El almuerzo sobre la hierba, un puente hacia la modernidad
Authors: Fernández Ferrín Carlos A. , Bolívar Chávez Oscar E. , Cruz Mendoza Juan C.
Published: August 2022

El análisis de Almuerzo sobre la hierba de Manet ha evidenciado la importancia de la pintura en la historia del arte contemporáneo, por su influencia directa en las principales corrientes   pictóricas   vanguardistas.   Elementos   como   la disposición de personajes y objetos, el uso del color, la amalgama de formas, la vestimenta de las figuras secundarias, así como la desnudez de la protagonista cuya imagen corriente contrasta con el romanticismo pictórico dominante. El homenaje que hace al cuerpo femenino lo convierten en figura rompedora y uno de los primeros representantes del realismo circundante en una época en declive. La obra muestra la relación pragmática de lo clásico con lo moderno porque simboliza la propia realidad del autor insertada en el medio. El reflejo de su inconformidad con lo establecido lo catapulta como referente de un modelo de arte atrevido, una propuesta pictórica respaldada por las teorías y técnicas del arte renacentista y barroco pero transformada por su identidad y visión futurista.

Published: August 2022

Uno de los retos más importantes que enfrentan las instituciones de educación superior es el de erradicar la desigualdad de género que todavía se manifiesta y reproduce a su interior. Desde sus orígenes, las universidades e institutos han sido espacios históricamente desfavorables para las mujeres, quienes durante siglos ni siquiera tuvieron derecho a acceder a este nivel educativo. Por medio de exigencias y luchas continuas, a partir del siglo XIX, las mujeres lograron ingresar a la educación superior, incrementando de forma progresiva su presencia. Sin embargo, muchas desigualdades aún persisten; son notables en el ámbito de la profesión académica (nombramientos y promociones), en las evaluaciones y en el  otorgamiento de reconocimientos, en el acceso y la permanencia por áreas y disciplinas, así como en algunos países latinoamericanos, Ecuador incluido. Tampoco es posible olvidar que lamentablemente existen situaciones de acoso, hostigamiento y violencia de género en las instituciones de educación superior. Este trabajo tiene como propósito reflexionar acerca de la manera en que se teje, en el ámbito de la educación superior, la dimensión social del género como elemento que participa de manera fundamental en las relaciones de poder.

Authors: Paganotti Arilson , Gomes Gabriel Rodrigues , Vieira Graciene Carvalho , Silva Rebeca Mayra Martins Vieira
Published: August 2022

Diante das enormes dificuldades de aprendizado dos alunos, o Ensino de Física é foco de inúmeras pesquisas educacionais. O Ensino Médio no Brasil é uma das etapas da educação que mais tem preocupado os especialistas da área. No estado de Minas Gerais, foco da realização da nossa pesquisa, foi elaborado uma proposta de ensino em conformidade com os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN). Essa proposta curricular pode ser considerada inovadora no que tange à distribuição dos conteúdos nas séries do Ensino Médio. Ela apresenta os Conteúdos Básicos Comuns (CBC). Neste documento a contextualização e a interdisciplinaridade no Ensino de Física são fatores importantes, sendo o conceito de energia o estruturador dos conteúdos básicos. As escolas da rede federal participantes da pesquisa, não seguem essa proposta, mas sim os conteúdos relacionados aos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais. Neste trabalho procurou-se fazer um diagnóstico do conhecimento dos alunos sobre temas contemporâneos relacionados à Astronomia e Cosmologia, constantes nos Eixos Temáticos IV e V do CBC e nos PCN. A pesquisa foi realizada por alguns integrantes do grupo de estudos sobre o Ensino de Astronomia do IFMG Campus Congonhas, sendo aplicada, via questionário, em quatro escolas da rede estadual e duas escolas da rede federal. Como o grupo de estudos compõe um projeto de extensão e divulgação científica, essa pesquisa serviu como um meio de levantamento das necessidades conceituais dos estudantes quanto ao conhecimento de temas contemporâneos relacionados à Astronomia e Cosmologia. Diante das necessidades conceituais observadas, os componentes do projeto pretendem promover ações de apoio futuro, através de palestras e oficinas praticas que serão realizadas nas escolas parceiras.

