ARTICLE 1
Towards a Comprehensive Process Model for Transitioning MIS to KMS
Ricardo Anderson (The University of the West Indies, Mona-Western Jamaica
Campus, Montego Bay, Jamaica), Gunjan Mansingh (The University of the West
Indies, Mona, Kingston, Jamaica)
Information Systems today are dominated by large amounts of computing
infrastructure often mapping business processes to people and data. The
conversion of this data into meaningful information is fairly well established,
although these systems have not been extensively exploited within developing
countries. Even in developed economies, where resources and experience
flourish, many still struggle with moving from information management to
knowledge management. Given that knowledge is posited as the new organizational
wealth, it becomes important to integrate knowledge into improving the
business and its operations. In this study, a comprehensive process model that
guides the conversion of an existing information system to a knowledge
management system is developed and evaluated. This is primarily applicable in the
developing country context. The results indicate that the model
sufficiently represents and organizes the activities to be carried out to meet the
desired outcome of converting an existing information system into a knowledge
management system.

ARTICLE 2
Knowledge Management in 2016: A Newer Delphi with Applications
Ronald John Lofaro (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Orange Beach, AL,
USA)
This article will very briefly indicate some current topics and
developments in the field of cognitive engineering (CE), knowledge engineering (KE)
and knowledge management (KM). From there, it will present an extensive look
at the development and usage of new Dephi model, starting with its origin
in the 1980's and later, its successful usages with modifications into the
early 2000's. An effort will be made to show how that new Delphi, called the
small-group Delphi paradigm (SGDP), can now be again modified to take
advantage of expansions in the field of KE/KM and of the great strides in
communication and computer technology. Next, an example of how such an up-dated,
modified SGDP could be applied to a current, serious problem in aviation,
as well as an indication of other issues for which this new Delphi also
could provide useful results.

ARTICLE 3
A Contingency Approach to Knowledge Management: Finding the Best Fit
Meliha Handzic (International Burch University, Sarajevo, Bosnia and
Herzegovina), Kursad Ozlen (Pamukkale University, Denizli, Turkey), Nermina
Durmic (International Burch University, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
A contingency perspective of knowledge management recognises the need for a
fit between knowledge management solutions (KMS) and decision making
contexts which they support. In order to determine the best fit, a field survey
was carried out to investigate the impact of two different types of KMS
(technical and social) on decision makers' behaviour and performance in
different decision contexts (simple and complex). The results provide partial
support for the contingency view. As expected, the study identified social KMS
as the best fit for complex contexts, based on subjects' superior
performance from comparable adoption of both KMS. In contrast, the study identified
that both KMS were an equally good fit for simple contexts, based on
similar levels of subjects' performance, but social KMS was preferred in terms
of adoption. These findings contribute to much needed empirical evidence for
research and provide useful guidance for practice. However, their
limitations warrant further study.

ARTICLE 4
Knowledge Retention in the Service Industry
Rodrigo Valio Dominguez Gonzalez (University of Campinas, Limeira, Brazil)
Currently, the challenge for researchers and managers in the area of
knowledge management is to study methods and models that promote and facilitate
the acquisition, retention, distribution and utilization of knowledge by
individuals and groups of organizations. The main objective of this paper is
to analyze how a company that operates in multi-site service sector is
organized internally in order to retain the acquired knowledge. The research
strategy used is the simple case study, applied in a large multinational
company. The findings points out that the service providing organizations should
focus their knowledge retention process in a specific department toward
this goal. This department has the task of identifying and registering the
best practices and learned lessons among all the employees working on
different clients in databases, in addition, to promote the integration of these
employees in order to promote the distribution of tacit knowledge.

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.
