The economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic has contributed to changing the philosophy of managing a multi-generational team. The COVID-19 pandemic is accompanied by a general atmosphere of uncertainty, which creates a sense of chaos and disorganization. Its effects are felt by numerous organizations from many industries. Entrepreneurs have the opportunity to maintain business continuity by implementing remote work. Companies are increasingly opening up to remote work, seeing many new opportunities in it that they want to actively use. Hence, there is an urgent need for companies to develop effective actions that will motivate a multi-generational team to share knowledge, strengthen its skills and competences in this area, and build commitment to ongoing work for optimal performance of permanent duties. Although it requires more effort, especially from the managerial staff, remote implementation of the duties entrusted to multi-generational teams may prove effective in achieving business goals thanks to the knowledge and experience of specialists. Team management in the covid reality has taught Polish managers that in order to stimulate people to be active in sharing knowledge, it will be crucial to show care for the needs of employees and integrate them with the goals of the organization. This approach underlies how companies manage multi-generational teams efficiently in the Covid reality and will pay off in the future.The considerations in the article were based on literature studies and the analysis of the results of surveys conducted from March to November 2022 on a group of 258 people representing all generations.The first part of the study is of a theoretical nature and discusses the factors determining the efficient sharing of knowledge in multi-generational teams in conditions of remote work forced by the epidemiological situation. The second part of the study concerns pilot studies conducted in Polish companies in order to obtain and analyze the opinions of employees regarding the conditions for sharing knowledge in the situation of remote work, which came suddenly. This article is an attempt to answer the question of whether belonging to a specific generational group has a positive effect on the transfer of knowledge during a pandemic. Obtaining a cross-sectional nature of the considerations is a contribution to further and extended research in the field of the issues raised.

The paper discusses how three organisations with innovative management models support the creation and work of knowledge communities. In the current unstable environment, knowledge, the ability to acquire it, create it and share it becomes one of the most critical aspects of the success of any organisation. Even though organisations may not be consciously aware of this, some adopt specific innovative management models that support their work with knowledge. The management model is how an organisation is managed, e.g. how managerial activities are executed, interlinked and organised into the systemic approach. Traditionally, management models were based on hierarchies and clear rules concerning managerial functions (planning, deciding, organising, leadership and controlling). Innovative management models are flatter; employees are empowered to decide and set objectives; control is decentralised. Some innovative management models are self-managing and look unusual, even crazy, as they deny our expectations about how organisations should be managed. Innovative management models help improve knowledge flow and sharing in an organisation. The paper provides examples of organisations whose unusual management models go even further and support or are intended to support the creation and work of knowledge communities. Knowledge communities usually benefit organisations by providing an environment where employees extensively interact, share and create knowledge. They are the silos of new knowledge, inventions and innovations. Organisations with unusual management models use different managerial tools and methods to support knowledge communities. Some organisations are successful, and some fail. In the paper, we show examples of both groups of organisations and explain why some management models work and support knowledge communities, and others do not. The paper uses secondary data about organisations available in the theoretical and managerial literature on these organisations and information from their web pages.

Knowledge processes, such as knowledge creation, sharing and application, enable knowledge production that increases innovation and superior organizational performance. Knowledge processes are ultimately and fundamentally conducted – or not engaged in – by the individuals. Hence, knowledge production is disrupted if individuals are prevented from using their knowledge production potential. One potential factor that causes disruption in knowledge production is the lack of autonomy. As autonomy means self-governance and independency, it enables independent and unique knowledge processing by the individual, and thereby supports both individual and collective level knowledge production. Despite the importance of the role of autonomy in knowledge production, there is no research-based knowledge of which knowledge process have been studied from the perspective of autonomy, and what has been left unexplored. This research clarifies the research literature by finding out which knowledge processes have been studied from the point of view of autonomy. Also, what has been found concerning the relationship between autonomy and knowledge processes is considered. The research was conducted as a systematic literature review supplemented by qualitative content analysis in which the articles up the year 2022 from databases Scopus and Web of Science were reviewed. The most notable finding of this study is the lack of research between autonomy and knowledge identification and the paucity of research between autonomy and knowledge internalization. This is a significant finding since knowledge identification affect what knowledge is processed and produced in the organization. Internalizations in turn affects knowledge-based orientation and knowledge production in the organizational environment. This paper contributes to the organizational research literature by summing up the existing research on the interface of autonomy and knowledge processes and provides a refined understanding on the central role of autonomy in the effective implementation of knowledge processes, as well as avenues for future research.
知识过程,如知识创造、共享和应用,使知识生产能够增加创新和卓越的组织绩效。知识过程最终和根本是由个人进行的——或者不参与。因此,如果阻止个人发挥其知识生产潜力,知识生产就会中断。导致知识生产中断的一个潜在因素是缺乏自主权。自治意味着自我治理和独立,它使个体能够进行独立的、独特的知识加工,从而支持个人和集体层面的知识生产。尽管自主性在知识生产中的作用很重要,但目前还没有从自主性的角度研究知识过程的研究性知识,也没有对知识过程进行探索。本研究通过找出哪些知识过程从自主的角度进行了研究,从而对研究文献进行了梳理。此外,本文还考虑了自主性与知识过程之间的关系。本研究采用系统文献综述和定性内容分析相结合的方法,对Scopus和Web of Science数据库中截至2022年的文章进行了综述。本研究最显著的发现是自主与知识认同之间的研究缺失,以及自主与知识内化之间的研究缺失。这是一个重要的发现,因为知识识别影响组织中处理和产生的知识。内部化反过来影响组织环境中的知识导向和知识生产。本文通过总结现有的关于自主与知识过程界面的研究,为组织研究文献做出了贡献,并对自主在知识过程有效实施中的核心作用提供了精细化的理解,以及未来研究的途径。

