The Status

Nowadays, knowledge is considered as one of the most valuable assets of an enterprise which has to be managed efficiently and effectively in order to gain a competitive advantage in the knowledge economy era. Knowledge Management (KM) evolved into a strategic management approach, finding application not only in the business world but also in other areas such as education, government and healthcare. In this way, the new link between KM and KBD created the appropriate environment for the advent of a new concept in the scientific and practitioners’ communities, the concept of “Knowledge City” (KC). Nowadays, the theme of KCs is a ‘hot’ topic of interest and discussion. The process for developing a KC, is neither quick nor simple. This seems to be already understood by the research community, which the last few hears has begun to concentrate its efforts so as to develop appropriate frameworks, methodologies, tools, systems, etc so as to support the development of KCs. In this context, and given that there are still many pending issues, this article attempts to propose a taxonomy of KC research, by co instantaneously presenting the status with these major themes of KC research. The discussion presented on this article should be of value to researchers and practitioners.

Powerful Mechanism

Expansion of ”projectisation“ culture worldwide, ”internalization“ of projects and the inevitable growth of social media use globally calls for systematic and deeper insights from the strategic management viewpoint. Projects are defined as temporary organisations within various organisational bodies. In terms of the strategic management, temporary organisations are viewed as unique structural networking bodies that are anticipated to have their own strategy and management approach to meet project-based needs. Effective ”project communication“ plays a strategic role and can be an important enabler of social capital gains for organisations. Social media, as a new age phenomenon, are claimed to be the powerful mechanism that opens vast opportunities for collaborative communication. Their application in terms of temporary organisation is still underinvestigated area that lacks a researchers' attention. The aim of this research is to explore the potential of social media use in temporary organisations. The research study indicates that social media have a large potential for enhancing collaborative initiatives and collecting evidence for the strategic planning.