Published: August 2022

Os dentes inclusos ou impactados são dentes que se mantêm no osso alveolar da maxila ou na mandíbula por mais de dois anos após o tempo previsto da erupção fisiológica. Depois dos terceiros molares, os caninos maxilares são dentes que tem maior dificuldade de seguir seu trajeto para a erupção mesmo que haja espaço suficiente para o seu alinhamento na arcada dentária. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre as principais alternativas de tratamentos utilizados para auxiliar na decisão quanto à manutenção ou exodontia do canino incluso. A pesquisa foi realizada nas seguintes bases de dados eletrônicas científicas: Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO), Google Acadêmico e PubMed. Foram incluídos 17 artigos científicos na respectiva língua portuguesa e língua inglesa publicados entre os anos de 2016 a 2021.
Graphene Oxide-Induced Substantial Strengthening of High-Entropy Alloy Revealed by Micropillar Compression and Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Authors: Zhang Wei , Xie Hongcai , Ma Zhichao , Zhao Hongwei , Ren Luquan
Published: August 2022

Plastic deformation mechanisms at micro/nanoscale of graphene oxide-reinforced high-entropy alloy composites (HEA/GO) remain unclear. In this study, small-scale mechanical behaviors were evaluated for HEA/GO composites with 0.0 wt.%, 0.3 wt.%, 0.6 wt.%, and 1.0 wt.% GO, consisting of compression testing on micropillar and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on nanopillars. The experimental results uncovered that the composites exhibited a higher yield strength and flow stress compared with pure HEA micropillar, resulting from the GO reinforcement and grain refinement strengthening. This was also confirmed by the MD simulations of pure HEA and HEA/GO composite nanopillars. The immobile <100> interstitial dislocations also participated in the plastic deformation of composites, in contrast to pure HEA counterpart where only mobile 1/2 <111> perfect dislocations dominated deformation, leading to a higher yield strength for composite. Meanwhile, the MD simulations also revealed that the flow stress of composite nanopillar was significantly improved due to GO sheet effectively impeded dislocation movement. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of HEA/1.0 wt.% GO composite showed a slight reduction compared with HEA/0.6 wt.% GO composite. This correlated with the compositional segregation of Cr carbide and aggregation of GO sheets, indicative of lower work hardening rate in stress-strain curves of micropillar compression.

Authors: Agrifoglio Rocco , Briganti Paola , Ferrara Maria , Iavarone Maria Luisa , Reina Rocco , Varriale Luisa , Melina Anna Maria
Published: August 2022

The research aims to explore how PhD students interacted with professors and peers and transferred knowledge during pandemic time. We firstly aim to provide an overview of communication media used by students, as well as to classify them for different kinds, social presence, and media richness. Furthermore, our research also aims to explore how doctoral students took their courses by interacting with professors and with peers, in terms of learning (KT) and social exchange relations (LMX, TMX, POS), through online learning platforms and communication media. We conducted exploratory research on 25 PhD students from 5 Italian PhD Programs in ‘economic and statistical sciences’ area. Data was collected through (a) the focus group interview with PhD students for collecting their opinions and experiences on the usage of media for communicating with professors and peers and (b) an online questionnaire aimed to measure their experiences or perceptions on technology usage and social relations. Results shown that PhD students used e-learning platform for communicating with peers and professors, so developing good social relations -even at a distance- which have encouraged knowledge transfer among them.
Resistance to Digital Transformation: The Role of Middle Management Personal Networks
Authors: Bagrationi Konstantin , Thurner Thomas Wolfgang , Gordienko Olga
Published: August 2022

