design/methodology/approach The research is carried out using surveys and intervie...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to deepen the theoretical understanding of the factors that increase or lessen employees' tendencies to engage in knowledge‐sharing behaviors. Further, through a framework of five‐steps, it directs a better future research and understanding of the relationships between national culture and the motivation of know...

Criteria for Knowledge Management (KM) help determine results. Our research indicated that widely accepted criteria and performance measures have not been developed for KM. This study was undertaken to establish a set of criteria to assess the effectiveness of KM for different types of organisations. Subsequently, we will discuss how to expand thes...

Purpose – Aims to impart new insights into the role of information technology (IT) in knowledge extraction, capture, distribution and personalization. The paper seeks to pin‐point the strengths and weaknesses of IT in the domain of knowledge management (KM) and to explain why the technology promise remains unfulfilled, as seen by many KM practition...

Dan Holtshouse started the Knowledge Initiative at Xerox ten years ago with the CEO's backing and positioned the initiative as a strategic imperative reporting into the Chief Strategy Office. Under Dan's mentorship, the Xerox Knowledge Management program has been cited as a benchmark for implementation in large global enterprises and has received o...

Numerous studies have highlighted the importance of trust in KM initiatives. However, very few have been conducted to quantify its effect and its relationship with other KM factors. The purpose of this study is to start filling this gap. Data from 101 US organizations involved in KM were collected. For each organization the level of usage of differ...

Traditional organizations with heavy internal competition, rigid functional silos and undue compartmentalization exhibit sub-optimal performance by inhibiting critical knowledge flows. Cross-functional teaming attempts to solve this problem by building organizational connections across functional silos. However, merely bringing members of formerly...

In 1999, the Software Productivity Consortium-a not-for-profit alliance of industry, government, and academia-asked our members to indicate which technological advances they need most urgently. Most respondents stressed the need to better leverage an increasingly vast and complex array of intellectual assets. Such assets represent today's new capit...
