This is in light of international business organizations’ intellectual capital, which propels them into global competition and provides them with a competitive advantage if utilized properly. The purpose of this research is to examine and assess two topics, namely, knowledge sharing and international business, as well as their location in research studies, importance, definitions and histories of those terms, and research interests for each one of these two dimensions.

Knowledge Management (KM) is emerging as a primordial need in the time of the Industrial revolution 4.0 when knowledge and information are a key resource for a faster innovation cycle and economic prosperity. It is a complex process including technologies involved in the creation and use of knowledge data. This empirical study analyses indicators and strategies for KM in 70 companies in the Italian region of Campania. The ultimate goal of the research is to determine whether the KM strategy affects the business parameters of companies. KM indicators are classified into five basic categories: academic education, employees 'training, storage, dissemination, and technical support. A closed-ended response questionnaire with an interval and Likert scales were used to collect data. Variables for measuring KM are processed by the factor analysis technique, the maximum likelihood variant. The idea was to get strategies in the form of factor scores as a result and to analyse their essence. The impact of factor scores on company business parameters was measured through multiple regression analysis.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the views of the global knowledge management (KM) community on the research area of KM and business performance and identify key future research themes. Design/methodology/approach An interview study spanning 222 informants in 38 countries was launched to collect data on KM expert views concerning the future research needs of the KM field. Findings The value contribution of KM requires more research despite experts agreeing on the complexities involved in solving this challenge. Further research areas identified were related to the influence of KM to support business strategy, intellectual capital, decision-making, knowledge sharing, organizational learning, innovation performance, productivity and competitive advantage. Research limitations/implications The sample is dominated by European-based KM experts and the self-selecting sampling approach that was used by relying on the networks of each partner could have biased the structure of this sample...

Practical knowledge is key to the success of organisations, because if effectively managed and shared, it can lead to sustained competitive advantage. However, sharing practical knowledge remains under-researched. Indeed, although there is increasing interest in understanding practical knowledge and how it is shared, the literature on practical knowledge sharing lacks agreement on: how to represent the sharing process, what stages it involves, and the identification of the focal point of the sharing process. Informed by the literature, the current research aimed to explore how individuals within organisations share practical knowledge, aiming to provide an in-depth representation of the components that constitute the practical knowledge sharing process and providing new insights about what occurs in practice. To achieve this primary objective, further exploration of the role of practical knowledge forms, reflection, situation awareness and the sharing mechanisms within the process o...

Organizations’ survival ability is increasingly constrained by their innovation possibilities, that is, by their capacity to create and share knowledge in order to cope with new and more complex challenges. Aiming for the three axes on which new organizational models must be based (economic, technological, and social innovation), this article carries out a systematic review among five databases on the variables related to innovation in organizations. After applying exclusion criteria, 132 papers out of the 1,215 originally found were analyzed. As a result, an integrating theoretical model was proposed from the organizational psychology perspective: the model of knowledge-sharing organizations. The model allows for cultural, psychosocial, and technological aspects and proposes three levels of analysis: 1) innovative culture and governance (that groups together the characteristics of a culture oriented towards innovation, and the organizational policies into which it is translated); 2) leadership, teams, and people (that includes variables that impact people’s innovative capacity, leadership styles, and forms of teamwork); and 3) technological tools for innovation (that focus on how technology can be used, specifically ICT, to enhance the organization’s innovative capacity). Future directions as well as limitations are addressed at the end of the article.

░ Abstract: Knowledge is and has remained a core competence of all thriving organizations and so, the management of knowledge will remain a key competitive strategy for any organization that wants to remain innovative, sustainable and profitable in this dynamic world of business volatility. The difference between one organization and another, in term of performance and skill utilization has been linked not only to the quality of their knowledge repositories, but also to how knowledge is shared among organizational members. This paper reviewed some extant literature and discovered that the most important of all knowledge management processes lies in knowledge sharing. Rather than keeping our stock of both tacit and explicit knowledge to ourselves, we should endeavor to share knowledge because our stock of knowledge does not deplete when we share it. Rather, knowledge sharing reinforces our knowledge base and makes knowledge to stick and become more permanent. As a matter of fact, the tacit knowledge which resides in the knower goes with the holder when he or she dies. This paper also supports the formulation of a conceptual framework that will establish a link between knowledge management and the organizational learning process.