This paper studies the digital transformation process of one of Russia’s largest freight forwarding companies that was met with resistance from its middle management which put the entire change process in jeopardy. With the move to a digital platform business, the middle management had to follow enterprise-wide rules imposed by the underlying information system. Preferred treatment of hauliers as established by regional managers were no longer possible and it was this loss of autonomy that stood at the core of resistance among the firm’s middle management. The practice of such extra organizational networks is described in Russian bz the term ‘blat’. The blat originated during the Soviet Union and described a system of personal favors that ensured the functioning of society in times of scarcity. The paper describes eight instances of middle managers’ resistance who resisted the organisational change. Data was collected through interviews and document studies.

We describe the circumstances that triggered resistance behaviour of each middle manager through their own words, the viewpoint of project managers and the company’s top management. Our findings describe how individual resistance was overcome and – in many instances – converted into support for the change agenda. The original value of our paper is that the company overcame the resistance and successfully implemented its change agenda and entered a period of economic growth. Although the change process had to overcome many obstacles, the result proved economically very successful. Today, the company is one of the top transportation firms in Russia.
From NGOs with Knowledge: An Empirical Study on the Impact of Trust-Antecedents on Knowledge Transfer
Authors: Hasnain Sheikh Shamim
Published: August 2022

This study investigates three trust-antecedents (competence, benevolence, and integrity) those influence knowledge transfer.  These trust-antecedents play a key role in the transfer of knowledge from NGO employees to their beneficiaries. 2445 registered NGOs in Bangladesh are targeted for data collection. 460 useable questionnaires are taken into consideration (n=460) for the study. According to Correlations and Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis, these trust antecedents are having a significant positive impact on knowledge transfer.  Because it is single-country research, one of the study's weaknesses is that its generalizability may be restricted. Future researchers may carry out similar studies in different contexts.
Lifelong Learning Through Knowledge-sharing and Digital Collaboration
Authors: Brouwers Kay , Van Lelyveld Wouter , Takács Takács , Abcouwer Antonie
Published: August 2022

Today, in the age of digital transformation, knowledge management is essential to keep an overview of the endlessly available information. Universities by nature must be leading in generating, sharing, using and managing relevant knowledge and information to equip people to obtain viable employment. It means that the basic assumption is that universities mainly work as the source of knowledge and information. However, in contemporary times knowledge sources are wider spread in society. In a case study, we analysed the current knowledge management initiatives of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). We found that these initiatives insufficiently facilitate the knowledge-sharing behaviour of partners and are too focused on a one-way flow of knowledge to external partners. Consequently, opportunities to learn from knowledge in society, identify societal needs and challenges, and tailor curricula to educate talent with knowledge and skills are not optimally leveraged. This paper suggests a possible way to enhance two-way knowledge sharing in the form of a digital collaboration platform. We based our proposed platform on a thorough scientific literature review on partners, ecosystems, knowledge sharing, incentives, and constructing and maintaining cohesive teams. Such a platform will ultimately facilitate lifelong learning. People can participate in the platform during their lives and bridge the gap between universities and organisations by enabling a constant two-way knowledge-sharing process. Our research mainly focused on identifying the requirements to establish cohesiveness and stimulate knowledge-sharing of the partners and teams of such a platform.
Patterns for Personal Business Model Canvas Applications – BE(A)ST, an Approach for Aware Career Development
Authors: Jakieła Jacek , Świętoniowska Joanna , Wójcik Joanna
Published: August 2022

