    Digital transformation in the construction industry: Applying a Knowledge Management System lens
    (2024-01-03) Kruesi, Lisa; Gao, Shijia; Anwar, Misita; Cranefield, Jocelyn; Oliver, Gillian
    Over the past decade stakeholders in the Australian construction industry have made limited progress with digital transformation of their sector. To identify the gaps in the industry’s approach to data and information management a conceptual Knowledge Management System (KMS) theoretical Framework was developed and applied. The Framework focused on five processes, including the project definition, design, build and commission, handover and closeout, and operations and maintenance, that are foundational for the lifecycle of a building project’s knowledge system. Participatory research was the methodology applied. Using case study data, five KM processes were aligned with the people, process, technology, and content elements of knowledge projects. Overarching Culture and Governance dimensions were added to the Framework. This original investigation describes the knowledge system strengths and weaknesses in two major, local construction projects. The findings can be used to seek improvements to data management and information systems to underpin digital transformation.

    Understanding the Negative Effects of Social Networking Mobile App Notifications on the Attention of Young People and Adults: A Systematic Literature Mapping
    (2024-01-03) Xavier, Charles; Cataldo, Wendy; Wolfgand Matsui Siqueira, Sean; Garcia, Ana Cristina; Mello, Carlos
    Social networking apps exert a significant influence on contemporary society, particularly among the younger generations. Consequently, it is imperative to investigate young people and adult´s interaction with these technologies, while identifying the challenges. Previous research has examined the usage of social networking apps, with a specific emphasis on their impact on human cognitive abilities, including memory, concentration, and learning. This Systematic Literature Mapping aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the state of knowledge regarding the effects of notifications on social networks on the attention spans of individuals between 11 and 29 years old. The study initially considered 653 papers identified in 5 key repositories, selecting 24 papers during the review process. Additionally, it presents solutions proposed by researchers to address these challenges, shedding light on the diverse data collection and analysis methodologies employed in each research endeavor. Notably, a consistent consensus emerges from the reviewed studies underscoring that the mere presence of smartphones affects participants' attention levels. Furthermore, these notifications have been shown to have a tangible impact on cognitive functions, encompassing reasoning ability and working memory, thereby emphasizing the importance of understanding, and mitigating these effects.

    Systemic Coaching and Enneagramics for Organization Knowledge Flow
    (2024-01-03) Kaiser, Alexander; Nissen, Mark
    Problems emerge when employees feel that their jobs are meaningless and unfulfilling. Often the possible best version of the employee does not match and correspond with the potential best version as viewed by the organization. This represents a knowledge management (KM) problem: essential types of knowledge must flow between organizations and their employees, which spans individual and organization KM, along the dimension referred to as reach. In this article, we outline an approach that fosters essential knowledge flow through two complementary techniques: 1) vocation-coaching and 2) Enneagram dynamics.

    It ain’t about Words – The Role of Aesthetics in Enhancing an Organizations Capacity to Act. The Case of a semi-professional American Football Team in Europe
    (2024-01-03) Kerschbaum, Clemens
    Much has been written about Knowledge Acquisition and supporting factors in order to build an organizations capacity to act. This case study reports insights from an entire year of managing a collegiate semi-professional American Football team in Europe and the implications for Knowledge Management in practice. Among the most important findings is the observation that the success of even the most elaborate and well-intentioned strategies for individual, as well as organizational knowledge acquisition and capacity building relies heavily on the individual´s aesthetic perceptions of respective measures and actions taken. Furthermore, in the context of non-professional organizations, the perceived success of the organization appears to be strongly tied to the fulfillment of each stakeholders value expectations towards the organization.
