“…From the knowledge-based view, SPI implementation is commonly recognised as an organisational learning process (Dyba, 2005), because firms implementing SPI not only need to acquire external SPI-related knowledge or experiences, but also require employees to internalise these lessons (Mathiassen and Pourkomeylian, 2003;Alagarsamy et al, 2008). During the learning process, one important knowledge issue refers to the gap between the acquisition of external SPI-related knowledge and the use of the knowledge within a firm (Rus and Lindvall, 2002).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the relationships among absorptive capacity (AC), organisational culture (OC), and software process improvement (SPI) implementation success based on capability maturity model integration (CMMI). Specifically, the aim of this study is to understand the roles of potential and realised AC in SPI success. Design/methodology/approach This study proposes a research model and examines the relations among firm AC, SPI success, and OC. The authors surveyed 56 Taiwanese firms that adopted the CMMI-based SPI programme and received official certification. Findings The findings indicate that potential and realised AC have significantly positive effects on SPI success. In particular, realized (AC) partially mediates the effects of potential AC on SPI success. Furthermore, the effects of potential and realised AC on SPI success are significantly moderated by the adhocracy and hierarchy OCs, respectively. Research limitations/implications Given that the scope of this empirical study was limited to Taiwan, the findings might lack generalisability; however, this provides an opportunity for future research. Originality/value This is the first empirical study investigating the influence of AC on CMMI-based SPI success. The proposed research model also examines the moderating relationships of two types of OCs, namely adhocracy and hierarchy, on AC (potential and realized) and SPI success.

Knowledge management (KM) is essential ingredient of successful coordination in globally distributed software engineering. Various frameworks and KMSs have been proposed to foster coordination and communication between virtual teams but practical implementation of these solutions has not been found. Organizations have to face challenges to implement KMS. For this purpose a literature review has arranged to investigate about challenges that restrict organizations to implement KMS and then by keep in account these challenges the need of integrated solution in the form of standardized KMS that can easily store tacit and explicit knowledge, has found to facilitate coordination among virtual teams. Literature review has been already shown that knowledge is a complex perception with profound meanings, and one of the most important resources that contributes to the competitive advantage. In order to meet different challenges caused by not properly managing knowledge related to projects among virtual teams, we suggest making use of the cloud computing model. In this research a distributed architecture to support KM storage, conceptual framework of KM as a service in cloud has proposed. Framework presented in [33] is enhanced and conceptual framework of KM has embedded into that framework to store projects related knowledge for future use.

Empirical study of the evaluation of perspectives to knowledge capitalisation in Brazilian software industry

Knowledge capitalisation directs the activities of use, exploitation and reuse of knowledge for performing new tasks, including technical and management aspects. Specifically, considering software development, knowledge capitalisation demands an analysis that considers four complementary and interdependent perspectives on knowledge: value, security, utility and status. These perspectives focus on different facets according to which knowledge can be analysed, in addition to provide a foundation for a better awareness on knowledge and the necessary treatment. This study presents an empirical study with the purpose of evaluating the relevance of these perspectives by using a survey questionnaire distributed to software development companies in the Brazilian market. Three hundred thirty nine individuals from different 339 companies were subjects of such a study. The results indicate that the perspectives are relevant for evaluating knowledge and reinforcing the relevance of exploring knowledge capitalisation in software development; therefore, there is a clear understanding of how the knowledge assets involved can be analysed or assessed.