The model in which after formal education a person obtains a stable occupation has been replaced by the career model of building many, often different individual development paths throughout the course of one’s life. It poses a huge challenge for higher education institutions. Universities must move from the current mode of ‘mass production’ of students to the approach that treats students individually according to their interests, values, passion and character traits. Furthermore, universities should focus not only on developing hard skills, but also universal competences that can positively affect their ability to adapt to the changing demands of the labour market. The education process usually involves many stakeholders: students themselves, academics, career office staff, parents, employers, or friends. Each of these groups has different levels of understanding of what a career is, what career planning is about, and what professional success means. Ideally, the university provides support for the personalization of educational pathways and career planning at various points of contact - classes, career offices, career related events. Students should also be motivated to actively develop their career identity and its connection to what makes them tick. Universities should offer career planning tools for various stakeholder groups tailored to their needs. Our approach called BE Aware STudent (BE(A)ST) is a comprehensive framework that enables universities to prepare students to be more agile in educational track individualization and increase students’ adaptability in the process of conscious career development. The key technique adopted for the BEAST approach is the Personal Business Model Canvas (PBMC). This paper presents the patterns of PBMC applications in the form of possible scenarios that may be used by students, educational staff members, and career office workers. Students can use the PBMC for educational track individualization and early career planning. Educational Staff Members can use the technique to present the market potential of the subject they teach and to prepare a reference model for possible job positions related to the subject matter of the classes. Career office workers may use PBMC for counselling students and collecting information on occupation requirements from employers.
Knowledge Ecosystem Approach to Addressing the Wicked Problems
Authors: Jucevičius Giedrius
Published: August 2022

Knowledge ecosystem is a relatively recent notion, which is primarily associated with the development of new knowledge through joint research and collaboration. They encompass the different actors that come together and search for new solutions and value propositions leading to the generation of new knowledge (Dattée, Alexy and Autio, 2018; Järvi, Almpanopoulou and Ritala, 2018). Knowledge ecosystems represent the networks of geographically co-located actors responsible for generating knowledge at the stage of pre-commercial engagement (Clarysse, 2014). The paper argues that the concept of knowledge ecosystems should not remain focused on public R&D-driven initiatives, but can be extended into the more complex social fields, such as addressing the “wicked problems” in multi-stakeholder environments. Wicked problems are characterized by the lack of clear problem definition and causality. They contain many inherent contradictions, complex stakeholder perspectives, and uncertain outcomes of intervention. The extant traditional research on addressing the wicked problems is dominated by the agent perspective (e.g. design thinking approach to resolving complex issues). In this paper, we argue that the effective tackling of the wicked problems owes primarily to the existence of effective ecosystems as platforms for accessing and managing the diverse social knowledge. We contrast the ecosystem-as-affiliation vs. ecosystem-as-structure approaches (Adner, 2017), and prefigurative vs. partial form of knowledge ecosystem (Järvi, Almpanopoulou, Ritala, 2018). The discussion presented in the paper shows that ecosystem-as-affiliation view and prefigurative form of KE is more suitable for addressing the complexity of wicked problems. On the other hand, the ecosystem-as-structure view and partial form of knowledge ecosystem is more appropriate for large corporate and public actors in search of the transdisciplinary solutions in a predefined area of expertise.
The role of Intellectual Property Rights in Enhancing Regional Development
Authors: Sein Yeeyee , Prokop Viktor
Published: August 2022

Intellectual property rights (IPRs) are recognized as a growth enhancing factor for the economy. IPRs can influence the growth process through the domestic and external sectors of an economy. Therefore, researchers are increasingly interested in the role of IPR protection in the economic growth of countries. In OECD countries, most industries rely on innovation with innovative technology, hence, the role of IPR is important in stimulating the diffusion of knowledge to foster innovation that contributes to the regional development. Based on the above-mentioned, the research aims to analyze the role of IPR protection in enhancing regional development in OECD countries. The study uses the latest data set from the OECD and World Bank. We found that IPRs have a positive and significant effect on regional economic growth in OECD countries. FDI is also highly significant effect on regional economic growth. The result of this study provides interesting results that will support policy makers in considering improving intellectual property rights of inventors when formulating policies for national and regional development.
Conceptualising the Role of the UAE Innovation Strategy in University-Industry knowledge Diffusion Process
Authors: Al-kfairy Mousa , Majdalawieh Munir , Alrabaee Saed
Published: August 2022

