Using Analytic Network Process to Construct Evaluation Indicators of Knowledge Sharing Effectiveness in Taiwan’s High‐tech Industries

Abstract

High-tech industry has been the principal economic source for Taiwan in recent years. The characteristics of high-tech industries in Taiwan are changeable product markets, short product life cycles and high company attrition rate. In the globalization trend, the high-tech industry has gradually increased corporate competitiveness and reached the goal of sustainable operations through knowledge management, knowledge sharing and new product research and development. Firms have aggressively strengthened and integrated their internal and external resources and enhanced knowledge sharing to increase industry operational performance. Effectively strengthening the knowledge management operation and performance evaluation of knowledge sharing in Taiwan's high-tech industry has become a critical issue. In the selection of knowledge sharing Key Performance Indicators (KPI), this research divided the knowledge sharing indicators into representative strategic indicators such as organizational knowledge learning, organizational knowledge resources, organizational information capacity and organizational knowledge performance through screening using Factor Analysis. The characteristics of the constructs were interdependent. This research calculated and adjusted the correlation among the key performance knowledge sharing indicators using ANP and determined the relative weight of knowledge sharing.

“…Finally, ANP was used to integrate the indicators. The same application can be found in the evaluation of knowledge-sharing effectiveness [39]. …”

A Predictive Study of Students’ Self-regulated Learning Skills and Their Roles in the Social Network Interaction of Online Discussion Board

“…The diagrams generated provided teachers and students with a ready-made diagnostic tool that could highlight individuals who might be left out of important learning interactions, or others whose social position could be beneficial to their peers in the network. Liu and Tsai (2008) utilized sociograms to identify the network members with different social interaction behaviors in the network, centralized knowledge exchanging, distributed knowledge exchanging, impediments based on either limited individual ability, and partial knowledge exchanging.…”

Readiness assessment of information integration in a hospital using an analytic network process method for decision-making in a healthcare network

“…After operating the comparison of all factors with the pair comparison between factors and criteria used for calculating the matrix as the representative of the value substitution in matrix, then questionnaires are used to evaluate the priority of factors according to ANP calculations. 28,72,74 The matrix calculation is the third step to represent the value substitute in the matrix and important sequences that show numeric values in the matrix. The important sequence value in the ANP technique derives from the evaluation of relations of factors or groups of relations of elements derived from comparison.…”

“…The matrix comparison is shown by many articles of interest on the ANP topic. 28,72,74 In Figure 2, we present the pairwise comparison between factors and criteria by a ij referring to objective comparison scores i and j.…”

“…The matrix comparison is shown by many articles of interest on the ANP topic. 28,72,74 In Figure 2, we present the pairwise comparison between factors and criteria by a ij referring to objective comparison scores i and j. After they finished the study of the comparison and evaluation between factors (i) and (j), the result is shown in matrix A.…”
