Effective investment strategies help companies form dynamic core organizational capabilities allowing them to adapt and survive in today's rapidly changing knowledge-based economy. This dissertation investigates three valuation issues that challenge managers with respect to developing business-critical investment strategies that can have significant impacts on firm performance and growth in the competitive, information-orientated business environment. Using firm-level data collected from Taiwan, this dissertation examines specific valuation issues that are vital in shaping not only firm performance but also competitive advantages in current knowledge-based economy: (1) investments in information technology (IT), (2) human capital, and (3) corporate governance. To address these three major managerial challenges relating to firm investment strategies, this dissertation focuses on investigating the impact of three sources of business value creation, including IT investment, workforce education, and Chief Audit Executive (CAE) turnover. The results of investigating service infrastructure in the banking industry support the idea that in today's complex, fast moving multichannel business environment, evaluation of the strategic value of IT must consider both the direct impact of individual channels and the complementary relationships between IT-based channels and the traditional branch channel while constructing an effective business strategy to align IT use with firm strategic objectives. The interdependence between channels found in this study has a significant effect on firms' short term profitability and long term market competition capability, suggesting that the true value of IT will be fully realized only when coupled with complementary investments in organizational resources. Second, results of examining investments in workforce and research and development (R&D) activities in IT industries indicate that firms with more highly educated workforces have, on average, better performance. Investment in R&D for improving innovation capability is positively associated with firm performance. More importantly, higher levels of workforce education moderate the impact of R&D investment on firm performance, confirming the hypothesized interdependency between workforce education and firm innovation capabilities. In other words, firms benefit more from investment in R&D activities when they have a higher level of educated workforce. An important strategic implication from the DuPont Analysis is that the complementarity between workforce education and R&D capital reinforces a firm's differentiation strategy. Finally, the results of analyzing CAE turnover in Taiwan public companies show that CAE turnover is positively correlated with executive turnover (Chief Executive Officer [CEO] and Chief Financial Officer [CFO]) and financial restatements, which are commonly viewed as a signal of a troubled business or failure. The study also shows that CAE turnover has a negative impact on contemporaneous and future firm performance, suggesting that, to some extent, changing the head of the internal audit function conveys a negative signal to the market regarding a firm's performance. Given that the CAE monitors and assesses enterprise risk practices, the findings of this study suggest that CAE turnover could be used as an indicator of business volatility and potential business risk. The passage of the governance law which improves the quality of a firm's internal control system is found to reinforce the signaling role of CAE turnover and improve firm performance. The results of this dissertation provide important strategic insights regarding the factors managers should consider when making investment choices that are expected to align with a firm's long term development and performance. This dissertation complements literature in managerial accounting and information systems, particularly contributing to business value of IT investment, human capital, and internal audit research streams. It also addresses regulatory implications for policy makers such as regulating relevant disclosures of company information for interested parties and developing a regulatory environment that minimizes regulatory barriers which can suppress businesses and economy growth.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe 21st century marked the beginning of an era in which countries became increasingly dependent on information and communication technology (ICT). Technological change has not only become one of the key contributors to economic growth, it is also regarded as an essential element to enhance the general welfare of society (Hu, 2006). Not surprisingly, even governments of developing countries undertake various activities aimed at internalising the positive external impact of technological innovation in order to enhance the development of knowledge-based economies. Examples are the provision of basic information services, such as telephone- and internet services as well as distance learning technologies to make education more generally accessible. Another instrument that recently gained worldwide interest is the development of science parks, also known as information technology (IT) parks, techno parks or cyber parks. The rationale is to promote technological change, regional and/or urban development and to facilitate the diffusion of knowledge and technology through the establishment of knowledge networks. In 2004 there were approximately 600 science parks in the world, 70 percent of which were situated in the United States of America, Europe and Asia, but there is a growing trend towards its establishment in developing countries. However, the financing of such mega-projects in developing countries is especially problematic. A science park can be provided as a pure public project or pure private or through public-private partnerships (PPPs). Pure public financing is usually found in countries that have strong public sectors, such as China and India. On the other hand, in countries with well-developed private sectors they are mostly privately financed. In the case of most developing countries, private sectors are generally not developed enough and the public sectors cannot afford to finance projects of such a nature on a sustainable basis. These countries have no other option but to investigate the possibility of some other variation of a public-private-partnership (PPP) model.The Mozambican government acknowledges the urgency to enhance the development of a knowledge based economy and regards the establishment of a science park as a necessary policy intervention to provide the institutional basis for the diffusion of technological and communication innovation. As a result the country launched its first science park, to be developed in different stages, in 2008. But the real challenge for Mozambique lies in the financing of the park. It was estimated that only the first phase will require about 25 million USD. These funds were secured from the Indian government in the form of a loan. However, the government of Mozambique relies to a large extent on foreign aid to balance the national budget and there are no surplus funds to secure the sustainability of a project of such magnitude. This study firstly explored the economic rationale behind the establishment of a knowledgebased economy and the development of ICT. It then focused on science parks as institutions to secure the diffusion of technological innovation in Mozambique and also on empirical evidence from countries that have benefited greatly from investment in science park projects. The study also investigated the possibility to use a PPP-type of project to finance the science park in Mozambique and pointed out very important determinants for the successful implementation of PPP-projects. The study showed that the government of Mozambique is serious in its efforts to develop a knowledge-based economy although many projects are still in their 'infant' stages. It is strongly recommended that policy makers in Mozambique should study the outcomes of empirical research on various science parks projects in other developing countries. The study shows that Brazil seems to be successful in its use of a PPP for the country's science parks. Policy makers should also pay careful attention to other PPP-projects in Mozambique. Although they are mostly used for infrastructural projects, some failed, while others seem to be functioning efficiently and important lessons can be derived.

