This research aims at achieving the following goals:- the first one is to Identify the actual management of the agricultural agent in knowing the agricultural innovations represented by the following (knowledge diagnosis, the acquiring and generating of knowledge, knowledge updating, knowledge planning, knowledge application publishing and sharing of knowledge, organizing and storing knowledge, knowledge observation). The second one is to identify the role of knowledge management of agricultural agent in improving the extension and field activities, the next one is to find out the relation between the aspects of the role of management of agricultural agent in knowing the agricultural innovation with improving the extension activities as well as identifying the barriers that prevent the application of the management of agricultural agent in knowing the agricultural innovation according to the agricultural extension point of view.The population of the study includes the central provinces of Iraq consisting of (8) ones. A sample was taken randomly on rate of (%50) the provinces are (Baghdad, Najaf, Karbala, Babylon) (564)ones. The random graded proportional (%40) sample was taken from the agricultural agent distributed on the previous provinces they one (564) ones (134) for each province. In order to achieve these goals, a questionnaire has been prepared to collect the data from the agricultural agent. The questionnaire consists of (101) items distributed over three aspects (65) items in the field of agricultural agent management in knowing the agricultural innovations distributed over (8) aspects. (23) items for improving the extension activities and (13) items for the obstacles that prevent the application of agricultural innovations knowledge. The researcher has reached to the following results:--The knowledge diagnosis process in knowing the agricultural innovation is regarded one of the most important demand to achieve the extension activities and it also takes number because of its importance by the agreement of the researchers. The probable mean amount is (3,14) and the percentage weight is (78,7) while knowledge organizing takes last position according to the researchers by probable mean amount (3,27) and percentage weight (%87,75). -There is a correlation and statistical relation between the management of the agricultural agent in knowing the agricultural innovations and improving the extension activities. The researcher has recommended the following:The importance of raising the level of knowledge management application in instructional organizations by giving the agricultural agent more authorizations which ensure the application of their knowledge in the instructional field.The researcher has also recommended to establish an administrates units to organize the effort of knowledge management in the instructional organizations and it should be independent and have a connection with senior management it could be joined to the management of developing administration department as well as it should be qualified by experts and the agricultural agent should be qualified in technical field through enroll them in training courses according to their needs and the requirements of the instructional work.

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.

Innovative Culture

This study presents the moderating effect of innovative culture on the relationship between knowledge management and firm innovativeness. The consequences of organisations that do not practice innovative culture would result in their inability to respond and react effectively to changes in the dynamic nature of the business environment and henceforth unable to achieve superior performance. In attempting to answer the research questions, a total of 202 MSC Malaysia organisations took part in the survey. To assess the developed model, WarpPLS (version 7.0) was applied based on path modelling and then bootstrapping. The results highlighted that three of the four dimensions of knowledge management, namely knowledge acquisition, knowledge application and knowledge protection were positively and significantly related to firm innovativeness. On the other hand, innovative culture was found to moderate the relationships between knowledge acquisition and firm innovativeness; and knowledge application and firm innovativeness.

 The study investigates the pivotal role of knowledge management within the academic parlance which has a positive spiral and multiplier effects in a given economy by way of taking our dear country from the shackles of hunger, poverty, insecurity etc. It is clear that the effectiveness and efficiency of any organization/economy rest squarely on its level of knowledge: tacit and explicit. However, this knowledge must be critically studied, tapped, stored and disseminated. This study therefore looked at the concept of knowledge, management, its relevance and role in effective academic system and how knowledge management could contribute in taking a country like Nigeria out of the woods.

The Relationship

Management research has often overlooked the role of knowledge and knowledge management (KM) in the analysis of organizations and their performance. Also, the literature on KM is short of empirical evidence on the likely interrelatedness of the KM processes. This investigation adopted a research model and used data from 38 Egyptian software firms to examine: (1) the relationship of the KM processes of knowledge acquisition, documentation, transfer, creation, and application to organizational performance, and (2) a number of relationships within the KM processes themselves. The results suggest that knowledge application influences organizational performance, knowledge acquisition and knowledge creation influence knowledge application, and knowledge acquisition and knowledge transfer influence knowledge creation. Although they provide a limited support to the research mode, the results signify the value of continued examination and enhancement of such a model.

Knowledge Creation And Sharing

The software industry being highly knowledge-centric in terms of technology, process and people has been focusing on knowledge management strategically for the past two decades. Although the processes of knowledge creation and sharing are well researched, knowledge application is not well addressed. This study identifies project knowledge application and management support for knowledge application as the dimensions of knowledge application creating value to knowledge management in the software industry. Through a structural equation modelling approach, the relationships of management support for knowledge application, project knowledge application and effective knowledge management are tested. The findings show that the management support for knowledge application has an indirect effect—higher than a direct effect—on effective knowledge management through project knowledge application. The empirical study done on data collected from 540 software professionals of 170 National Association of Software and Services Companies-listed software companies proves the significance of knowledge application through management support and projects on effective knowledge management. But the role of management support is not as strong as project knowledge, and hence the organizations could enhance their culture of management support. The dimensions of knowledge application create value for people and process in software organizations by developing an environment of openness, collaboration and creativity, in addition to creating better response to changing environments which will help organizations to achieve the benefits of lean-agile software and system developments at scale.
