Knowledge Management and Leadership: a bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review
No full textPurpose: Effectively handling knowledge is crucial for any organisation in order to survive and prosper in the turbulent environments of the modern era. Leadership is a central element for knowledge creation, acquisition, utilisation and integration processes. Based on these considerations, this study offers an overview of the evolution of the literature regarding the knowledge management-leadership relationship published over the last twenty years.
Design/methodology/approach: A bibliometric analysis coupled with a systematic literature review were performed over a dataset of 488 peer-reviewed articles published from 1990 to 2018.
Findings: We discovered the existence of four well-polarised clusters with the following thematic focuses: human and relational aspects, systematic and performance aspects, contextual and contingent aspects, and cultural and learning aspects. We then investigated each thematic cluster by reviewing the most relevant contributions within them.
Research limitations/implications: Based on the bibliometric analysis and the systematic literature review we developed an interpretative framework aimed at uncovering several promising and little explored research areas, thus suggesting an agenda for future knowledge management-leadership research. Some steps of the paper selection process may have been biased by the interpretation of the researcher. We addressed this concern by performing a multiple human subject reading process whose reliability was confirmed by a Krippendorf’s Alpha coefficient value > 0.80.
Originality/value: To our best knowledge, this is the first study to map, systematise and discuss the literature concerned to the topic of the knowledge management-leadership relationship
Travelling along the public service co-production road: a bibliometric analysis and interpretive review
No full textA bibliometric analysis and an interpretive review have been undertaken to advance the debate on public service co-production and public value co-creation, conceiving them as the cornerstones of public service logic. The systematization of 114 articles, which were sorted in 4 clusters through bibliographic coupling, revealed a 'new normality' of public service delivery relying on citizens' involvement as value co-creators. Citizens and regular producers should be empowered to act as partners in co-designing and co-delivering public services. However, the interaction between citizens and regular producers generates value tensions, which should be addressed to avoid backlash on public value generation
Mapping the State of the Art to Envision the Future of Large-Scale Citizen Science Projects: An Interpretive Review
No full textCitizen science, i.e. citizens' involvement in research activities, is achieving an increasing relevance across disparate scientific domains. However, literature is not consistent in arguing citizen science's attributes and implications when large-scale projects are concerned. The paper systematizes extant scientific knowledge in this field and identifies avenues for further developments through a bibliometric analysis and an interpretive review. Various approaches to citizen science are implemented to engage citizens in scientific research. They can be located in a continuum composed of two extremes: a contributory approach, which serves research institutions' needs, and an open science approach, which focuses on citizens' active participation in knowledge co-creation. Although contributory citizen science paves the way for participatory science, it falls short in empowering citizens, which is central in the open science approach. Interventions aimed at enabling citizens to have an active role in co-creating knowledge in a perspective of science democratization are key to overcoming the understanding of citizen science as a low-cost model of scientific research and to boost the transition towards an open science approach
What does make work smart in the public sector? Insights from a bibliometric analysis and interpretive literature review
No full textKnowledge Management in the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Mapping the Literature and Scoping Future Avenues
No full textDue to increased competitive pressure, modern organizations tend to rely on knowledge and its exploitation to sustain a long-term advantage. This calls for a precise understanding of knowledge management (KM) processes and, specifically, how knowledge is created, shared/transferred, acquired, stored/retrieved, and applied throughout an organizational system. However, since the beginning of the new millennium, such KM processes have been deeply affected and molded by the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, also called Industry 4.0, which involves the interconnectedness of machines and their ability to learn and share data autonomously. For this reason, the present study investigates the intellectual structure and trends of KM in Industry 4.0. Bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review are conducted on a total of 90 relevant articles. The results reveal 6 clusters of keywords, subsequently explored via a systematic literature review to identify potential stream of this emergent field and future research avenues capable of producing meaningful advances in managerial knowledge of Industry 4.0 and its consequences

No full textBusiness, Management, and Entrepreneurship (BME) education uncovers a valuable learning space within the online environment. Scholars and practitioners have embraced distinctive perspectives to exlpore BME education online. This led to a fragmentation of approaches and practices aimed at recontextualising BME education online. The article intends to overcome such fragmentation. For this purpose, it undertakes a hybrid literature review, consisting of a bibliographic analysis to map the scholarly debate on BME online education, and an interpretive review to systematize contemporary scientific knowledge. Drawing on a knowledge core of 106 articles, six clusters were identified through bibliographic coupling. The research streams embedded by the clusters deal with the challenges faced in the implementation of BME online education, such as the arrangement of online learning spaces, the promotion of collaboration among learners, the empowerment of instructors to address the learners’ evolving needs, and the structuring of virtual educational institutions. Tailored interventions are required to avoid that BME online education paves the way for anomic learning. Virtual learning spaces should enrich interpersonal exchanges, engaging learners in co-creating value with instructors. Digital technologies enact unprecedented opportunities for online learning, leveraging rich social connections and expanding the reach of educational activities

The Role of Entrepreneurial Attitudes and Behaviors in Smart Manufacturing
No full textThe fourth industrial revolution has brought into the competitive arena many challenges. This new era of digitalization and machine-machines interaction with big flows of data has been mainly analysed from a technical and functional perspective. Nevertheless, this changes will heavily impact also on the human capital that works in the industrial and manufacturing sector especially, where the smart manufacturing approach is always more present. For this reason, this paper tries to address the main challenges that will be soon faced by this type of workers that need to become knowledge (or knowledge-based) workers. We have built a theoretical model that may help micro-mechanisms through which knowledge workers with higher entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviours may perform better and thus they will be actively sought by organizations in the future. We infer that this attitudes and behaviours will directly benefit the individual performance in terms of higher knowledge creation. In addition, using the knowledge-based view theory, we explain how this increased performance may also improve organizational processes specifically the general knowledge acquisition of the firm.
