Managing intellectual capital during the COVID-19 pandemic : normative approaches, technological evolutions and competitive advantage
(Lambert Academic Publishing, 2022) Dinu, Elena; Mitan, Andreea; Stratone, Mădălina Elena; Stoica, Valentin
This book merges a number of research topics developed by several researchers during their doctoral studies in Management. The convergence point for all the studies here is represented by the role of various intangible organisational resources in achieving competitive advantage and growth in a context of global uncertainty, fed by economic, social, political, cultural and environmental changes, that has been further affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The texts are primarily concerned with the importance of intellectual capital management for enabling technological innovation, a prerequisite for performance and success in the digital economy. Despite the many socioeconomic effects associated with the pandemic, one of its unintended developments was accelerating the digital transformation of companies and public services, which offers the canvas for future growth and development.
From theory of knowledge management to practice
(IntechOpen, 2024-01-31) García Márquez, Fausto Pedro; Sánchez Loja, René Vinicio
From Theory of Knowledge Management to Practice is a collaborative compilation featuring contributions from various authors. The book amalgamates analytical principles with the practical aspects of knowledge management in the business realm. Its unique contribution lies in bridging the gap between engineering/technology disciplines and the organizational, administrative, and planning dimensions of knowledge management. This integration is particularly valuable when viewed in conjunction with other sub-disciplines like economics, finance, marketing, and decision and risk analysis, among others. The book not only introduces but also illustrates knowledge management theories through practical case studies. These case studies showcase significant outcomes across different sectors, drawing on diverse real-world scenarios. The theoretical framework is accompanied by relevant analytical techniques, adopting a progressive approach that transitions from basic concepts to intricate and dynamic decision-making processes involving multiple data points, including big data and extensive datasets. The integration of computational techniques, dynamic analysis, probabilistic methods, and mathematical optimization further enhances the book's utility, offering expert support for the analysis of multi-criteria decision-making problems characterized by specific constraints and requirements.
Talent management in higher education
(Emerald Publishing, 2024) Thunnissen, Marian; Boselie, Paul
Up until now Talent Management (TM) in higher education institutes has received limited academic attention. This diverse collection offers a thoughtful overview of how talent is defined in higher education; the implementation of TM practices; how this is perceived by employees; and its impact on academic performance. Talent Management in Higher Education uses a multi-level and multi-actor perspective and positions the contemporary TM issues of universities in the broader institutional context in which universities are constituted and the historical developments regarding HRM and TM policies. Both scholars and practitioners will appreciate the insights into the issues of different academic systems, increasing the readers awareness of the contextual relevance of talent management. All chapters in the book are written by scholars who are expert on research in talent management or in Higher Education, but who are also insiders in the academic community. Through their personal expertise they mirror academia as a research object.
Internet of production : fundamentals, methods and applications
(Springer, 2024) Brecher, Christian; Schuh, Günther; der Aalst, Wil; Jarke, Matthias; Piller, Frank T.; Padberg, Melanie
This seminal compendium, available through open access, illuminates the forefront of digital collaboration in production. It introduces the visionary concept of the Internet of Production (IoP), an ambitious initiative by Germany's esteemed Cluster of Excellence at RWTH Aachen University. This handbook pioneers the integration of data, models, and knowledge across development, production, and user cycles, offering interdisciplinary insights into production technology's horizons with the overall objective to create a worldwide lab. The work is organized into seven key parts, each contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the IoP. Part I lays the foundation with interdisciplinary visions and concepts. Part II delves into IoP's infrastructure, encompassing digital shadows and actionable artificial intelligence. Part III examines materials within the digitalized production landscape. Part IV confronts the challenges and potentials of production processes under novel digitalization methods. Part V focuses on production management with data-driven decision support, while Part VI explores agile development processes. Finally, Part VII delves into the interplay between internal and external perspectives in the IoP, human-centered work design, and platform-based ecosystems. Supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG), this compendium redefines manufacturing through the transformative IoP lens. Embrace this scholarly endeavor to embrace technological advancement. This is an open access book.
Family firms and family constitution : a management perspective
(Emerald Publishing, 2024) Fleischer, Holger; Prigge, Stefan
Family constitutions in family-owned firms are becoming increasingly popular around the world. While some, though not much, research examining this trend has come from a management research perspective, legal scholarship of family constitutions is even scarcer. The first volume of this new series brings together chapters from the ‘Law and Management of Family Firms’ conference which took place at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Hamburg, presenting legal, managerial, historical and comparative perspectives of family constitutions. Family Firms and Family Constitution delves deeply into topics as diverse as ownership, succession, governance, justice and more, all from a managerial and legal perspective from around the world. The pioneering Law and Management of Family Firms series publishes volumes following the annual Hamburg Conference: Law and Management of Family Firms, the international and interdisciplinary forum for family business research. The conference is organized by the Max Planck Institute and the Institute for Mittelstand and Family Firms (HSBA Hamburg School of Business Administration). It brings together two distinct and previously disconnected disciplines of law and management, benefiting scholars, lawyers, consultants, and family office practitioners.
Crowdsourcing in management research : a new tool for scientific inquiry
(Routledge, 2024) Lenart Gansiniec, Regina
Crowdsourcing in Management Research explores the evolving landscape of academic research in the context of contemporary legal, social, cultural, and technological shifts. The book delves into the intricate processes and challenges associated with managing crowdsourcing initiatives in science. It sheds light on the essential competencies required by those initiating crowdsourcing projects, offering practical insights for effective implementation. Furthermore, the text explores the future directions of crowdsourcing in science, considering the influence of emerging technologies such as blockchain, digital storytelling, gamification, metaverse, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence. As one of the few comprehensive resources available, the book serves as a valuable guide for scholars, researchers, and graduate students interested in crowdsourcing paradigms. It emphasizes accessibility by avoiding unnecessary jargon and caters to non‑specialist readers, including booksellers and librarians. The geographical and temporal relevance of the work is underlined, providing a contemporary perspective on the subject. The inclusion of well‑known and topical case studies enhances the book’s relevance, while groundbreaking content ensures its significance in the rapidly evolving field of management research.