Universities are considered one of the primary sources of knowledge and an essential component of the triple helix theory. They fuel the industries with the required expertise and pool of resources to operate efficiently. Moreover, entrepreneurial universities successfully contributed to regional development and employment growth by supporting entrepreneurial activities and incubation programmes. Thus, university-industry collaboration is vital for enhancing knowledge-based industries' knowledge diffusion as well as the regional innovation atmospheres. On the other hand, countries and regional authorities strive to stimulate their regional development by encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship activities. For example, the UAE announced its 2015 innovation strategy that focused on seven industries: education, technology, renewable energy, transportation, education, health, water, and space. The strategy stressed the role of universities R & R&D, first-class research, and promoting incubation services as one of the country's main innovation enablers. Thus, universities, scholars and industry should concentrate on the identified sectors to achieve the strategic innovation goals. This work aims to conceptualise and test the relationship and collaboration between industry and universities in the UAE and the impact of the innovation strategy on this relationship. Therefore, we critically analyse literature on the university-industry relationship and connect it with the UAE innovation strategy that resulted in a conceptual university-industry relationship model where the innovation strategy and UAE government act as a moderator of this relationship. The initial results show that the conceptual model includes research and curriculum collaboration. Research collaboration includes joint research, research fund, commercialisation of the research output, while curriculum collaboration includes the programmes and courses updates and joint training programmes. The developed model is still in its early stage of development and requires further updates based on interviews with the HEIs researchers and the survey results.
How to Facilitate Knowledge Ambidexterity with the Use of Enterprise Social Media
Authors: Stei Gerald , Szász Levente , Rossmann Alexander
Published: August 2022

Organizations that operate under uncertainty need to cultivate their ability to manage their primary resource, knowledge, accordingly. Under such conditions, organizations are required to harvest knowledge from two sources: to explore knowledge that is to be found outside the organization as well as exploit knowledge that is contained within. In a knowledge management context these exploitation and exploration activities have been conceptualized as knowledge ambidexterity.

While ambidexterity has been studied extensively in contexts as manufacturing or IT, the notion of knowledge ambidexterity remains scarce in current knowledge management research. This study illustrates knowledge ambidexterity and elaborates its positive impact on organizational performance. Our study furthermore answers the question of how the use of enterprise social media (ESM) can facilitate the performance effects of knowledge ambidexterity. Drawing on the theory of communication visibility, we argue that ESM (e.g., Microsoft Teams, Slack, etc.) allow employees to communicate unhindered while making these communications visible. This allows for capturing tacit knowledge within these communications - this form of knowledge is generally hard to codify and can be a source of competitive edge. With respect to knowledge ambidexterity, ESM use can capture tacit knowledge aspects originating from inside and outside the organization, which fosters the development of a competitive advantage and, thus, supports its positive effect on organizational performance.

This paper contributes to IT-enabled ambidexterity research in two aspects: (1) It sheds light on knowledge ambidexterity and, thereby, addresses a major practical challenge for knowledge-intensive organizations, and (2) it elaborates on the effects that ESM use can have on the relationship between knowledge ambidexterity and organizational performance. This work-in-progress paper offers a better understanding of the phenomenon of ambidexterity in a knowledge context, while providing insights on the facilitating role of ESM. Our research serves as a foundation for future empirical examinations of the concept of knowledge ambidexterity.
Knowledge-Based Management Challenges in the Asset Life Cycle
Authors: Siuko Viivi , Myllärniemi Jussi , Hellsten Pasi
Published: August 2022

This study examines knowledge-based management challenges at different stages of the asset life cycle in project networks. The case network is the infrastructure construction sector, which includes organizations in design, construction and maintenance. This sector forms an interesting case as there are multiple problems related to knowledge-based management. By comparing the maturity levels of the different stages of the asset life cycle, we aim to identify the major challenges in knowledge-based management in asset life cycles within the infrastructure sector.

