Knowledge management, decision-making style and organizational performance

With the advent of the knowledge economy and the growing importance of knowledge societies, organizations are constantly seeking new ways of leveraging and sharing knowledge to support decision-making (DM) processes. This chapter presents an initial insight to the little-researched phenomenon of how knowledge management systems (KMSs) can facilitate knowledge sharing (KS) to support DM processes in organizations. In this chapter, authors aim to extend the existing literature of knowledge management, decision making, and knowledge sharing by proposing a new conceptual framework, namely “ECUA” (easiness, communication, unification, and analytics characteristics). In this study, 42 semi-structured interviews have been conducted. The proposed conceptual framework will benefit managers in both public and private sectors in finding new ways of leveraging and sharing knowledge to support DM processes via using KMSs. This framework can be used to explore KMSs characteristics that can support DM processes by facilitating knowledge sharing in organizations.

This chapter discusses issues to be considered in the development of a framework with advanced e-collaboration features for learning purposes. Having first identified the underlying requirements, we review enabling technologies and propose an approach that seamlessly integrates knowledge management, decision-making, argumentative discourse, and simulation issues. In addition, we comment on the extent to which our approach satisfies the needs of virtual learning communities and supports various learning methods such as learning by doing, conversational learning, and constructive criticism of an issue or an abstract idea. The proposed framework acts as a medium on which diverse knowledge and information sources can be attached, thus aiding people involved in a learning process to widen their perspectives and learn from past experience.

The Relationship

Abstract. Based on responses from 158 reward managers located at the headquarters or subsidiaries of multinational enterprises, the present study examines the relationship between the centralization of reward management decision making and its perceived effectiveness in multinational enterprises. Our results show that headquarters managers perceive a centralized approach as being more effective, while for subsidiary managers this relationship is moderated by the manager’s role identity. Referring to social identity theory, the present study enriches the standardization versus localization debate through a new perspective focusing on psychological processes, thereby indicating the importance of in-group favoritism in headquarters and the influence of subsidiary managers’ role identities on reward management decision making.
