face=Calibri>In this article, the authors investigate the diverse dimensions of
a knowledge society. First, the relevant literature on post industrial societies
is reviewed to identify the key constituents of successful growth and
development. The authors then propose a 10-dimension framework within political,
economic, social and technological parameters that describe the state of
evolution of a given knowledge society. Knowledge assessment scores, human
development indices, technology readiness scores and competitiveness scores are
selected as composite indicators of knowledge societies. Proxy indicators are
assigned for the dimensions, and secondary data was gathered from reputed
international sources. Partial Pearson Correlation Analysis was done between the
proxy indicators and the composite scales to determine the direction and
strength of relationships. Hygiene factors and competitive factors of a
knowledge society are distilled from the empirical results and recommendations
are suggested to address some areas of concern when pursuing policies for
knowledge based development.<SPAN

face=Calibri>This study explores the extent and impediments of knowledge sharing
in Chinese firms because they are becoming dominant entities in the global
economy, yet limited research exists on this important aspect of their
operations. Survey data are obtained from experienced managers of 164 Chinese
firms from a wide range of industries, sizes, and ownership types. The responses
indicate that knowledge sharing is not open and complete in Chinese firms.
Similar to findings from developed economies in the West, a large number of
factors impede knowledge sharing in Chinese firms. These range from Chinese
cultural values—which had been identified as being important by prior
China-based studies—to attributes of the firm (e.g., incentive system,
communication channels, organizational culture), as well as those of knowledge
holders and potential recipients (e.g., judgment ability, organizational
commitment). Implications of these findings for practice and research are
discussed.<SPAN

face=Calibri>Current Knowledge Management (KM) design approaches recognize the
importance of integrating codification, personalization, and collaboration
strategies. Incorporating various database systems, search functions, managerial
support, performance appraisal, personalized widgets, and case summaries into
seamless functions are exemplary efforts. However, KM is rarely integrated with
organizational learning and development systems. In this article, the authors
use concepts from the situated learning literature, Vygotskian
cultural-historical theory of cognition, and a holistic learning and performance
architecture to signify the integration of KM and organizational learning
systems.<SPAN

face=Calibri>Increasing interest exists in understanding the factors that
explain knowledge transfer capacity (KTC) at the societal level. In this paper,
the authors posit that national culture may explain the differences among
countries in their knowledge transfer capacities. The authors adopt House and
colleagues’ (2004) national culture taxonomy as the theoretical framework to
derive and test eighteen hypotheses relating national culture values and
practices to societal KTC. KTC correlates positively with gender egalitarianism
values, uncertainty avoidance practices, and future orientation practices. KTC
also correlates negatively with uncertainty avoidance values, future orientation
values, institutional collectivism values, in-group collectivism values, humane
orientation practices, in-group collectivism values and practices, and power
distance practices. Further analysis using gross domestic product (GDP) as a
control variable revealed that only humane orientation practices influence KTC.
The research findings are discussed, research limitations are identified, and
implications are drawn.<SPAN

voluntary service not-for-profit sector (VSNFP), also called the charitable
sector, is a neglected setting for knowledge management research. It is also an
area with distinctive characteristics that preclude direct importation of
knowledge management approaches developed for the for-profit sector. In this
paper, the authors adapt a model for examining knowledge management research
issues to the charitable sector and examine what is known about knowledge
management in this important sector of society. Research and practitioner
