Knowledge based generic model of intelligent networks and services

Literature on medium sized enterprises (MSEs) is limited both in developed markets and emerging markets. This paper addresses this gap and explores MSEs from a knowledge-based perspective. Grounded in the case based research often MSEs, the paper identifies the knowledge assets employed by highly successful firms. The paper performs a detailed case analysis of three such firms from our sample. We trace the knowledge generation process through a detailed line diagram and based on the case analysis, build a generic model for analyzing the knowledge conversion process in MSEs. The contribution of this work is articulated in the process model that integrates the various classes of knowledge assets in the context of transitional firms in India. The paper also develops a few empirically testable propositions, filling a major gap in existing literature on knowledge management.

On Farm

A software system (SAGE) was built for on-farm decision support. The objective was to provide a framework for constructing and deploying knowledge-based decision support in the areas of integrated pest management, fertilization, and field operations. The framework is open by design and includes a generic model of an agro-ecosystem as well as various mechanisms allowing for the continued growth in scope and function of the software. The SAGE system is designed to provide a number of building blocks and predefined decision-support strategies that can be adapted to specific needs and situations. It operates on a personal computer and is based on the use of an objectoriented technology for software construction and operation. A prototype of the system has been built and is being used to build commodity-specific decision-support modules.

Level Scheduling

Ship production planning and scheduling at higher levels do not explicitly consider scheduling details at the level of individual workshops. However, the schedule of major events in ship production is collectively influenced by the actual shop-level, short-interval production schedules, which depend on resource and material availability and also on the due dates and priorities of the workloads. This necessitates development of robust, resource-constrained, shop-level scheduling systems that can support higher-level schedules in ship production. WorkShip (Knowledge Based Systems, Inc., College Station, TX) is a software tool for scheduling workload over short, regular intervals in workshops of a shipyard. It is driven by a powerful scheduling engine that is based on a generic model of resource-constrained job-shop scheduling and an efficient scheduling technique. Similar scheduling systems are being developed in other shops so that all systems can be used in tandem to support higher-level scheduling and help achieve optimal productivity for the shipyard.

Insight Into

Orientation: Acknowledging the need for a deeper understanding of interpersonal communication as part of interpersonal leadership in knowledge-based organisational contexts.Research purpose: This study aimed to propose a theoretically based definition of constructive interpersonal leadership relations (ILRs) and a generic model of ILR with guidelines for fostering constructive ILR in knowledge-based contexts.Motivation for the study: Emerging trends showed knowledge-based organisations presented unique sets of challenges for constructive ILR in South Africa.Research approach/design and method: We conducted a qualitative study using the interpretivist research paradigm. Two convenience samples were used for the data collection: semi-structured in-depth interviews with eight experts in the field, and 31 questionnaires were sent to leaders or followers that examined the micro-perspective in knowledge-based organisations in South Africa. The data analysis and interpretation were performed by thematic analysis.Main findings: We established that the leader–follower dyad is the locus of interpersonal leadership, and that in constructive ILR, leaders or followers actively and mutually nurture the leader–follower dyad, that leaders oversee these relationships without using a formal hierarchy and that the leader–follower interaction has meaning on informational and relational levels.Practical/managerial implications: The findings can be used by leaders in knowledge-based organisations as useful guidelines to create and maintain an organisational environment that is supportive of constructive ILR.Contribution/value-add: This study provides insight into personal attributes relevant for ILR in knowledge-based organisational contexts.

Abstract. Research demonstrates that the negative relationship between Openness to Experience and conservatism is heightened among the informed. We extend this literature using national survey data (Study 1; N = 13,203) and data from students (Study 2; N = 311). As predicted, education – a correlate of political sophistication – strengthened the negative relationship between Openness and conservatism (Study 1). Study 2 employed a knowledge-based measure of political sophistication to show that the Openness × Political Sophistication interaction was restricted to the Openness aspect of Openness. These studies demonstrate that knowledge helps people align their ideology with their personality, but that the Openness × Political Sophistication interaction is specific to one aspect of Openness – nuances that are overlooked in the literature.
