Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Knowledge Asset-Based View of Technology: Transfer in International Joint Ventures A knowledge asset-based framework of technology transfer is proposed, illustrated by examples from studies of two international joint ventures. The framework depicts the organization as a collection of embodied knowledge assets. Differences between firms result from the different combinations of embodied knowledge types that are used to accomplish the same ends. Technology transfer is the transfer of embodied knowledge assets between organizations. Four concepts, Transfer Scope, Transfer Method, Knowledge Architectures, and Organizational Adaptive Ability describe important aspects of the transfer process. Transfer scope describes the extent of embodied information being transferred. Transfer method describes the approaches used to transfer the technology. Knowledge architectures describe types of knowledge assets the firms possesses, and the relationships between them. The organization's ability describes its ability to change its architectures over time. Technology transfer involves selecting the proper transfer method given the demands of the transfer scope, working within the constraints of the existing organization's architectures, and its adaptive ability.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 61.0, University of South Wales, course: Management Theories and Philosophies, language: English, abstract: Knowledge has been identified as a crucial source of attaining competitive advantage and the creation of value (King and Zeithaml, 2003), and a fundamental component for growth and important criteria for organizations with global interest. Knowledge management is a method of collecting, organizing, and sharing worker intellectual capital all through the organization to guarantee the firm's effectiveness. Kelleher and Levene (2001) sharing knowledge all through the organization to promote current firm's business processes, brings about effective business process and eliminates unnecessary process. The resource based view has advanced to become an important theory in the field of strategy from the 1980's (Wernerfelt, 1984 ; Barney 1991 ; Grant 1991). The resource based view moves concentration of researchers in the field of strategy from external resource to organization's internal resources. It sets up the different types of resources different from other organizations as a crucial sources of advantage amongst rivals (Peteraf, 1993; Barney 1991) and determines different factors that assist organizations to keep up with their superior resource position and competitive advantage (Dierickx and Cool, 1989; Barney 1991; Ghemawat,1986). The necessity for developing competitive advantage over rivals is of top most discussion in strategic management subjects (Rahimli, 2012). Competitive advantage of an organization is said to exist when the resource of an organization is exceptional among other rivalry industries (Kotler and Keller, 2012). This essay will examine more literature in knowledge and knowledge management, the resource based view and competitive advantage and the contribution of knowledge management to attaining competitive advantage.

Book excerpt: Examination Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Information Management, grade: A, International Islamic University Malaysia (GSM), course: Master of Management, language: English, abstract: We are living in the Knowledge era, a new age which is presumably to have a different perspective or point of view and which will involve a new route for doing businesses. Smart and speedy is vital to the success of organizations in increasingly changing set of the knowledge age. The expansion and practice of KM (knowledge management) is dramatically and continuously growing in firms. For reason of development in knowledge management, the speed for acquiring a competitive advantage by means of knowledge grows at faster rate as compared to the past. KM has also been demonstrated for its prospective contribution in creating SCA (sustained competitive advantages) for firms. The accusation that knowledge management might be able to generate SCA (sustained competitive advantage) for organizations is provoking; working in this field is relatively underdeveloped, both theoretically and empirically. The recent studies on competitive advantage and knowledge management have stressed description, rather than empirical research knowledge management could achieve to such an advantage. A possible or potential infrastructure for expanding the conceptual analysis of knowledge management’s impacts on firm's CA (competitive advantage) is the RBV (resource-based view) of the organization which relates the CA of firms with capabilities and resources that are difficult to imitate and firm-specific. The RBV is recently the commanding theoretical view in strategic management published literature, and it concerns with expensive attributes of an organization which are viewed as the basic pillars of SA (competitive advantage). In RBV (resource-based view), knowledge is viewed as a strategic benefit or asset with the outcome potential to be a source of SCA (sustainable competitive advantage) for a company. The RBV of the organization extends and builds upon the resource-based theory of the organization. It originally developed by Penrose (1959) and enlarged by others (Alavi and Leidner 2001). It encircles the aspects and features to knowledge combination or integration and the four initial method by which knowledge is arranged.

Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.

Download or read book Technology Transfer written by Shastri Moonan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on technology transfer in the steel mini-mill industry. It identifies two central issues: how capacity is built and how demand is sustained, developing a three-dimensional perspective to bring into sharp focus the desirability and necessity of technology transfer. The three-dimensional perspective focuses on the changes in the marketplace for flat steel sheets, the responsiveness and sensitivity to these market changes, and applying the best available technology to obtain a high quality product. Prior to this study, technology transfer has been examined in a bivariate relationship, namely, how technology transfer contributed to the development process in developing countries and Newly Industrialized Countries (NICs). The framework formulated in this study showed that Japan was lagging behind all the steel-producing countries because, like the NICs, it imported the physical and organizational technologies that fostered its prosperity. Based on primary and secondary research, this study revealed that high levels of operational efficiency and sophisticated product quality were achieved through continuous improvement culminating in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) consisting of Real Time Process Control. On the other hand, the research also revealed that China based the improvement of its steel industry on self-reliance combined with judicious selection of foreign collaboration. The theoretical underpinnings of the crucial issues in this study led to the development of an interactive model of technology transfer based upon stock and flow variables.
