Knowledge management: A strategic agenda

Strategizing niceness in co-opetition: The case of knowledge exchange in supply chain innovation projects

“…This knowledgesharing dilemma is also known as the "boundary paradox" (Quintas, Lefrere, & Jones, 1997).…”

“…Quintas et al (1997) referred to this problem as "the boundary paradox"; where borders must be open for knowledge to flow, but core strategic knowledge, upon which survival depends, must be preserved. On similar grounds, Das and Teng (1998) define relational risk in terms of the probability that a partner does not cooperate, instead acting opportunistically and misusing the acquired knowledge.…”

An industry-level knowledge management model—a study of information-related industry in Taiwan

“…According to Hedlund's [33] concept of ''T-shape'' knowledge, knowledge enlarging could be divided in two, either extending or expanding [75,82,100]. Knowledge extending occurs when the existing knowledge is stretched in a vertical sense: the original knowledge body has been made deeper, more profound, and more perspicacious.…”

“…On the other hand, knowledge expanding happens when the existing knowledge is broadened horizontally: the original knowledge has been altered to integrate and diversify it. One famous example of knowledge expanding occurred when Koa (the biggest cosmetics brand in Japan) utilized its knowledge of surfaces science to produce notebook computer monitors [48,72,75]. Knowledge created through the socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization (SECI) process can trigger a new spiral of knowledge creation, expanding it both horizontally and vertically.…”

Extended Access Control and Recommendation Methods for Enterprise Knowledge Management System

“…Corporations tend to pay more and more attention on the subject of knowledge, thus shifting the business strategy from products-based to knowledge-based. Quintas et al [1] stated Knowledge Management (KM) is a process of managing knowledge, which aim to manage existing and acquired knowledge assents to meet needs for now and develop opportunities in the future. After that, KM and Knowledge Management System (KMS) has been a focus in both academic and industrial fields.…”
