This study proposes a structural model of the causal relationships that organizational, strategic, technological, and implementation factors have with knowledge management (KM) processes, as well as those between KM processes and the implementation factors for knowledge management systems (KMSs) at higher education institutions (HEIs) in Latin America. The exogenous variables are: culture of sharing, leadership, KM approach, knowledge map, information management strategy, and ICT. In turn, the endogenous variables are: KM processes, system quality, service quality, KMS use, and user satisfaction. A causal, explanatory, cross-sectional, and ex post facto multivariate study was carried out, using a hypothetical–deductive approach. The sample consisted of 374 individuals (academics, administrators, and researchers), belonging to 193 HEIs across 15 Latin American countries. The resulting model presents a partial fit to the data, confirming the explanatory relationships between 12 of the variables. Based on the results obtained from calculation of the direct and indirect effects observed for each of the endogenous variables of the model, the following goodness of fit indices were calculated: absolute (χ2 = 48.908, P-value= .059, PCMIN= 1.397, RMSEA= .075, FMIN= .689) and incremental (GFI= .894, IFI= .790). It is concluded that leadership, KM approach, knowledge map, and ICT positively influence KM processes; KM processes have a causal relationship with system quality and service quality; and system quality and service quality have an influence on KMS use and user satisfaction.

Knowledge management (KM) has become an important term in the construction industry. Knowledge management involves creating, securing, capturing, coordinating, combining, retrieving, and distributing knowledge. Most know-what, know-how, and experience exists only in the minds of individual participants during the construction phase of construction projects. The knowledge can be reused and shared among the involved engineers and experts to improve the construction process and reduce the time and cost of solving problems. Sharing and reusing knowledge depends on acquiring and preserving of both tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge as the property of a corporation. This study addresses application of knowledge management in the construction phase of construction projects and proposes a construction activity-based knowledge management (ABKM) concept and system for general contractors. This chapter proposes a practical methodology to capture and represent construction project knowledge by using knowledge maps. Using knowledge maps, users can get an overview of available and missing knowledge in core project areas and take appropriate management in tacit and explicit knowledge. Also, a Web-based system is developed to assist and present project-related knowledge by providing keyword and map search on the Internet environment. The ABKM system is then applied in a case study of a construction precast building project in Taiwan to verify our proposed methodology and demonstrate the effectiveness of sharing knowledge special in the construction phase. By effectively using information and Web technologies during the construction phase of a project, knowledge can be captured and managed to benefit future projects. The combined results demonstrate that an ABKM-like system can be an effective tool for all experts and engineers participating in construction projects by utilising the knowledge management concept and Web technology.

This chapter looks at graphic strategies to reference knowledge and to make it more accessible through interactive knowledge maps. It discusses pragmatic ways of classifying knowledge maps to give an overview of their application contexts and formats. In the chapter, we show where and how the term knowledge map has been previously used and which criteria must be met in a sound and useful knowledge map classification that can support knowledge management processes and strategies. Various classification principles are presented and discussed. A table then matches map formats to knowledge management purposes and knowledge-related contents in order to serve as a selection and organizing framework. Examples of some of the main types of knowledge maps are presented to illustrate the varieties of knowledge mapping present in the classification. The article concludes by discussing its limitations and future research questions in the area of knowledge mapping.

Innovation is more and more important for enterprises or most of organizations, but the results of many innovation activities are not satisfied. We find that the reason lies on insufficient knowledge management which can not supply systematic knowledge to support the requirement of innovation. Even worse the lacked knowledge is seldom been aware of. By studying on the Extension Theory (Extenics) and web intelligence, we proposed a novel knowledge management methodology called Intelligent Knowledge (IK) management. It can integrate knowledge from different sources such as human experience, the web or data base and construct a systematic knowledge map for product innovation. It gives a way to compensate the limitation of human knowledge and help people to find more ideas based on all-direction knowledge supported by information technology and Extenics. Its application in an electric company shows that IK-based product innovation is a useful model.

The purpose of this paper is to measure the perceived importance and practical establishment of five factors affecting successful establishment of knowledge management (KM) in banking informatics corporations in Iran based on Barney model. The five Factors examined include business strategy, organizational structure, knowledge management team, knowledge accounting, and knowledge map. For this purpose, 24 questionnaire surveys were distributed among three leading organizations of brilliant history in banking informatics services. The middle and senior managers were selected as sample using simple random method. The findings showed that the managers were averagely aware of the importance of factors influencing knowledge management establishment. However, these factors are given less attention regarding practical establishment. Following the survey, the five factors were rated. Regarding the perceived importance, organization strategy was the most important factor in the success of knowledge management. Other factors are ranked in order of importance: organizational structure, knowledge management team, knowledge map, and knowledge audit. Overall, all the factors contributing to the success of knowledge management in the banking organization are considered to have medium importance, but these are less executed.

This chapter proposes a framework for designing knowledge management system (KMS) for R&D organization. Broadly, KMS comprises two principal modules: a process management module to administer knowledge activities to generate and utilize knowledge, and a contents management module to deal with knowledge contents, input and output of knowledge activities. The two modules are then materialized through two operational systems: workflow management system (WFMS) for R&D process and R&D knowledge management system (RKMS) for R&D contents. As a building block to integrate the two systems, workflow-based knowledge map is suggested. The authors admit that the research is an exploratory proposal that suggests merely a conceptual scheme. Therefore, it is required to elaborate detailed procedure and materialize real system.
