How to deal with knowledge in small companies? Defining emergent KM approach
PublicationThis paper examines the concept of emergent KM approach in small companies. The origins of consideration are grounded in the theory of strategic management literature and in particular in the distinction between deliberate versus emergent approach towards strategic planning. Using the methodology of case study, we carried out an explorative research to analyse the characteristics of KM approach in two small companies located in...

How Small KIBS Companies Manage Their Intellectual Capital? Towards an Emergent KM Approach
PublicationThe growing interest in Intellectual Capital management and Knowledge Management is now reaching small companies, especially those in the Knowledge-Intensive Business Services (KIBS) sector. This paper aims to explore this issue, starting from the assumption that a planned and systematic approach to KM, as is used in large companies, is rarely applicable in small organizations. It is more likely that small companies adopt an approach...

Emergent Versus Deliberate Knowledge Management Strategy: Literature Review and Case Study Analysis
PublicationThis paper discusses emergent and deliberate knowledge management (KM) strategies on the basis of literature review and case study analysis. It grounds on the results of a comprehensive analysis of the literature on KM strategies and approaches adopted by companies of various sizes. Although KM strategies have been abundantly examined by scholars, not many studies compare deliberate and emergent approaches. By examining the case...

Knowledge management and factors influencing its implementation in small KIBS firms – evidence from Poland
PublicationPurpose – Even if the notion of knowledge management (KM) has been introduced more than three decades ago, the application of this concept in the context of small firms has still not been sufficiently explored. The relatively few contributions, however, agree on the fact that small companies do not manage knowledge the same way as their larger counterparts. In order to fill this gap, the present paper aims to the investigate the...

A Comprehensive Investigation of Knowledge Management Publications
PublicationRecent trends in knowledge management (KM) have increasingly indicated a lack of agreement, integration and classification between different KM domains. As such, experts are inadequately equipped when attempting to classify KM into their specific areas that could effectively contribute to a technocratic approach behind the organizational strategy. This paper illustrates a method of classifying KM publications by using a scheme...

A Strategy to Locate Fixed Points and Global Perturbations of ODE’s: Mixing Topology with Metric Conditions
PublicationIn this paper we discuss a topological treatment for the planar system z' = f (t, z) + g(t, z) where f and g are T -periodic in time and g(t, z) is bounded. Namely, we study the effect of g(t, z) in two different frameworks: isochronous centers and time periodic systems having subharmonics. The main tool employed in the proofs consists of a topological strategy to locate fixed points in the class of orientation preserving embedding...
