Proposing a major (though envisaged synergetic) shift in the knowledge management (KM) paradigm needs to convince a skeptical audience. This article attempts such feat and motivates its conceptual considerations by fusing a wide scope of theoretical KM-related foundations in response to current KM unsustainabilities and emerging enabling technologi...

2021b published in ‘Sustainability’ Special Issue “Designing Artifacts/Tools for Increasing Sustainability”: This article expands on design science research (DSR) publications which—based on current knowledge management systems (KM/KMS) and practices—are conceptualizing and prototyping a novel more generative and knowledge-worker-centric approach...

(2022b) The integration of knowledge management (KM) and KM systems (KMS) within the ISO 9001:2015 and 30401:2018 standards, adds further legitimacy to KMS research, design, and applications. By allowing to prioritize one’s KMS approach of choice, the standards are meant to offer a common language to present an organization’s KMS comprehensively an...

Digital Entrepreneurship (DE) offers start-ups a range of affordances including the potential of rapid innovation based on better operational efficiency and agility. Its strategic, informational, transactional, generative, and/or transformational benefits may significantly up the odds for a start-up’s success. But digital dividends are not spreadin...

Advancing collective capacities relies on innumerable small ‘nano’-actions by individuals which govern, if effectively combined, any institutional (knowledge economy) and societal performance (knowledge society). In this endeavor, scaling people and knowledge connectedness present a key systemic strategy. Successive evolutionary ceilings have been...

As the new digital era is accompanied by accelerating change, people as well as institutions need to adapt and transform. Crucial for their success is how well leaders can cultivate the absorption and sharing of knowledge as a resource and its integration into the organisational endeavours. Innovative system designs may prove vital to providing cru...

The aim of strategic management is to create and sustain competitive advantage.

The subsequent evaluation determines the key success factors and problem areas. http://link.springer.com/chapter/10...

The lack of capable tools to support the configuration of quantitative planning models for strategic management has motivated the development of Meta-Planner. The following chapter discusses the quantitative planning process and the importance of the underlying model design. It presents a methodology to guide the meta-planning activities of the mod...

“Problem solving has to be supported by as many useful methods as possible, even if they originate from far-removed disciplines and do not correspond to the traditional way of thinking” [HUER81 8]. To fill this statement with substance, Hürlimann published a systematic inventory of more than 3000 problem solving methods.

Planning is a systematic-methodical approach for understanding and solving prospective problems. The main characteristics are its concern about information and future constellations, the rational rather than intuitive manner, the intention to structure and design and its process-orientation. Motivated by the ambition to secure effectiveness or effi...

An information system is an arrangement of components (people, activities, data, networks, technology) that are integrated for the purpose of supporting and improving the day-to-day operations in a business, as well as fulfilling the problem-solving and decision-making information needs of business managers [WHIT94 39]. They provide different level...

Meta-Planner is a knowledge based system rooted in the generic category of construction. Since there is no pre-determined construction plan for the model layout and initially no discriminations against any constellations, its objective is to support a corporate planner or management consultant (1) to select, parametrize and assemble basic planning...
