TL;DR: Development of a knowledge management framework based on individual and organizational perspectives is developed and the impact of user involvement, knowledge cognition, and organizational mechanisms on knowledge creation is identified.
Abstract: A comprehensive model that delineates the interrelationships among ‘user involvement’, ‘knowledge cognition’, ‘organizational mechanisms’, and ‘knowledge creation’ is absent. This study aims to fill this void. Unlike previous research, this study examined the issues of effective knowledge management from two perspectives: individuals, i.e. user involvement and knowledge cognition, and organizations, i.e. organizational mechanisms. In our framework, we argued that the composite effect of ‘user involvement’, ‘knowledge cognition’, and ‘organizational mechanisms’ influences the result of knowledge creation. In order to test the feasibility of this framework, we conducted an empirical study. This study employed a survey instrument to collect data from 500 organizations in manufacturing, trade, transportation, service industries, and academic institutions. A total of 271 useable responses were analyzed. The major contributions of this research are to: (a) develop a knowledge management framework based on individual and organizational perspectives; and (b) identify the impact of user involvement, knowledge cognition, and organizational mechanisms on knowledge creation. The implications of the study are provided, and further research directions are proposed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of an empirical study on German customers' motives to participate in the shareconomy and conclude that the lower prices compared to classical consumption offers provide the main motivation for customers using sharing offers.
Abstract: We present the results of an empirical study on German customers' motives to participate in the shareconomy. We focus on four different industries with two companies each: accommodation renting (Airbnb vs. Couchsurfing), car sharing (DriveNow vs. tamyca), commodities (Leihdirwas vs. WHY own it) and clothing (Pret-a-Louer vs. Kleiderkreisel). We can conclude that the lower prices compared to classical consumption offers provide the main motive for customers using sharing offers. Across industries, we find tremendous differences as regards the importance of further motives like environmental awareness or availability of offers. Based on the results of the study, we elaborate recommendations for the different sectors.

TL;DR: A novel analytic framework based on the concept of design service customers' competence set expansions by leveraging high technology service firms' capabilities and resources as well as novel multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques, is proposed and can be applied to novel e-business model definitions in the SOC design service or other high technology industries.
Abstract: As the IC (integrated circuit) industry migrates to the System-on-Chip (SOC) era, the SOC design service industry is emerging. Meanwhile, in the past decade, the emergence of Internet has changed the high technology marketing approaches while e-commerce has already become one of the most efficient marketing channels. Thus, most leading SOC design service firms tried to leverage novel e-commerce business models to provide better services including online silicon intellectual property (SIP) sourcing, transactions, integration, etc. to assist customers in enhancing their innovation competences to shorten their time to market and thus, time to money. However, defining appropriate e-business models for commercializing new SIPs or SOC design services is not easy for both aspects of technology as well as business development. On one hand, from the aspect of technology, the technical site R&D or production managers are familiar with SOC technologies while do not really understand the needs of customers' over the Internet. On the other hand, from the aspect of business development, the sales or marketing managers may be familiar with online customers' needs, wants as well as demands while are unfamiliar to SOC technology developments. To overcome the above mentioned problems, an appropriate e-business model definition framework can overcome this cognitive gap and maximize the value-added of online SOC design services. In this paper, a novel analytic framework based on the concept of design service customers' competence set expansions by leveraging high technology service firms' capabilities and resources as well as novel multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques, will be proposed. The framework being proposed can be leveraged by the design service firms to define an appropriate e-business model for possible SIP or design service businesses. Based on the proposed MCDM framework, an empirical study of an SIP commercialization e-business model definition inside an SIP Mall, an SIP e-commerce mechanism being operated by a SOC design service firm, will be provided for verifying the effectiveness of this novel analytic framework. The feasibility of the proposed framework in the real world can be verified by the empirical study. In the future, the novel MCDM framework can be applied to novel e-business model definitions in the SOC design service or other high technology industries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the barriers related to implementing different types of sustainability approaches and look for indications of similarities and differences across types of approaches, and find that performance measurement systems and access to industry-specific information, benchmark or reference cases are common areas of difficulty across all types.