 

A maturity survey on knowledge-based management was distributed to 22 organizations, generating 68 respondents. The respondents worked in infrastructure sector organizations at different stages of the asset life cycle, including design, construction and maintenance. The findings of the survey were compared, so as to present relevant issues at each stage, and analysed with a framework suggested for the maturity model.

 

There is little research on knowledge-based management relating to the asset life cycle. Therefore, this study creates new knowledge in this area and enhances understanding of how issues of knowledge-based management differ in the stages of the life cycle as a manifestation of knowledge management. Organizations in the infrastructure sector gain valuable information on the issues that need to be fixed so as to gain more value from digitalization. This research is part of the ProDigial research programme whose practical contribution will be a manual on knowledge-based management for asset-managing organizations.
The Analytic Hierarchy Process for New Product Screening Decisions
Authors: Relich Marcin
Published: August 2022

The selection of the most promising new product development projects is one of the most important decisions in a company. This decision affects the cost of failed projects, company’s profitability, and its survival. The selection of new product development projects with the greatest potential requires the evaluation criteria that reflect the adjustment of a new product to customer requirements, company’s strategy, manufacturing, and knowledge management issues. There are specified sub-criteria to identify the impact of a new product on a single area of the company’s activity, for example, on the knowledge management area. The criteria and sub-criteria are evaluated by managers, engineers (including knowledge engineers), and IT specialists, who work in departments such as research and development, sales and marketing, manufacturing, IT, and top management. Company professionals have the most updated information of the ongoing processes related to new product development. This paper is concerned with using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology to a new product screening problem, paying attention to the knowledge management perspective. So far, this perspective is neglected in the context of the decision problem of new product screening. This research develops the field of knowledge acquisition from experts towards selecting and evaluating criteria related to the potential of a new product. Knowledge acquisition refers to issues related to a new product, customer requirements, and uncertainties of project performance. Using criteria related to various areas of the company’s activity, the decision maker can identify factors significantly impacting performance of new product projects, and compare these projects with each other. Moreover, the AHP approach prioritizes criteria and sub-criteria, and as a result, it can identify areas of the company’s activity that could be improved.
Knowledge Exchange as a Factor Shaping Employee Relations in Remote Work
Authors: Robak Elżbieta
Published: August 2022

It is difficult to overestimate the benefits of positive employee relations, as they relate to individual, team and organisational aspects. Good relations between employees are reflected in effective communication, higher work efficiency, employee commitment, but also in a higher job satisfaction. Such relationships in the organisation also show respect, trust, and the willingness to cooperate among employees, which foster knowledge sharing. Employers whose employees work remotely are often faced with the problem of how to shape an organisational culture of openness, built on positive employee relations, encouraging the sharing of knowledge with colleagues.

The empirical part of the study was prepared on the basis of the results of a survey conducted at the turn of 2021/2022 among young people, representatives of generation Z, living in the Silesian voivodeship in Poland.

The results of the conducted research show that young people from generation Z negatively evaluate the impact of remote work on relations with both colleagues and superiors. Moreover, according to the respondents, the remote work interferes with building emotional ties and also limits mutual support in difficult situations and may lead to a feeling of social isolation. Although the respondents believed that remote work allows a quick exchange of information and promotes the exchange of knowledge between employees, they were reluctant to work remotely in the future (they preferred hybrid or stationary work).
Knowledge Gains and Losses to Organizational Resilience, from Intellectual Capital
Authors: Potrich Lídia , Miranda Junior Jaime , Selig Paulo , Sell Denilson , Todesco José
Published: August 2022