Resumo: Esta Dissertação de Mestrado discute o papel do conhecimento na economia, a partir da reflexão sobre o argumento amplamente difundido por instituições internacionais multilaterais, especialmente a Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE) e o Banco Mundial, de que as economias industrializadas estariam caminhando na direção de uma Economia Baseada no Conhecimento (EBC), na qual o conhecimento teria papel de principal insumo produtivo na criação de valor. O objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir para o melhor entendimento desse debate, buscando discutir o conceito de EBC e seus possíveis significados. A preocupação em estudar e entender melhor o papel do conhecimento na economia, justifica-se pela atuação significativa que estas instituições têm na definição das agendas políticas dos países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento. O estímulo de estudar esse tema vem de uma certa vulgarização da idéia de que estaríamos numa Terceira Revolução Industrial na qual agora o conhecimento é um elemento essencial para o crescimento. Existe uma Economia Baseada no Conhecimento? Para interpretar essa pergunta e saber quais os possíveis significados do que seria uma EBC, buscar-se-á responder duas questões: 1) há algo novo na relação entre ciência, tecnologia, inovação e crescimento econômico que justifique a proposição de uma nova etapa histórica de desenvolvimento capitalista, uma EBC que se diferencie das fases anteriores do capitalismo? e 2) está em curso uma mudança na estrutura ocupacional e setorial das economias mais industrializadas, onde o peso do conhecimento em alguns setores ou ocupações justificariam a idéia de uma EBC? Para atender os objetivos da pesquisa, optou-se por privilegiar os trabalhos dos Neoschumpeterianos e Evolucionistas (N&E), pelo tratamento dado ao processo de geração e reprodução de conhecimento como insumo para a produção de valor, com foco no entendimento e na importância da Economia do Aprendizado (EA), e de Fritz Machlup, por ser o autor que se dedicou à entender o valor econômico do conhecimento e seu papel nas mudanças macro-estruturais da economia dos Estados Unidos, nos anos 1960/70. O que se pretende é trazer para o debate os elementos que esses autores nos fornecem para entender o papel do conhecimento na economia e, assim responder às questões colocadas. Com base nos estudos empreendidos nesta dissertação, conclui-se que em relação à questão 1, a resposta é não, pois nem as contribuições dos N&E e nem a de Machlup trazem qualquer argumento que corrobore essa questão, pelo contrário, com base nesses autores não há nada que evidencie alguma mudança em que o peso do conhecimento hoje seja mais importante do que foi no início do século passado. Em relação à questão 2, há indicações de que a resposta seja sim. A contribuição desses autores fornecem vários elementos interessantes para pensar essa questão. No caso dos N&E, pode-se mencionar a relação entre mudança técnica e crescimento, a importância da P&D e da concorrência oligopolista baseada em inovação, o tratamento da EA e a dimensão tácita do conhecimento. Em Machlup, pode-se destacar a construção das abordagens pela indústria e pela ocupação e sua preocupação com atividades essenciais na produção e distribuição de conhecimento. Para esses autores é clara a tendência de um aumento na demanda por trabalhadores mais qualificados e aptos a interagir em ambientes onde o conhecimento tem um importante papel na geração de riqueza
Abstract: This master dissertation aims to analyse the role of knowledge in the economy. There is widespread agreement, especially from international multilateral institutions as World Bank and OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) that the industrialised economies are following towards an Economy-based Knowledge (EBC) in that economic growth is driven by the accumulation of knowledge. But what exactly does this mean? In order to contribute to the understanding of this issue, the objective of this dissertation is to discuss the concept and means of Economy-based Knowledge based on theoretical framework revision. The main incentive of studying such theme comes from a certain vulgarisation and simplification of such debate. For instance the one in that we are in the Third Industrial Revolution and that the knowledge is becoming central for the economic growth. Then, the questions addressed on the study are: there is an Economy-based Knowledge? What it means? To analyse such discussion the dissertation will emphasise two main questions: