    Tracing the evolution of the literature on knowledge management in inter-organizational contexts: a bibliometric analysis

    No full text
    Purpose: Based on the growing interest devoted to knowledge management (KM) in inter-organizational contexts, the purpose of this paper is to systematize existing literature and understand how it developed over time, thus tracing its roots and evolution to unveil gaps and suggest new promising areas for future research. Design/methodology/approach: This study used bibliographic techniques to analyze a sample of 85 studies along three main periods (1998-2010, 2011-2014 and 2015-2019). In particular, this study focused on co-occurrences of keywords to identify the most dominant themes, as well as connections among these themes. Findings: Overall, the review shows the main outlets that have published papers on the topic of KM in inter-organizational contexts, as well as the theoretical background this research builds on. The temporal analysis exhibits the core topics that have persisted and grown consistently over time as the links between KM, innovation and networks. In addition, the review highlights new emerging themes, such as the human and social side of KM, and new interesting contexts of study (e.g. coopetition and open/user innovation), which opens exciting avenues for new research opportunities. Originality/value: This study illustrates the conceptual structure of the field in three distinct periods and contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the key topics and their interrelatedness within the area of KM in inter-organizational contexts. Both researchers and practitioners can profit from the study because it reveals consolidated topics while identifying areas that still need to be investigated to foster KM in inter-organizational settings

    The Journal of Natural Rubber Research, published by the Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia since 1929, has played a key role in the dissemination of natural rubber information all over the world. This paper analyses the authorship pattern, the range and frequency of references cited, the extent of acknowledgement and appendix or appendices being included in research articles of natural rubber, the types of collaborative research in natural rubber and the international collaboration scenario as portrayed in the Journal. Results indicated that the trend is towards multi-authorship and a high degree of collaboration between natural rubber researchers

    Lähestyn raideliikennettä Lapissa ja Lappiin matkailun näkökulmasta muutamasta eri suunnasta. Ensinnäkin tuon esille junan ja matkailun historialliset kytkökset Suomessa ja kansainvälisesti. Samalla käsittelen lyhyesti yhtä matkailun ikuisuusongelmaa, kysymystä ”matkailijasta” ja ”turistista”. Sen jälkeen pureudun matkailijoiden motivaatioihin, joihin myös artikkelin nimi viittaa. Sen yhteydessä esitän lyhyesti teorian ”matkailun kokonaisjärjestelmästä”, joka yksinkertaisuudessaan selittää teoreettisesti, miten matkailua voidaan tutkia, kehittää ja ymmärtää. Matkailun kokonaisjärjestelmän avulla voidaan myös oivallisesti tarkastella Lapin matkailun nykyisiä haasteita. Artikkelin kolmannessa osassa keskityn uusiutuviin ja uusiutumattomiin luonnonvaroihin sekä lentokoneiden riippuvuuteen öljystä – junat sitä vastoin voivat käyttää monia erilaisia energiamuotoja. Neljännessä osassa tuon esille eräitä Lapin alueiden erityspiirteitä matkailun kannalta, jotka on hyvä tiedostaa raideliikennettä kehitettäessä ja suunniteltaessa. Artikkelin lopussa teen yhteenvedon edellä todetusta ja esitän sen pohjalta muutamia mahdollisuuksia, joita raideliikenteen kehittäminen tuo Lapin matkailulle

    A feast for the imagination: An exploration of narrative elements of the text and hypertext of 'Song of Ice and Fire' by George R. R. Martin.

    Fantasy novel as a sub-genre of children’s literature has crossed over to the adult world resulting in the rapid growth of adult fantasy fiction in the last ten years. George R.R. Martins’ A Song of Ice and Fire, consisting of five volumes at present, is one example of extremely popular adult fantasy fiction which has sold more than fifteen million copies all over the world. But what is more remarkable is that A Song of Ice and Fire has spawned a TV series called A Game of Thrones, as well as a comic book adaptation, a card game, a board game, a role playing game and two video games. In other words, A Song of Ice and Fire is available for consumption both as text and hypertext. My paper sets out to investigate the text and hypertext of A Song and Ice and Fire with a view to gaining a greater insight into the narrative elements common to both genres of text and hypertext, making use of Conceptual Blending theory which offers a general model of meaning construction in which a small set of partially compositional processes operate in analogy, metaphor, counterfactuals and many other semantic and pragmatic phenomena. In this theory, understanding meaning involves the construction of blended cognitive models that include some structure from the input models as well as emergent structures that arise through the process of blendin

    Literature and the teaching of stylistics: An investigation into the pragmatics of community formation in the educational context of Namibia.

    The author’s paper is an attempt to investigate the success of the pedagogy of stylistics and pedagogical stylistics in the Namibian context. As an applied linguistics course, stylistics is eminently suitable for study and analysis of literature, because it clearly explicates literary effects through linguistic analysis. Many scholars have illustrated the use of stylistics analysis for the purposes of studying literature and teaching it, which is, pedagogical stylistics. However, this paper combines both the study of Stylistics as a discipline, which is the pedagogy of Stylistics, and the use of stylistics for teaching literature in general and poetry in particular. Namibia adopted English as its official language 22 years ago. Since then, both teachers and students have been struggling with the analysis of poetry. This study is an empirical one using qualitative methods in the author’s research to determine the impact of the study of Stylistics on the understanding and teaching of literature in Namibia. The author uses traditional British poetry from the 16th century up to the 20th century alongside postcolonial poetry to assess the importance of culture in understanding poetry and examine the advantage of using stylistics to teach the poems that the author selects. Keywords: pedagogy, pedagogical stylistics, foregrounding, parallelism, deviation, collocation, denotation, connotation, colligatio
