“…The research used a questionnaire grounded in the theoretical KM literature and adapted by the researchers from previously validated research surveys. The most recent adaptation of this instrument was informed by constructs derived through recent related case study data collection (Zyngier, 2006(Zyngier, , 2008.…”

“…In previous work, Zyngier (2006,2007) suggests that this can be linked to the lack of governance with implications for factors such as well-defined development of policy for the knowledge strategy, the allocation and delegation of responsibility, risk management and financial fiduciary responsibility. Some studies in the past have explored the importance of knowledge management (KM) governance in organizations (Foss et al, 2003;Holsapple & Wu, 2003;Zyngier et al, 2004Zyngier et al, , 2006Schroeder & Pauleen, 2005;Onions & de-Langen, 2006;Peltokorpi & Tsuyuki, 2006;Zyngier, 2006;Strong et al, 2008), however none have examined the link between the benefits realized from knowledge strategy and governance.…”

“…Using descriptive and inferential statistics, we find clear evidence that organizational benefits are realized from the implementation of governance mechanisms over the KM strategy. This paper further contributes in the development and validation of a KM governance framework (Zyngier, 2006) to better understand how a KM governance environment supports KM strategies through strategically aligned, governed, transparent KM activity.…”

This paper investigates how Knowledge management (KM) governance drives the effective implementation of KM strategy in organizations. To this end, we analysed the survey evidence from 218 organizations from the perspective of KM governance, selection of techniques in the development and implementation of knowledge strategy and its alignment with business strategy. Based on the analysis, we have developed a model of KM governance explaining elements of KM maturity that lead to strategic benefits realization. We reveal the relative importance of the roles of KM authority entities and the vital link between KM governance and corporate governance. These underscore how the KM governance environment supports the effective management of knowledge through strategically aligned, governed, transparent activity.

“…Jennex and Addo (2005) discuss the functions of KM strategy as including identifying knowledge to be captured, sources and users of knowledge, knowledge storage strategies, and processes for using and capturing knowledge. Zyngier et al (2006) establishes the relationship between KM governance, KM strategy implementation, and KM success or as in the case of the Jennex and Olfman (2006) KM Success Model, the relationship between the Management Support and the KM Strategy/Process constructs to KM success. Both are necessary for KM success and both are necessary for incorporating security into KM initiatives.…”

Security is an important topic, but is it important for Knowledge Management (KM)? To date, little mainstream KM research is coming through with a security focus. This paper asks why, and proposes that security be integrated into KM success models. The Jennex and Olfman (International Journal of Knowledge Management 2(3):51-68, 2006) KM success model is used to illustrate how security, specifically risk management, and the National Security Telecommunications and Information System Security Committee (NSTISSC) security model can be applied to KM management support and governance and KM Strategy. Finally, two case studies are provided that illustrate the application of risk management through governance to KM.