Despite a global commitment to minimise the impact of tourism on the environment and maximise its benefits for local communities, the pressure of tourism on natural resources is still increasing. In this context, ecotourism becomes key to safeguarding the integrity of the ecosystem while producing economic benefits that can ultimately encourage the conservation of the environment. However, despite its benefits, there is still a need to develop the market presence of ecotourism strategies and initiatives. Thus, tourists' positive intention toward ecotourism and organisations that seek to meet the demand of the increasingly environmentally conscious market are key to the success of ecotourism initiatives. In the context of the information era, organisations may create a trustworthy relationship with ecotourists by providing them with accurate and engaging information on their environmental policies and actions. This relationship may result in the emergence of a critical intangible asset such as eco-tourism capital as tourists' decisions are based on image, perception and recommendations from social groups. For organisations to benefit from eco-tourism capital, they should use social media to generate opportunities for eco-tourists to experience and appreciate nature, respect local cultures, support local communities and minimise and mitigate their negative impact on the environment. Based on the above, the aim of this study is to explore, via a descriptive analysis of data collected from international ecotourists, how social media can be used to create eco-tourism capital. To that aim, we explore factors relating to ecotourism knowledge, green trust, and exposure to information on social media provided by ecotourism service providers.

The current study suggests the presence of counter-knowledge to spread misperceptions or misunderstandings arising from the existence of institutional voids. Blind spots may be partly caused by such counter-knowledge that triggers the knowledge gaps of the actors in the face of the new information and knowledge society. Find or instance, when we talk about blind spots in the Spanish National Healthcare System (SNHS), we refer to the presence of incorrect stereotypes among the different actors, the feminisation of the profession even though the elderly population they serve continues to associate the figure of the doctor with the masculine role, the lack of awareness about the importance of data protection or cyberattacks. This study suggests that counter-knowledge is likely to result in the lack of clear vision after suffering from blind spots. Such counter-knowledge hinders people from things that most of us take for granted, which creates difficulties for engagement among multifaceted stakeholders with diverse expertise and specialities to overcome blind spots.

This paper reviews the management and organization studies literature underpinning the construct of knowledge loss. It proposes that five clusters of knowledge loss influence the capacity of organizations to retain their valuable organizational knowledge. Such clusters include hanging, fading, disengaging, dissolving, and vanishing. To overcome the disruptive consequences of knowledge loss, this paper proposes five potential organizational interventions including reminding, refreshing, re-acquiring, re-building, and re-inventing. This paper discusses the implications for theory and managerial practice in the context of the knowledge management literature and provides directions to future research.

Discarded fishing equipment and other fishing waste are thought to account for 27% of all ocean litter. To achieve a sustainable circular blue economy, working closely with all stakeholders to eliminate waste and preserve marine ecosystems is crucial. By integrating data, technology, and waste reduction into business processes, businesses can adopt more sustainable practices and reduce the impact of plastic pollution in the ocean. This paper promotes circularity and recyclability through a blue circular economy approach. The primary objective is to establish a digital chain of custody that traces the transformation of marine debris from fishing operations into secondary raw materials. A case study is presented, highlighting the active involvement of fishermen in the recycling process. The paper introduces a framework for evaluating organisational collaboration in adopting circular economy strategies and incorporating knowledge into their business processes. The solution encompasses a data governance approach and a digital chain of custody, facilitating stakeholder collaboration towards a shared objective.

The subject of intuition in management is interesting and has been discussed for decades. Repositories of scientific publications have in their collections hundreds of publications related to the use of intuition in management. It is necessary and reasonable to summarize the achievements of world science in this area. The best tool to do this will be bibliometric analyse. Bibliometric analysis is a popular method for exploring and analysing large volumes of scientific data but it`s application in business research is relatively new. A review of publications on this subject will indicate the state of this area of research. As part of the research, an analysis of the number of publications and the number of citations, and keywords statistics will be carried out. The database will be Web of Science. Zotero and VOSviever program will be the research tools. The review will be carried out following the methodology and will be divided into 5 stages, comprising: preliminary search, full search and literature acquisition, evaluation of collected documents, synthesis and analysis of results, and summary of results. The results will allow for assessing the research activity and the stage of development of the research in the field of intuition in management. A map of keywords related to the described issue will be created. What is the level of interest of scientists in this subject? Is it growing or going down? It will reliably summarise the current state of knowledge, providing information about gaps in the literature. It can also be a way to identify new research areas.
管理中的直觉这个主题很有趣,已经被讨论了几十年。科学出版物库收集了数百篇与直觉在管理中的应用有关的出版物。总结世界科学在这一领域的成就是必要的和合理的。最好的工具是文献计量学分析。文献计量分析是探索和分析大量科学数据的常用方法,但在商业研究中的应用相对较新。对这一主题的出版物进行审查将表明这一研究领域的现状。作为研究的一部分,将对出版物数量和被引次数进行分析,并对关键词进行统计。数据库将是Web of Science。Zotero和VOSviever程序将成为研究工具。审查将按照方法学进行,并将分为5个阶段,包括:初步检索、全面检索和文献获取、收集文件的评估、结果的综合和分析以及结果的总结。结果将允许评估研究活动和发展阶段的研究领域的直觉管理。将创建与所描述问题相关的关键字映射。科学家对这一课题的兴趣程度如何?是增长还是下降?它将可靠地总结当前的知识状况,提供有关文献空白的信息。它也可以是确定新的研究领域的一种方式。

