Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to highlight changes in ISO 15189:2012 and ISO 15189:2007 concerning management review requirements and to present a management review checklist, which includes all the revised ISO 15189’s requirements. Design/methodology/approach – The recent revised and updated ISO 15189:2012 standard recommends a management review using a process approach and includes some additional topics. Findings – The management review is a key element in many quality management systems, including medical laboratory management systems in accordance with ISO 15189. The process approach enables laboratory top managers and personnel to achieve all the quality management system’s important inputs and outputs. Originality/value – As laboratory staff often encounter difficulties fully exploiting the management review process, this checklist helps laboratory staff carry out an effective management review covering all the quality management system’s important aspects.

Whereas knowledge management (KM) has gained much attention in the field of management science and practice as the eminent source of competitive advantage (e.g., Davenport & Prusak, 1998; Drucker, 1993; Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995; Probst, Raub, & Romhardt, 2003), one issue has been largely neglected: The aspect of mobility. Conventional solutions for knowledge management systems (KMSs) have in common that they are designed for stationary workplaces and consequently require the corresponding infrastructure—that is, personal computers and fixed-line network access. Thus, they do not cater for business processes in which workers move around in or outside the premises. The result is that knowledge support for mobile workers is often rather restricted, once a task has to be performed outside of the office.

Meta Analyses

Purpose – This paper aims to look at three management research papers, which are placed in dialogue with Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy. Design/methodology/approach – Notable research articles are subjected to a thorough de-construction and re-construction process, as they are examined through the lens of Gilbert Simondon’s ontological and epistemological perspectives. Findings – Some solutions to epistemological antinomies underpinning management science are proposed, by relying on Simondonian paradigms. Research limitations/implications – This paper involved no direct field study. The transcendental status of Simondon’s propositions is briefly called into question but is not addressed per se. Social implications – Showing the fuzziness, not to say irrelevance, of efforts to make a strict demarcation between business and society, as illustrated by qualitative meta-analyses of management science cases. Originality/value – Simondon’s importance is barely beginning to be acknowledged in the field of Social and Management Science. This paper takes a step toward rectifying this oversight by providing scholars with an introduction to his main concepts and illustrates how they might be transposed into management science by subjecting management scholarly papers to his “experiments of thought” approach.

Systems Effectiveness

Today, when the concepts of general quality management science are applied internationally, the certification of quality management systems has become not only the advantage but also the necessity in contemporary competition environment. The conclusions of researches carried out abroad implies the hypothesis that a part of the companies lacks a quality development experience and, as a consequence, are not able to employ all possibilities offered by ISO standards; such standards often become at least partially the attribute of formal administration. The comparison of 2001–2005 year indicators, describing the effectiveness of international standards in organisation of Lithuania with other countries provides the conclusions on the possibilities for a faster and more effective employment of international experience, while working according to the standards of ISO series.
