New disruptive technologies in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), especially, are changing the manner in which knowledge is managed within organizations, calling for a new and inventive ...knowledge management system and an open approach, to foster knowledge flows. This pattern expectedly should also enhance the development of internal knowledge management capacity, which in turn is a prerequisite of firm's innovativeness. In this context, the main goal of this research is to investigate the relationship among knowledge management system, open innovation, knowledge management capacity and innovation capacity. To reach this goal, the research employs structural equation modelling on a sample of 298 Italian firms from different sectors. The findings indicate that knowledge management system facilitates the creation of open and collaborative ecosystems, and the exploitation of internal and external flows of knowledge, through the development of internal knowledge management capacity, which in turn increases innovation capacity. The research further draws on its findings to identify significant scholarly and managerial implications, and to prescribe future research directions.

This article investigates the literary corpus on digital innovation in knowledge management systems (KMS) to understand its role in business governance.
The study introduces a broad survey of the scientific literature on this topic to understand how digital innovation promotes new business models through the optimization of new knowledge.
We carried out a bibliometric analysis on a database, including 46 articles published in the last three decades (1990–2020). All the articles were written in English.
The results show that research published on the topic reveals interesting implications for business models and business performance. These findings especially highlight the links between innovation and sustainability, revealing that digital transformation tools contribute over the long-term to the value creation process. This research contributes to the existing literature analyzing the KMS topic by considering it from the digital innovation processes perspective, pointing out the need to implement new knowledge creation and to share measures which support global and inclusive growth.
A hallmark of the new economy is the ability of organizations to realize economic value from their collection of knowledge assets as well as their assets of information, production distribution, and ...affiliation. Despite the competitive necessity of becoming a knowledge-based organization, senior managers have found it difficult to transform their firms through programs of knowledge management. This is particularly true if their organizations have long histories of process and a tradition of business success. This research examines the issue of effective knowledge management from the perspective of organizational capabilities. This perspective suggests that a knowledge infrastructure consisting of technology, structure, and culture along with a knowledge process architecture of acquisition, conversion, application, and protection are essential organizational capabilities or "preconditions" for effective knowledge management. Through analysis of surveys collected from over 300 senior executives, this research empirically models and uncovers key aspects of these dimensions. The results provide a basis for understanding the competitive predisposition of a firm as it enters a program of knowledge management.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of organizational commitment (with three dimensions of emotional commitment, continuous commitment, and normative commitment) on knowledge ...management processes (KMP) in project-based organizations, considering the mediating role of employee motivation. This research has an applied purpose and a descriptive and quantitative nature, which was conducted with a survey strategy. The statistical population is managers and experts of first-class construction companies in Tehran. Data collection was done through a standard questionnaire with 58 questions and hypotheses were tested with SmartPLS. The findings showed that emotional commitment and continuous commitment have a positive effect on employee motivation in project-oriented organizations, respectively, 0.56 and 0.2. Also, employee motivation has a positive effect of 0.51 on KMP in project-oriented organizations. Therefore, employee motivation plays a mediating role in influencing the dimensions of organizational commitment to KMP. But normative commitment does not have a positive effect on employee motivation in project-oriented organizations. On the other hand, employee motivation is influenced by their commitments to the organization and will have positive effects on intellectual capital management, KM and ultimately business performance. Among research backgrounds, the effect of organizational commitment dimensions on improving KMP with the mediating role of employee motivation in project-oriented organizations has not been investigated. It is expected that the results of this research can finally provide scientific and executive solutions to improve the performance of project-oriented organizations through the improvement of these components.

•A DSS based on a 3D fuzzy methodology has been developed.•The DSS allows to evaluate the level of alignment between an enterprise's knowledge and its KMSs.•The DSS proposes corrective actions and ...suggests strategies for KMS adoption to improve KM alignment.•The DSS is tested on a small and medium enterprise (SME) operating in the high-tech industry.
The purpose of this paper is to propose a three-dimensional fuzzy logic approach to evaluate the level of alignment between the knowledge an enterprise possesses and the knowledge management systems (KMSs) it adopts. The study also aims to propose the KMSs best suited to reducing misalignment and improving operational performance in terms of efficiency and effectiveness, analysing the level of alignment between an enterprise's knowledge and its KMSs from both the ontological and epistemological points of view. The authors have used the proposed methodology to develop a software-based Knowledge Management Decision Support System (KM-DSS), which was tested on a small and medium enterprise (SME) operating in the high-tech industry. The results highlight that the proposed DSS allows managers to evaluate knowledge management processes and identify which KMSs to adopt to improve alignment with the nature of the knowledge their enterprise possesses as well as to increase their level of efficiency and effectiveness.
In today’s business environment with fast growing communication and information technologies, knowledge management (KM) capabilities are a valuable source for innovation. However, little is known ...about the particular KM capabilities that lead to business model innovation (BMI) and whether their effect is dependent upon the firm’s orientation towards risk-taking. We examine the impact internal and external KM capabilities have on BMI and how these effects are moderated by its risk-taking tolerance. We empirically analyze a sample of 197 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) applying structural equation modeling (SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The results from the SEM indicate that particularly external KM capabilities stimulate BMI. This relationship is strengthened for firms with a high risk-taking tolerance. Internal knowledge is only effective for firms with a low risk-taking tolerance. The fsQCA results substantiate these findings and refine the SEM by providing particular antecedent conditions for high levels of BMI.