Understood that knowledge loss is an imminent risk to organizations as it occurs when employees with valuable knowledge leave the organization, when there are problems with codified knowledge or when the organization does not properly manage knowledge. In this context, organizational resilience can be affected, since intangible resources enable organizational responses to the unexpected. Considering that the aspects that generate losses can be common to organizations, it is also important to identify what are the possible gains that the system has, as a result of these situations. Thus, the objective of this article is to understand the state of the art under knowledge loss in the context of organizational resilience and to identify the possible gains arising from these critical situations. As a proposal, a classification according to the concept of Intellectual Capital based on the three main dimensions: Human Capital, Structural Capital and Relational Capital. Thus, a literature review was carried out in order to identify the impacts of the loss of knowledge on resilient responses, as well as the gains for the organizational system. This theoretical study aimed to contribute to the scientific advancement of knowledge loss, to the advancement of organizational resilience aspects, as well as to Intellectual Capital. Also, it was proposed to advance in the understanding of knowledge gains, since regular aspects to organizations such as turnover, waste of knowledge, low volume of specialists and absences from work generate risks to critical knowledge. These, in turn, affect the resilience and structures of the IC. Presenting knowledge vulnerabilities makes it possible to identify possible positive impacts, in order to ensure proper knowledge management, in favor of organizational resilience and its sustainability. As a result, the study showed that the loss of knowledge is mainly from Human Capital, however there are direct and positive impacts on the structural and relational capital of the organization, as loss mitigation strategies lead to strategies for strengthening relationships and internal improvements in its structure. Furthermore, the creation of unlearning and organizational learning environments can contribute to the resilience of the system.

If we observe top companies in any industry, we notice they have one thing in common: innovation.  Successful business leaders recognize when the same ideas and methods used before aren’t working anymore. Smart, innovative approaches are needed for our hybrid working environment.

The ABCD business model shows that present organizations spend the majority of their time on activities related to business administration (A) and doing repetitive work (D). The rest of the time is allocated to dealing with crises (C), and only nominally to improving the ways business is done (B). Digital transformation, competition, and the need for organizations to leverage technology and innovation in the future will ‘force’ organizations to maintain A, increase B, and (strategize how to) decrease C and D. Two initiatives will be unpacked and common elements will be identified as indicators in improving B.

Five ways to change the game and become a human-focused organization that promotes innovation are proposed based on our learnings:

People:

Encourage a growth mindset of continuous learning, creativity in how problems are solved, and flexibility how work gets done

Encourage innovative thinking; create innovative groups

Build skills, e.g., analytical thinking, innovation, creativity, and initiative

Workplace:

Design a psychologically safe culture, where people are included, can learn, have a sense of belonging, are appreciated, and valued for who they are and what they contribute and challenge.

Technology:

Create an experimentation lab to TRY-TEST-ADAPT in rapid cycles to learn and fail/learn fast or advance the innovation.

We are faced with multiple, messy issues that require out-of-the-box thinking and innovative solutions. Capturing lessons learned can build leading indicators that will help improve B.  A simulation dashboard that quantifies the change is an innovation tool we plan to develop.

The never-ending series of ethical scandals in companies in various industries across the countries show that business ethics problems are not diminishing, so means to develop business ethics need to be sought to better serve the interests of stakeholders and society. As in other areas of management, knowledge and understanding of business ethics need to be developed, knowledge accumulated, transferred and applied, and knowledge management models and processes can be applied to this in societal, associative, organizational, and individual levels. Therefore, the aim of the research is to evaluate business ethics knowledge management in order to suggest for companies relevant business ethics knowledge management solutions. The survey is conducted in the case of Lithuanian companies by the method of a quantitative questionnaire survey of companies’ employees. Although the companies demonstrate a high level of ethical knowledge of how to behave in a business environment, the study reveals some gaps in ethical knowledge management related to a mercantilist approach to knowledge management when business ethics knowledge is developed, consolidated, disseminated and applied when corporate representatives see it’s. benefits. However, there is a lack of systematic knowledge sharing and transparency, knowledge accumulation and understanding of how to put ethical knowledge into business in practice. The study show high importance of moral leadership and leading by example in knowledge management of business ethics.