Firstly, what is the novelty in the relationship among science, technology, innovation and economical growth that justify the proposition of a new historical era of capitalist development? The EBC is different from it was in the past? Secondly, there is a change in the features and structure of industrial employment and occupations from the developed economies whose major output is the knowledge that justifies the idea of an EBC? On this dissertation aim, the methodology adopted ¿ essentially a bibliographical revision ¿ focused on two main theoretical frameworks. First, It accomplishes a revision about the Evolutionary and Neo-Schumpeterian approaches (N&E) which emphasise both the knowledge generation and reproduction as an output to value creation and the importance of Learning Economy. Second, the Fritz Machlup approaches. Machlup tried to understand the economical value of the knowledge and its role in the macro-structural changes of United States economy during the in the 1960/70 years. Based on such framework and as regards owner One and Two research questions, we concluded that: neither N&E nor Machlup approaches demonstrate that the knowledge is more important today that is was in the past. There is no evidence about it. In relation to the second questions the answers can be YES. As N&E as Machlup N&E analysis emphasise such question. From the N&E perspective, some topics are detailed such as: the relationship between technical change and economic growth; the importance of the R&D and of the oligopolistic competition based on innovation; the Learning Economy approach and the tacit dimension of the knowledge. From the Machlup perspective, the industry and the occupations/skills are considered in his analysis; Machlup is mainly concern about the essential activities in the production and distribution of knowledge. In both N&E and Machlup approach there is an increasing tendency of more qualified employees with ability to continuously interact in organisations where the knowledge has one of the most important role in the wealth generation

Thesis, Linköping University, Department of Management and Engineering, 2007. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-10194.
Pełny tekst źródłaFor knowledge intense companies the knowledge and skills of its employees are much more valuable than any physical assets. To share knowledge between its employees, some companies launch knowledge sharing initiatives which aims to spread best practices and increase the expertise of the employees. These initiatives are often supported by technical systems, repositories, which store the information that is to be shared. This report discusses how the value of such a repository, a Wiki containing reference cases of SOA projects at IBM Nordic, can be increased by using processes that aims to better connect it to the organization.
To do this, seven employees at IBM Nordic were interviewed. Four of them were sales people, the main user group of the Wiki. Two were employees at the SOA Acceleration Team, the group responsible for the Wiki. The last interviewee works at Learning and Knowledge, IBM’s internal department for organization-wide knowledge management and education. The answers were analyzed using a framework created using academic theory. This framework consists of four different areas of requirements for the processes connecting the Wiki to the organization. The analysis showed that for IBM the most important area to manage is enablement followed by governance, motivation and finally content.
The report is concluded with recommendations for five processes to connect the Wiki to the organization. The process Internal selling aims to inform the sales people about the existence of the Wiki and how they are to use it. Ensure search engine compatibility makes sure that the sales people are able to find the contents of the Wiki via the intranet based search engines. The process for adding a new case description ensures that new case descriptions which are added to the Wiki is consistent and contains the right kind of information. By validating the case information that is added to the Wiki the acceleration team verifies that the information is correct, increasing its credibility. In the last process, ensure information congruence, the members of the acceleration team updates the guidelines on what information to collect and the information in the Wiki as the information need of the sales people changes. This is done on a regular basis and ensures that the information that is collected and stored is actually useful.

