“…For example, these stages may include capturing, elaborating, transferring, storing and sharing knowledge (Arostegui, 2004), or capturing, storing, sharing and distributing knowledge, according to Baptista et al (2006). Other authors have seen KM as a process of identification and capture, creation, classification and storage, circulation and distribution and application of knowledge (Tikhomirova et al, 2008), or creation, normalization and application of knowledge (Sheffield, 2008). For their part, Fugate et al (2009), describe KM as a process of generation, dissemination, sharing and interpretation of knowledge.…”

Purpose – The aims of this paper are: to identify the dimensions of knowledge management (KM), and to propose a model for KM that will be useful for future researchers in carrying out KM measurement. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on a literature review of theoretical and empirical contributions to KM. Findings – The results obtained show that the creation, transfer and storage, and implementation and use are dimensions of the concept of KM. On the basis of these dimensions, this study proposes a model integrating these dimensions and operationalizes it using selected items, so that future researchers may carry out measurements using the proposed model. Practical implications – The study implies that companies and researchers use a smaller time in theoretical checks and can devote to measurements which develop improvements. Originality/value – The present model differs from other, previous models in that it integrates various approaches to the study of KM.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of knowledge management on business performance. First, a review of the literature has been made, in order to define the most common dimensions of knowledge management and results for subsequent measurement. The dimensions of knowledge management have been: creation, storage and transfer and the application and use of knowledge. Information acquisition, dissemination and interpretation have been used as measures for the creation of knowledge. Also, empowerment, teamwork and commitment to knowledge have been used as measures of implementation and use of knowledge. The dimensions of the results used have been: operating results, financial and innovation. The methodology used is based on case study, through primary and secondary data. The results show that knowledge management influences operating results, but also financial and innovation results. Thus, the companies studied which have a higher degree of knowledge management through teamwork, increased empowerment, flexibility in decision-making and a general view of the company, including practices, obtain better results regarding operation, but also financial and innovation results.

“…The first one is developing information systems for library and the second is curriculum development. Several initiatives which can be used through the universities are:creating KM research centers;creating KM disciplines and implementing them in a university curriculum;opening KM learning programs on certificates, Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD levels;implementing KM initiatives in universities' processes; andorganizing external consultancy services for governments and private organisations (Tikhomirova et al , 2008, p. 16). Aside from the organisational approach, universities have two important problems which have been addressed by the educational practitioners.…”

PurposeKnowledge is a very important resource in this era and identifying, capturing, storing, and applying it to organisational processes can help organisations in achieving their goals and objectives. Therefore, managing knowledge is considered as an organisational capability. This paper attempts to investigate knowledge management (KM) readiness in University X. Also, the most important KM factors are explored in the university.Design/methodology/approachThe paper employed a knowledge transformations model for assessing the readiness of the KM in University X. Hence, 100 faculty members of this university were selected by stratified sampling for gathering data. Then, data collection was conducted by a questionnaire. Afterwards, t‐test and ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Finally, interviews were conducted to identify more important factors for KM initiatives.FindingsThe findings of this study demonstrate that University X has been weak regarding KM transformations. Also, the research findings revealed that there were no significant differences between the faculties of the university. Lastly, the study has explored the most important obstacles in applying KM initiatives through carrying out interviews.Research limitations/implicationsSince the research focuses on people's perceptions, the findings may be biased. There is no opportunity to use university documents.Practical implicationsThe university needs to conduct the KM practices such as: considering the other factors that have involvement in the field; developing a consistent rewards and recognition system based on knowledge sharing; providing situations to establish meetings among staff members; and determining the official position of KM.Originality/valueThe paper offers insights into knowledge management readiness in a university in Iran.
