Knowledge management aims to provide easy access and management of the information resource for the institutions and thus to create value by taking the right decisions. Since knowledge management has a decisive impact on the business performance and innovation process at different stages and requires a different knowledge management concept, enterprises should integrate innovation selection activities into knowledge management processes. Otherwise, businesses may face problems in the management processes of the information resources they have. The purpose of this chapter is to first specify the definition and tasks of knowledge management, then to examine the knowledge management processes and to correctly identify of the problems encountered in these processes to find and to implement effective solutions and to realize effective management of the knowledge management within the scope of organizational innovation. This study is very important for businesses with a large scale of the budget, human resources, corporate memory, and thus, a data source.

Recently the knowledge management processes are analysed as the main source of uniqueness for the organisations, while they are facing the challenge of implementing the most efficient processes that affect their performance (Chang, Hsu, & Yen, 2012; Kianto, Vanhala, & Heilmann, 2016; Raudeliūnienė & Meidutė-Kavaliauskienė, 2016; Raudeliūnienė, Davidavičienė, & Jakubavičius, 2018; Känsäkoski, 2017). The scientists distinguish different combinations of knowledge manage-ment processes in approaching the knowledge management process and analysis has shown that knowledge management processes, studied by most scientists, do not have a clear knowledge man-agement structure (García-Fernández, 2015; Raudeliūnienė et al., 2018). The purpose of this study is to examine the knowledge management concept and knowledge management cycle considering the different interpretations of scientists. The study is grounded on scientific literature review.

SummaryNowadays, innovation and innovativeness have become a key conditioning factor in the survival of an organization. The organizations should have a sufficiently high level of innovation capability to be able to effectively develop and implement new solutions. Currently, researchers are increasingly talking about knowledge management processes in the context of creating and developing innovation capability of an organization (e.g. Hussein et al. 2016; Wijekoon and Galahitiyawe 2016). As noted by Hussein et al. (2016), sharing knowledge in a dynamically changing business environment is gaining key importance for the success of an organization. Knowledge itself, on the other hand, is indicated as a key source of innovation in the literature on knowledge management (Wijekoon and Galahitiyawe 2016; Monferrer et al. 2014; Nonaka et al. 2000; Yesil et al. 2013).The purpose of this study is to show what kind of research problems / which research problems related to knowledge management in the context of creating and developing innovative capability are most often raised by representatives of science in the world and the second objective is an attempt to answer the question whether innovation capacity can be treated as a result of knowledge management processes.

PurposeConstructed upon a knowledge-based view, the purpose of this paper aims to empirically examine the entrepreneurial leadership impact as knowledge management enabler on knowledge management processes and knowledge management processes on project success. The study further ascertains the mediating role of knowledge worker satisfaction among knowledge management processes and project success.Design/methodology/approachUsing the data collected from 302 project workers from the software industry, China. The research used structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the hypothesis relationships using smart-PLS 3.2.9.FindingsThe outcome of the study reveals that entrepreneurial leadership has a substantial significant impact on knowledge management processes, and knowledge management processes influence project success via knowledge worker satisfaction as a mediator both directly and indirectly. Moreover, the study found partial mediation of knowledge worker satisfaction between knowledge management processes and project success.Practical implicationsThe current research identifies that entrepreneurial leadership may play a role in fostering knowledge management processes in project-based organizations (e.g. software industry) that can use the knowledge management processes to increase their chances of project success. More broadly, the current study contributes to the entrepreneurial leadership, knowledge management processes, knowledge worker satisfaction and project success existing literature and strengthens the relationship and suggest that how project manager's value knowledge worker satisfaction and help organizations gain competitive advantage and project success.Originality/valueAlthough there is an increased significance of knowledge management in the software industry, there is a lack of research that examines the enabling factors and outcomes of knowledge management practices. The present study is one of the first studies to ascertain the relationship of entrepreneurial leadership, knowledge management processes, knowledge worker satisfaction and project success. This is one of the initial researches that not only empirically examines the interrelationships among these variables but also enlighten insights into the current literature by instantaneous investigation of the mediating role of knowledge worker satisfaction.

As organizations in Singpore respond to the pressures of globalization, the adoption of knowledge management practices becomes more prevalent. In a hurry to implement this new business paradigm, organizations may have overlooked the influence of the cultural context which is commonly considered one of the pillars of knowledge management in a western-oriented organization. This paper examines what was overlooked by Singapore organizations while moving towards knowledge management. Specifically, it studies the impact of organizational culture on knowledge management processes. A review of literature shows that there is a relationship between cultural factors and knowledge management processes. This relationship is reflected in a research model that helps to answer research questions and to formulate hypotheses for testing. The result indicates that knowledge management should consider not just the technological aspects of implementation but also the cultural, leadership and contextual aspects of an organization.
