Effective management of all knowledge in an organization is a key criterion for innovation. Academic libraries are beginning to realize the importance of knowledge management in this regard. However, there are no quantitative studies studying knowledge management and service innovation in the context of libraries. Islam, Agarwal and Ikeda arrived at a framework for knowledge management for service innovation in academic libraries (KMSIL). Through a survey of 107 librarians from 39 countries, this study investigates the effect of knowledge management (and knowledge management cycle phases) on service innovation. The study found that knowledge capture/creation and knowledge application/use both significantly impact service innovation in academic libraries. The effect of knowledge/sharing and transfer on innovation was found to be insignificant. The study also demonstrated the relationship between the knowledge management phases. The findings support the KMSIL framework. They should help academic libraries in the process of service innovation by utilizing phases of the knowledge management cycle.

As environmental protection has gradually become the focus of enterprises’ development, employee green behavior becomes an important and key antecedent to study this issue, but there have been less studies conducted with knowledge management. As a result, drawing on the theory of planned behavior and the organizational support theory, this study investigates how environmental knowledge practices (environmental knowledge sharing and environmental knowledge application) affect employee green behavior by using a questionnaire survey administered to 266 employees in China to reveal their complex relationship mechanism. The results show that environmental knowledge application and environmental knowledge sharing have a positive effect on employee green behavior; environmental behavioral intention mediates the relationship between environmental knowledge application and employee green behavior, and between environmental knowledge sharing and employee green behavior; green perceived organizational support positively moderates the relationship between environmental behavioral intention and employee green behavior. The findings shed new light on the development of employee green behavior literature and provide practical reference for strategies related to environmental protection for managers.

Knowledge management focuses on capturing and sharing knowledge. Because of this, KM researchers tend to focus on issues related to knowledge capture, storage, and sharing. However, because knowledge is valuable, it is a target needing to be protected. This chapter posits that KM researchers and practitioners also need to think about security and explores how important security skills are to KM practitioners and researchers. A literature review was performed to determine how much attention is paid by KM researchers to knowledge security. Additionally, KM job postings were examined to determine if security skills are considered important by those hiring KM practitioners. Next, a survey was prepared for exploring security attitudes of KM practitioners as an area of future research. Finally, future research areas for IS security are proposed that can greatly benefit from lessons learned in the areas of both knowledge sharing and knowledge sourcing.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of knowledge sharing (KS) and two specific types of innovation on competitive advantage in Vietnamese firms. Based on using structural equation modeling (SEM) and survey data collected from 225 participants, the findings reveal that KS directly and indirectly affects firm’s competitive advantage through the mediating role of innovation speed and innovation quality. The findings stress the important role of building a positive climate to stimulate employees for sharing knowledge aimed at improving firm’s innovation capability, and sustaining competitive advantage. Future research needs to explore the relationship between three components of knowledge management namely knowledge acquisition, KS, and knowledge application, innovation, and specific aspects of competitive advantage (such as low cost advantage, differentiation advantage, and time advantage) to provide deeper the mechanism of how specifics aspects of knowledge management connected with firm’s certain types of competitive advantage through innovation.

Knowledge management (KM), a process of acquiring, converting, applying, and protecting knowledge assets, is crucial for value creation. The purpose of this research is to empirically test the relationship between KM processes (knowledge acquisition, knowledge conversion, knowledge application, and knowledge protection), entrepreneurial orientation (EO), and firm performance. Data were collected from 159 small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia using a cross-sectional survey. This research uses partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and WarpPLS version 7.0 to test the model. The results show that three of four KM dimensions: knowledge acquisition, knowledge conversion, and knowledge protection are positively related to performance. Moreover, EO has been found to moderate the relationship between knowledge application and performance positively.

Alih daya (outsourcing) sistem informasi atau sering kali disebut sebagai pengadaan sistem informasi dapat diartikan sebagai pengalihan sebagian atau seluruhnya fungsi sistem informasi dari sebuah organisasi kepada penyedia layanan eksternal, untuk memperoleh keuntungan ekonomi, teknologi dan strategis. Namun mendapatkan keuntungan dari outsourcing sistem informasi bukanlah hal yang mudah; terdapat beberapa faktor yang harus diperhatikan untuk mendapatkan keseluruhan keuntungan dari outsourcing sistem informasi, sehingga suatu organisasi dapat dikatakan berhasil dalam outsourcing sistem informasinya. Di lain pihak, penerapan Knowledge Management (KM) diartikan sebagai sebuah proses dari Knowledge Management yang disebut siklus pengetahuan (knowledge cycle), dimana terdapat kegiatan pembuatan (creation), penyebaran (sharing), dan penggunaan (application) pengetahuan didalamnya. Pada kebanyakan organisasi, KM dianggap sebagai faktor utama untuk memperoleh dan mendukung keunggulan bersaing. Selanjutnya, pengetahuan juga dianggap sebagai faktor sangat penting dalam keberhasilan outsourcing sistem informasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji hubungan antara penerapan Knowledge Management (knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, dan knowledge application) pada keberhasilan outsourcing sistem informasi melalui faktor penentu pengadaan sistem informasi (kualitas komunikasi dan kualitas kerjasama). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan melibatkan 66 manajer proyek sistem informasi pada sektor telekomunikasi di Indonesia. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa knowledge application sebagai tahap akhir pada penerapan KM memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap kesuksesan outsourcing sistem informasi melalui kualitas komunikasi dan kualitas kerjasama. Pada akhirnya, menyediakan model penerapan knowledge management dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu panduan bagi organisasi dalam melakukan outsourcing sistem informasi untuk mencapai kesuksesan dan memperoleh keseluruhan keuntungan dari outsorcing sistem informasi tersebut.
