Abstract. Knowledge exchange via social media is crucial for organizational success. Yet, many employees only read others’ contributions without actively contributing their knowledge. We thus examined predictors of the willingness to contribute knowledge. Applying social identity theory and expectancy theory to knowledge exchange, we investigated the interplay of users’ identification with their organization and perceived usefulness of a social media tool. In two studies, identification facilitated users’ willingness to contribute knowledge – provided that the social media tool seemed useful (vs. not-useful). Interestingly, identification also raised the importance of acquiring knowledge collectively, which could in turn compensate for low usefulness of the tool. Hence, considering both social and media factors is crucial to enhance employees’ willingness to share knowledge via social media.

Common Situation

Universities and corporates, in Europe and the United States, have come to a win-win relationship to accomplish goals that serve research and industry. However, this is not a common situation in Latin America. Knowledge exchange and the co-creation of new projects by applying academic research to solve company problems does not happen naturally.To bridge this gap, the Design School of Universidad de los Andes, together with Avianca, are exploring new formats to understand the knowledge transfer impact in an open innovation network aiming to create fluid channels between different stakeholders. The primary goal was to help Avianca to strengthen their innovation department by apply design methodologies. First, allowing design students to proposed novel solutions for the traveller experience. Then, engaging Avianca employees to learn the design process. These explorations gave the opportunity to the university to apply design research and academic findings in a professional and commercial environment.After one year of collaboration and ten prototypes tested at the airport, we can say that Avianca’s innovation mindset has evolved by implementing a user-centric perspective in the customer experience touch points, building prototypes and quickly iterate. Furthermore, this partnership helped Avianca’s employees to experience a design environment in which they were actively interacting in the innovation process.

In recent years we’ve seen breakthrough research success in medicine and computer science enabled by novel technology advancements, data analyses capabilities and learning techniques. Despite this, quality care doesn’t have full cove­ rage even in developed countries and access to care is recognised as one of the biggest challenges to the global healthcare system. Bound with population growth in remote areas in developing regions, which lack skilled professionals and medical resources, as well as aging in developed countries this caused a strong need for increasing healthcare effectiveness. Enabled by development of cloud technologies, quick expansion of mobile network coverage and internet access Clinical Information Management Systems integrated with decision support systems, Telemedicine (inclu­ ding distributed Virtual Healthcare Teams and medical imaging), Mobile Healthcare, medical Internet of Things (mIoT), Consumer Health Informatics with personal intelligent health assistants, Health Information Exchanges and deep learning techniques for diagnostics and knowledge extraction are among the state-of-the-art solutions which are more or less successfully used for coping with the problem mentioned above. This paper reviews current situation with implementing these novel informational systems, analyses their advantages, drawbacks, implementation impediments and outcome effectiveness suggesting platform for empowering their integration and maximizing output of each module. Such solution will have a synergy effect and result in a drastic increase of medical resource utilization effectiveness, service quality and providing bigger and fuller coverage with less spending at the same time empowering knowledge exchange process and laying foundation for future development and innovations in the whole healthcare domain.
