This paper conducts a systematic literature review on knowledge management (KM) in the context of startups in order to analyze the state of the art, identify research gaps and define a future research agenda. The main findings highlight that, even though there is an increasing number of papers on the topic of KM in startups, several issues are still neglected. Specifically, the paper identifies four main gaps in the body of literature. The first gap deals with the environmental and socio-political factors influencing the adoption of KM in startups. The second gap regards the lack of a comprehensive taxonomy of knowledge management systems (KMSs) that may support the processes of knowledge creation, acquisition, storage, transfer, sharing and application. This second gap allows us to identify a third gap concerning the level of alignment between startup's strategies and technologies adopted. Finally, the fourth gap deals with the issue of the impact of KM on startup's performances with regard to economic, financial, market, technical, technological, organizational, human and relational performance. From these four gaps, six research questions (RQs) have been proposed. These RQs allow us to identify possible areas of analysis to define a future research agenda. Neglecting these issues means underestimating all the possible advantages of KM adoption for a startup to achieve efficiency, effectiveness and scalability goals.

“…According to Calvo-Mora et al (2015) organizations need to establish an appropriate management system to achieve success, irrespective of the sector, size or structure. Here, the EFQM Excellence Model sets out a practical and nonprescriptive management system that allows organizations to (Suárez et al 2014): (1) prepare a basic structure for the design, implementation and improvement of a comprehensive management system; (2) evaluate their position on the path towards excellence, identifying their strengths and weaknesses as a starting point for the establishment of strengthening and improvement plans; (3) prepare a common framework and language that favors effective communication within the structure and (4) systematically integrate the strategic planning and interest group orientation into their management.…”

Authors have analyzed pilot project where the EFQM excellence model and ESG are applied to the process of the strategic planning. Based on Riga Technical University's pilot project this article describes the role of EQFM excellence model and its impact on reaching the strategic targets set by the higher education institution. Authors have analysed and within focus groups explored the EFQM excellence model and ESG, identifing most critical aspects and facotrs of application process to strategic planning and quality assurance. Based on lessons learned authors have suggested a set of activities Riga Technical University should introduce to improve the strategic planning, structure of internal processes and quality management.

Tacit knowledge sharing is the real challenge for knowledge management today. Network economy has completely changed the role of knowledge workers who now become independent tacit knowledge producers. Bearing this fact in mind, the author studied how tacit knowledge sharing affects the process of building a personal brand and project performance. For this purpose, the authors conducted a study among Polish professionals with different roles and experience in managing projects in various industries. The data collected during the study has been analysed using the equal structural modelling method. The results indicate that tacit knowledge sharing is used when developing a personal brand of knowledge workers who take care about the personal reputation. The intermediary role of personal branding in the relationship of tacit knowledge sharing and project performance points to a new context of tacit knowledge sharing as a key factor of knowledge management in learning organisations, which can be used for designing incentive schemes. Tacit Knowledge Sharing is also presented as a very sensitive and specific variable interesting for further research.
