The manufacturing sector has been profoundly impacted by advances in project management knowledge. As a result, it is critical to optimize service development processes in every project. The aim of this research was to increase cement manufacturing production by applying knowledge management concepts and Knowledge management as a mediator. The study was conducted at various cement manufacturing facilities in Iraq's Kurdistan province. To quantify production improvement in cement companies, the researchers examined four facets of knowledge management: Knowledge creation, Knowledge storage management, knowledge sharing, and Knowledge application, with Knowledge management serving as a mediator. To conduct the current analysis, the researchers used a quantitative research approach in the form of a survey. The questionnaire was randomly distributed to 140 administrative employees of various cement manufacturing companies in the Kurdistan region. The researchers did, however, collect 128completed questionnaires. To assess developed research hypotheses, the study used hierarchical multiple regression analysis and the Sobel test. The findings indicated that all knowledge management elements (Knowledge creation, Knowledge storage development, knowledge sharing, and Knowledge application) had a clear and important positive relationship with increased production at carpet manufacturers in Iraq's Kurdistan region. Additionally, the findings indicated that all knowledge management concepts with a mediator (project management development program) had an indirect positive and important relationship with increased production at cement manufacturing facilities in Iraq's Kurdistan region.

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.

Management Context

The knowledge management (KM) literature in general is short on field evidence concerning knowledge sharing (KS) practices in project management settings, where knowledge occupies a central place. In addition, research on KS enablers and barriers has largely overlooked the fact that individual characteristics may influence the choice to share knowledge. This research explored departmental KS practices, enablers and barriers at a Middle-Eastern project management company. It also investigated the influence of a number of individual characteristics on KS, enablers and barriers. The findings confirm that Knowledge is partially shared within departments, and the employees have varying views on KS enablers and barriers. Although many do not perceive organizational enablers as catalysts for KS, they somewhat believe that the information technology (IT) enablers do facilitate KS. The employees, however, do not believe that the identified individual, organizational and IT barriers hinder KS. In addition, gender, age, department type and job type have varying effects on the perceived KS practices, organizational enablers, and IT enablers and barriers. These findings and their implications are further discussed in the paper.

Positive Effect

This chapter introduces the framework and causal model of organisational learning, knowledge management, knowledge-sharing behaviour, and organisational innovation. It argues that dimensions of organisational learning, knowledge management, and knowledge-sharing behaviour have mediated positive effect on organisational innovation. Knowledge-sharing behaviour positively mediates the relationships between organisational learning and organisational innovation and between knowledge management and organisational innovation. Organisational learning is positively related to knowledge management. Understanding the theoretical learning is positively beneficial for organisations aiming to increase organisational innovation and achieve business goals.

The knowledge economy impacts on the way enterprises should address their business requirements, forcing many of them to review the potential mechanisms they could employ to improve their competitive advantage. The business incubator approach is one such mechanism. This article explores the application of knowledge management, knowledge creation and innovation in a corporate incubator. It focuses on the process of knowledge management, to ensure that a culture and appropriate strategies conducive to enhancing knowledge creation are developed in an enterprise. Innovation as a strategic imperative is considered, as well as the challenge of driving it within an enterprise. The purpose of this empirical survey was to determine whether the corporate incubator model applied by Eskom conforms to the attributes of knowledge management, knowledge creation and innovation, and whether the synergies to be exploited amongst these disciplines can be harnessed to give Eskom a competitive advantage.