Change is the single constant of our world. We have to face challenging, dynamic and turbulent times. The complexity and dynamics of our world requires a paradigmatic holistic vision that needs collaboration. Collaborative economics focus on trust and team building, established based on a complementary set of core competences where creative, talented and gifted people are mostly valued. Online collaborative platforms and digitalization had been widely developed. We consider that, under the broader umbrella of cultural and creative economy, people have to focus more on non-traditional organizational structures that are better functioning on local and regional levels. Cultural and creative cities facilitate constructive dialogue and interactions, stimulating intercultural sensitivity applying practical wisdom such as to better interact and develop professional and personal networking. Collaborative economics focuses on proving people care more about other human beings and thus they develop new organizational structures based on compassion, empathy, emotional intelligence that ask for an important mentality shift from social networking (such as Facebook) based on sharing information, data and knowledge towards more spiritual oriented organizations within which practical wise, creative and innovative solutions that focus on wisdom have to be facilitated. In the last decades human civilization had shifted step by step from an information-based society towards knowledge, creative and innovation based one. It is high time to be wise and to shift to practical wisdom based on ethical, moral and spiritual values.

Authors: ABID-BAUDIN ASMAA
Published: August 2022

Our research contributes to knowledge-intensive firms research streams. We propose an explanation of their performance based on organizational design theory and the resource-based view. Through a case study on an IT consulting firm in France, we examined the impact of a coherent organizational architecture and a cognitive asset on the performance of the firm. The results show a complementarity between a coherent organizational design and a meticulously formed and maintained human resources asset to explain the performance of an IT consulting firm.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive model of embedding intellectual capital in the business plan and strategy. The model aims to increase the sustainable performance of companies and ensure their competitive advantage, suggesting a methodology for managing intellectual capital. A case study of a Macedonian company, where the model is piloted, is presented.
Design/methodology/approach: Qualitative research in a form of interviews among managers and a case study of a Macedonian company was used to obtain data about the effects of the piloted model. The transformational process from a traditional to a learning organization started in 2014, with measurement intellectual capital, followed in the next years with measures and activities for managing intellectual capital and integrating it with the business strategy and plan.
Findings: The findings confirmed the positive effects of intellectual capital on the company’s performance. In the period of 2014-2022 a number of strategic decisions, innovative actions and structural measures have been developed and implemented. For each capital (human, organisational, structural, relational, process and innovation) activities and indicators were specially designed matching the strategic goals, the organisational structure and the available resources.
Research limitations/implications: This comprehensive model of embedding intellectual capital in the business strategy for sustainable competitive advantage explored in this paper is piloted for the first time. More examples and studies like this are needed to follow the effects in different companies. Our recommendation is to replicate the research and compare the analyses with different companies, preferably in other countries as well.
Practical implications: This study is expected to increase the motivation of other companies to manage intellectual capital and increase their business sustainability and competitive advantage.
Originality/value: The presented model has double value – contributing to research and practice in the field of intellectual capital and sustainability management.

The time of revival of the Hindus and the conversion of all the people into Hinduism through organizations such as the Brahma Samaj and the Arya Samaj took place in the latter half of the 19th century. Iyothee, one of the great thinkers of modern India, renounced Hinduism when he examined his society and the reasons for experiencing his social and caste oppression. In this study, the researcher has explained in detail and clearly, with sufficient supporting evidence, the quest for the education of Iyothee, the anti-Hindu religious sentiments of Iyothee, the Dravida Mahajana Sabha and the 10 demands, the village school, and the right to proportion, the reasons for the decline of the Paraiyars, the need for social change, the disguised brahmins,  and the Dalits and the toil, and the role played by Iyothee in his society and caste oppression.
