“…One of the most widely used conformity assessment procedures is certification, and the concept of certification is very closely linked to the concept of conformity assessment which includes the evaluation of a particular subject, determining whether it meets the necessary requirements [19,20]. Due to the fact that the need for sustainability and open innovation is getting bigger worldwide [4,5,[21][22][23][24], understanding the process of certification of persons and its related issues leads to a socially responsible and sustainable process [25] that does not end with obtaining the certificate, but continues by putting forward a certified person's professional competence development. In order to assess ways of improving competence assessment procedures for certification of persons in the future, especially in the field of construction where there are potential risks to human health and life, it is necessary to study and analyze the theoretical aspects of certification.…”

Nowadays, sustainability issues are gaining more and more topicality in the context of improving organizational processes, including in the field of conformity assessment. In the field of certification of persons, competence assessment institutions have also become interested in using new approaches as the quality of assessment execution does not fully meet the requirements of stakeholders regarding the ability of a person to apply the acquired knowledge and skills in situations related to the professional activity. The aim of the research is to analyze the aspects of professional competence assessment related to the certification of persons and its performance according to the stakeholder requirements in order to develop a new sustainable approach to the process of certification of persons that would ensure the quality and reliability of its execution. Qualitative and quantitative research methods have been used to analyze the elements of the concept of certification of persons and the main elements of the concept of professional competence. As a result of the research, a new sustainable approach to certification of persons is offered, where certification of persons transforms from a conformity assessment procedure into a professional competence assessment process and ensures that a person’s ability is assessed not only in accordance with the industry requirements, but also with the stakeholder needs.

“…Chau et al (2017) sought to justify the low performance of the United Kingdom against the knowledge and technology transfer of organizations. Dubickis and Gaile-Sarkane (2017) reviewed the literature for the tacit dichotomy against explicit knowledge. Frishammar et al (2015), in turn, found out that the process of knowledge leak is multidimensional, pointing out that the essential knowledge must be protected from possible leaks.…”

“…On the one hand, the scientific literature encompasses several studies regarding this theme, such as Battaglia et al (2017) in an exploratory analysis of organizations structures from knowledge transfer. Dubickis and Gaile-Sarkane (2017) revised the literature for technology transfer and the tacit-explicit dichotomy; Van Der Heiden et al (2016) developed a model based on the absorptive capacity needs; Cavalheiro and Joia (2014) linked the challenges in technology transfer processes and the adaption to government electronic applications of a donor country to a receiving country from a knowledge management perspective.…”

The underlying challenges of knowledge management and technology transfer and their respective contributions to the development of society are well-known and widely discussed issues in business management. This paper aims to (1) build on the state-of-the art literature on knowledge management and technology transfer, (2) to identify the most relevant, recent studies, and main researchers working on the field worldwide, and (3) to unveil topics of recent development in the field, as well as overlap the themes. To this end, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases were screened for studies that explored the relevance of knowledge management and technology transfer. This research focused on the most recent studies comprising the periods of 2013-2018, while employing Metodi Ordinatio as a quality ranking method, producing thus 50 studies submitted for further analysis and appraisal. The study sought to analyze the co-occurrence of keywords on the theme, the number of citations, number of publications per country, year and journal, and the overlap between areas. This paper also enabled an analysis of the steps required for knowledge management and their relationship to technology transfer. The results showed that most studies focused on the private sector and on technology transfer for attaining innovation, customer orientation and acquiring technological abilities. The university-industry relationship was also observed, in which the focus is on universities creating and transferring knowledge in order to foment the economic and technological power of industries. The findings can assist public and private companies, non-governmental organizations, university and industry applications in terms of knowledge management and technology transfer.

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to explore the dichotomous role of knowledge through an examination of tacit and explicit knowledge in organizational change contexts.Design/methodology/approachThe study's aim is achieved by an analytical review of the seminal and contemporary knowledge management literature.FindingsThe paper contributes to the current body of knowledge management literature by analyzing a wide range of key literature and presenting a contemporary overview that compares the role of tacit and explicit knowledge within organizational change contexts.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings contribute toward theoretical development in the knowledge management field by providing researchers with future research directions to build upon previous theoretical understandings and advance our collective knowledge of the research domain.Practical implicationsThe paper offers practical and pragmatic insights that will help firm managers to use tacit and/or explicit knowledge to manage organizational change.Originality/valueThis article presents an original comparative table that summarizes and compares the key understandings and insights from across the literature sources on a range of important aspects, and then presents implications for the two knowledge typologies. The paper also presents an original research framework containing a structured database of related calls for research by the latest academic publications. Furthermore, it provides specific and informed managerial recommendations for best practice in the integration of these knowledge typologies into organizational change management.
