ARTICLE 1
Leadership Social Power as a Component of KMS Success
Vincent Scovetta (Long Island University, Brookville, NY, USA), Timothy J.
Ellis (Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA)
This study investigated the relationships between a leader's of Leadership
Social Power (LSP) profile and Knowledge Management Systems (KMS).
Previous research has established that KMS success is positively impacted by
leadership commitment to KMS, knowledge quality, and knowledge use. Yet how
little we know about the constructs of leadership that may impact KM. The goals
of this research focused on discovering how the manner in which leaders
exert power – their LSP profile – influenced each of these KM success
factors. This research was able to empirically demonstrate that LSP is a factor
of that success and was able to effectively predict Leadership Commitment to
KMS, Knowledge Content Quality, and Knowledge Use based upon predominate
manner of Leadership Social Power used by the KM leaders.

ARTICLE 2
The Knowledge-as-Object Metaphor: A Case of Semantic Pathology
David Hinds (H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business & Entrepreneurship, Nova
Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA), Arvind Gudi (H. Wayne
Huizenga School of Business & Entrepreneurship, Nova Southeastern
University, Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA)
It is argued that a “knowledge-as-object” metaphor is predominant within
knowledge management discourse and that this metaphor underlies our
conceptualization of knowledge in both an external sense and an internal sense.
This dual application of the word “knowledge” within the common context of
knowledge management represents a semantic pathology, a condition which
leads to confused thinking and dysfunctional problem solving. The pathology has
had profound effects on our understanding of knowledge management problems
and the nature of the solutions that are offered. A more balanced and
unbiased approach will require that both researchers and practitioners exhibit
a greater awareness of the knowledge-as-object metaphor and that they fully
appreciate the pervasiveness and power of the associated semantic
pathology.

ARTICLE 3
Individual Level Knowledge Transfer in Virtual Settings: A Review and
Synthesis
Zeying Wan (Sobey School of Business, Saint Mary's University, Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada), Nicole Haggerty (Richard Ivey School of Business, The
University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada), Yinglei Wang (Fred
C. Manning School of Business, Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia,
Canada)
Since the emergence of the knowledge-based view of the firm in the
mid-1990, researchers have made considerable effort to untangle the complexity of
how individuals create, capture and realize value from knowledge. To date,
this burgeoning field has offered rich and yet diverse insights involving
contextual, process and outcome factors that influence individual level
knowledge transfer. Concomitantly globalization and advancing technologies have
extended virtual work arrangements such as virtual teams and virtual
communities on the internet and considerably extended the knowledge base upon
which individuals can draw when creating, acquiring, sharing and integrating
knowledge. Research on individual level knowledge transfer has also
embraced these virtual environments spawning new insights. Hence the objective of
this paper is to assess current state of research and identify potential
avenues for future research at the intersection of these two dimensions. The
authors focus specifically on knowledge transfer research at the individual
level instead of the team or firm level and within virtual settings.
Applying a process view of knowledge transfer, they synthesize existing findings
and discuss issues surrounding the inputs, processes, and outputs. The
synthesis reveals both strengths and gaps in the literature. Accordingly, the
authors offer directions for future research that may address the gaps and
contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of individual level
knowledge transfer in virtual settings.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Mission of IJKM:
The primary objective of the International Journal of Knowledge
Management (IJKM) is to provide a comprehensive cross discipline forum for advancing
the understanding of the organizational, technical, human, and cognitive
issues associated with the creation, capture, transfer and use of knowledge
in organizations. The secondary objective of this Journal is to share
knowledge among researchers and practitioners with respect to the design,
development, implementation and maintenance of effective knowledge management
systems. The journal publishes high quality empirical and theoretical research
covering all aspects of knowledge management. In addition to full-length
research manuscripts, the journal publishes insightful research and practice
notes as well as case studies from all areas of knowledge management.
