A taxonomical account of knowledge creation: research directions
2011
Article published in the journal: Journal of Knowledge Management Practice. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.tlainc.com/articl253.htm. Open access. The global knowledge economy could become the next booming economy. This point can be buttressed by the flood of literature on knowledge management. New job roles have emerged in many firms to handle the challenge of the global knowledge economy. But despite the developments, there are still gaps in literature and divergent views about the subject of knowledge and how it can be created. Knowledge is an abstract term that captures the art of knowing and what is being known, is difficult to study (Davenport and Völpel 2001). Knowle…
A Taxonomy as a Vehicle for Learning
2009
In this article, we describe the development of a classification system providing a framework for analysis of, and communication about, a subgroup of learning objects. The objects we consider are highly visual, animated, interactive, and mathematics-related, and we call them VaniMaps. Secondly, we discuss the use of the system. In the first phase, the development was based on literature studies and discussions on examples of VaniMaps. In the second phase, the classification system was tested by students and their responses were analyzed to identify possible improvements. Now, the system is developed further based on experience gained while using it for different purposes. We see several pos…
Exploring the relationship between big data analytics capability and competitive performance : The mediating roles of dynamic and operational capabil…
2020
A central question for information systems (IS) researchers and practitioners is if, and how, big data can help attain a competitive advantage. To address this question, this study draws on the resource-based view, dynamic capabilities view, and on recent literature on big data analytics, and examines the indirect relationship between a firm’s big data analytics capability (BDAC) and competitive performance. The study extends existing research by proposing that BDACs enable firms to generate insight that can help strengthen their dynamic capabilities, which, in turn, positively impact marketing and technological capabilities. To test our proposed research model, we used survey data from 202…

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESOURCE BASED FIRM BETWEEN VALUE APPROPRIATION AND VALUE CREATION
2005
Various authors have brought forth the idea that the increase in context turbulence and the relentless change in today’s economic and competitive environments have rendered it essential for an effective firm strategy to combine both value appropriation and value creation (Porter, (1996); Moran & Ghoshal, (1999); Venkataraman & Sarasvathy, (2001); Hitt et al., (2001b). Nonetheless, the methodological bases and the assumptions that characterize contributions concerning value appropriation and value creation are notably different and in many respects opposite to one another. These profound methodological differences hinder the possibility of a combined consideration of value appropriation and …

2018
Maģistra darba tēma - “Zināšanu vadīšanas problēmas organizācijā”. Mūsdienās ir liels informācijas apjoms, kurš ikdienā ir jāapstrādā, lai varētu kvalitatīvi veikt amata pienākumus. Zināšanu vadīšana ir būtisks organizācijas attīstības elements, tās mērķis ir nodrošināt zināšanu nodošanu kolēģiem. Zināšanu nenodošana kolēģiem var radīt situācijas, ka vienam darbiniekam ir pārāk liels darba apjoms, kuru viņš nevar izpildīt, tādējādi palielinot iespēju saslimt ar izdegšanas sindromu. Maģistra darba mērķis ir, pamatojoties uz pētniecisko literatūru un Valsts tiesu ekspertīžu biroja datu analīzi, identificēt zināšanu vadīšanas problēmas un izstrādāt priekšlikumus tās pilnveidošanai. Darbs ir sa…
Dialogues in partner abusive clients' group treatment: conversational tools used by counselors with differently motivated clients.
2014
This qualitative study investigated talk and interaction as process factors potentially influencing outcomes in abuser group intervention. The findings showed that (a) abusers participate in group programs with considerably different degrees of motivation; (b) the interaction in abusers’ various stages of change is characterized by different qualities; and (c) group counselors face a challenge in adapting their ways of working to abusers’ various needs and backgrounds. The findings demonstrate the importance of attending to the interactional elements in abuser treatment programs and show the value of matching an abuser’s needs and degree of motivation with the timing of interventions. It is…
How technology-based firms become also highly innovative firms? The role of knowledge, technological and managerial capabilities, and entrepreneurs’ …
2019
To what extent is the likelihood that a Technology-Based Firm – TBF – turns into a Technology-Based and Highly Innovative Firm – TB&InnF – is influenced by technical capabilities or managerial capabilities and education background? We analyse this question using a novel data panel assembled for 326 Spanish industrial firms, along the period 1998–2014. Our findings show the probability of becoming a TB&InnF growths when firms are able to accumulate a high endowment of knowledge and technological capabilities, and a managerial team with experience, a strong power position and previous technical or managerial education background. Results also indicate the CEO's educational profile in manageme…