Goodwill is the most intangible of intangibles and continues to generate great debate in academic, business, and regulatory circles, with no consensus on its subsequent measurement. In early 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published a discussion paper entitled DP/2020/1 Business Combinations – Disclosures, Goodwill and Impairment, to gather input on more useful disclosures on business combinations, bringing back to the discussion the subject of the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The IASB received comments on its proposed disclosures, as well as new evidence and arguments on how to account for goodwill, having received 193 comment letters from a wide range of stakeholders. This study aims to analyse the perception of those interested parties about the subsequent measurement of goodwill proposed by the IASB, as well as the arguments used for its reasoning. For this purpose, the content of stakeholder’s comment letters was analysed and classified as academics, auditors, investors, standard setters, preparers, regulators/securities, and others, and by region. In addition, the preparers’ comment letters were subclassified by sectors of activity to identify differences in the perception of preparers by industry. These differences point to the need to reflect on the existence of more than one goodwill measurement model, which best fits the sector of activity, a pioneering aspect in research on goodwill. The results reveal a preference trend for the systematic amortisation of goodwill. In all categories of stakeholders, apart from the "Others", the preference is for the reintroduction of goodwill amortisation. Similarly, most stakeholders in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania are in favour of reintroducing the systematic amortisation of goodwill. In some industries (Automotive, Banking, Luxury Goods, Electrical Appliances, Energy and Technology) no preparer prefers the impairment-only model, which suggests that perhaps in those sectors of activity, this model is not suitable. This study contributes to the literature on the subsequent measurement of goodwill, as well as to the different stakeholders, by presenting, under different perspectives of analysis, the respondents' preferences on the subsequent measurement of goodwill, as well as the arguments in favour of each model.

This study aims to analyse the perception of those interested parties about the subsequent measurement of goodwill proposed by the IASB, as well as the arguments used for its reasoning. For this purpose, the content of stakeholder’s comment letters was analysed and classified as academics, auditors, investors, standard setters, preparers, regulators/securities, and others, and by region. In addition, the preparers’ comment letters were subclassified by sectors of activity to identify differences in the perception of preparers by industry. These differences point to the need to reflect on the existence of more than one goodwill measurement model, which best fits the sector of activity, a pioneering aspect in research on goodwill. The results reveal a preference trend for the systematic amortisation of goodwill. In all categories of stakeholders, apart from the \"Others\", the preference is for the reintroduction of goodwill amortisation. Similarly, most stakeholders in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania are in favour of reintroducing the systematic amortisation of goodwill. In some industries (Automotive, Banking, Luxury Goods, Electrical Appliances, Energy and Technology) no preparer prefers the impairment-only model, which suggests that perhaps in those sectors of activity, this model is not suitable. This study contributes to the literature on the subsequent measurement of goodwill, as well as to the different stakeholders, by presenting, under different perspectives of analysis, the respondents' preferences on the subsequent measurement of goodwill, as well as the arguments in favour of each model.","PeriodicalId":107011,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Knowledge Management","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135362733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the significant role of family firms in economies throughout the world, their academic research is relatively young. Furthermore, previous empirical studies in the field have focused on general topics, rather than examining how family firms are similar or different from other types of organisations in the decision-making process. Little is known about what drives family firms to implement environmental concerns in their strategies. Based on the above-mentioned findings, the research aims to analyse what the main drivers of environmental responsibility are in family firms in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries. The empirical study uses logistic regression that examines how selected important factors influence the adoption of strategic objectives that mention environmental or climate change issues. The study uses a data set from the World Bank Enterprise Survey 2019 and examines the attitudes of family businesses in four CEE countries (Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Poland, and Estonia). The findings revealed a significant influence of the environmental manager, the customer's environmental requirements, and the energy performance standards on adopting strategic environmental objectives in family companies. We also consider the environmental manager as a key factor in terms of knowledge transfer and management of environmental responsibility in the firm. The results of this research provide a new perspective on the environmental responsibility of family businesses and explain which drivers should be considered when deciding to establish strategic objectives related to environmental issues. Managers should take these findings into account when deciding which tools to use to increase pro-environmental behaviour and implement environmental strategies.
