Follow this layout: · subject matter of the paper and contribution(s) · proceedings/approach) and findings · outcomes /result/findings. USE these samples from the 11th European Conference on knowledge Management : Sample 1 Labour Market Adjustment and Intra-Industry Trade: The Portuguese Case Abstract: This manuscript examines the structure of Portugal’s manufacture sector. We have examined the Portuguese labour market adjustment, using a panel data approach over the period 1995 - 2006. First, we use industry-specific control variables. Second, we show different framework for adjustment cost. Our results are support for the smooth-adjustment hypothesis (SAH) of intra-industry trade. The results show a negative correlation between changes of employment and marginal intra-industry trade (MIIT) and a positive correlation between changes of employment and knowledge. International technology diffusions will be associated with changes in labour market.. Sample 2 Exploring Knowledge Management Initiatives in a Multinational Company Abstract: This study examines the implementation of knowledge management (KM) initiatives in a multinational corporation operating in the marine insurance industry. Through a case study approach we collected data in five locations of the firm, and were able to identify both formal top-down KM initiatives set off from the company’s headquarter as well as local KM projects initiated from the branch offices. Firstly, the paper illustrates that bottom-up, informal KM initiatives as such may facilitate knowledge workers more than formal top-down KM initiatives. This is also supported by one body of former KM research. Secondly, findings indicate that an intangible and dynamic corporate memory embedded in the networks’ repertoire, is better off for mobilizing knowledge throughout the organization compared to explicit knowledge saved in a document management system for reusing purposes. Sample 3 Knowledge Conversion and Social Networks in Driving Team Performance Abstract: The author of this paper aims to find out how different processes of knowledge management and patterns of social networking affect team performance. Our data on teams originate from a sample of different organizations from a variety of both public and private industries in Finland (76 teams; 499 employees). Our aim was to put the team phenomenon into an everyday context by analyzing the interplay of knowledge creation and social networks in teams which function on a permanent basis. Both knowledge creation and social networking proved to be drivers of performance, but the results showed that whereas team members see the knowledge conversion processes as central to performance, top management emphasize the importance of social networks in value creation. In our examination, lively within-team interaction combined with leaders’ access to the host organization was found to be the key to team performance. | Устный опрос, высказывание по вопросам заданий и видео | |