Pełny tekst źródłaENGLISH ABSTRACT: The mass production economy of the major part of the twentieth century has undergone a fundamental change to a global, knowledge-based and entrepreneurial-driven economy, where products and services are now fuelled by innovation, technology and knowledge. Over the last few decades, globalisation has transformed the commercial and political world, and globalisation itself is now entering a more complex phase. Centers of economic activities have shifted profoundly, not only globally, but also regionally. Along with this shift, new rules have been established. Faced with the challenges of the new economy, organisations are forced to adapt to the changes with which they are confronted as customers, markets, societies, employees, competition and technology are all impacted. The new economy requires a different type of leader. Achieving high performance in an increasingly interdependent world will become a challenge facing organisations in both developed and emerging economies. The degree of connectivity between economies, business and individuals worldwide is probably the most important element of the new economy. Highly improbable, but also highly consequential types of events will become more frequent as turbulence increases. Implausible events become possible. Leaders with the ability to anticipate the probability of such occurrences will be the ones who will reap benefits by applying the dynamics pertaining to the new economy. Interest in leadership and the theories thereof gained momentum during the twentieth century. Even though many leadership theories developed over the last decades, the core of these theories changed little. However, the new economy brings new challenges and leaders must also adapt to the changing environment. Without effective leaders companies cannot succeed. It is therefore imperative that leaders understand the qualities of the environment as well as the attributes they need to be successful. Leaders who have the foresight to take advantage of the opportunities which the new economy offers them and who have mastered the ability to react with agility to these opportunities will have the competitive advantage needed for the future.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die massa produksie ekonomie van die groter deel van die twintigste eeu het ‘n fundamentele verandering ondergaan na ‘n globale, kennis gebaseerde en entrepreneur gedrewe ekonomie, waar produkte en dienste nou deur innovasie, tegnologie en kennis aangevuur word. Globalisering het die kommersiële en politiese wêreld gedurende die laaste paar dekades getransformeer en globalisering is self besig om ’n meer komplekse fase binne te tree. Sentra van ekonomiese aktiwiteit het drasties geskuif, beide globaal en streeksgewys. Tesame met hierdie skuif het nuwe reëls ontstaan. Organisasies word gekonfronteer met die uitdagings van die nuwe ekonomie en is geforseer om aan te pas by die uitdagings wat voor hul lê, aangesien kliënte, markte, gemeenskappe, werknemers, kompetisie en tegnologie almal geïmpakteer word. Die nuwe ekonomie vereis ‘n nuwe tipe leier. Om hoë prestasie in ’n toenemend interafhanklike wêreld te bereik is ’n uitdaging wat organisasies in beide die ontwikkelde en ontwikkelende lande in die gesig staar. Die hoë vlak van skakeling tussen ekonomieë, besighede en individue wêreldwyd is waarskynlik die belangrikste element van die nuwe ekonomie. Soos wat turbulensie toeneem, sal hoogs onwaarskynlike, maar ook hoogs konsekwensiële tipes gebeurtenisse ook meer dikwels voorkom. Onverstaanbare gebeurtenisse het moontlik geword. Leiers met die vermoë om die waarskynlikheid van sulke gebeurtenisse te voorspel sal diegene wees wat die vrugte van die nuwe ekonomie sal pluk deur die regte dinamika toe te pas. Belangstelling in leierskap en leierskap teorieë het momentum bygekry gedurende die twintigste eeu. Alhoewel baie leierskap teorieë ontwikkel het gedurende die laaste paar dekades, het die kern daarvan weinig verander. Die leierskap model van die nuwe ekonomie verskil egter heelwat van die huidige. Maatskappye kan nie oorleef sonder effektiewe leiers nie. Om daardie rede is dit noodsaaklik dat leiers die eienskappe van die omgewing verstaan, sowel as die eienskappe wat hulle nodig het om suksesvol te wees. Leiers met die nodige insig om voordeel te trek uit die geleenthede wat die nuwe ekonomie aan hulle bied, en wie die vermoë bemeester het om met gereedheid te reageer op hierdie geleenthede, sal die kompeterende voordeel in die toekoms hê.

Pełny tekst źródłaKnowledge is recognised as a crucial resource in the knowledge-based economy; and it is believed to drive sustainable success in organizations. Knowledge management (KM) helps organizations identify, create, organize, distribute and transfer vital knowledge among employees within and across organizations. The underlying premise is that good KM leads to efficiency and effectiveness, which in turn, influences the total performance in an organization. Therefore, this study investigates the role of KM practices as they relate to projects in a South African government organisation. The problem was dwelt with by establishing research questions and objectives. In order to answer the research questions, a literature search was conducted in the area of KM to establish the KM enablers, barriers, and processes known to facilitate or hinder successful KM in organizations. This led to the identification of five enablers, including organizational culture, structure, technology, strategy and leadership, as well as the resources believed to be fundamental in the success of KM practices. Barriers to KM were identified as individual, organizational and technological. The study established four KM processes: acquisition, conversion, application and protection that were found to concur with good KM practices. A conceptual model was developed around these areas. The model assisted in developing qualitative and quantitative questions. In order to investigate the proposed research questions, the study identified a single directorate within the department of public works that is directly involved with the delivery of health infrastructure. The methodology used, which was mainly qualitative research, was conducted by using multiple-data evidences, namely: semi-structured interviews, document review; these were sourced from primary and secondary sources, as well as similar organizational best practices in KM. A total of nine interviews were conducted with individuals in managerial positions. A total of 7 of the 30 e-mailed questionnaires were completed and the data were used to supplement the qualitative data. This study used the Content-Analysis Technique approach to analyse the text data obtained from the interviews. It was established that successful KM implementation requires the promotion of an enabling environment. The results from the findings revealed that organizational culture, structure, leadership and strategy, ICT, as well as KM resources form, a foundation for the KM environment. KM processes, such as knowledge-retention, creation, capture, transfer and iv sharing, were found to be fundamental for KM practices to occur. Barriers to effective KM occurred largely due to the lack of awareness and time. To capitalize on knowledge, an organization must be prepared to balance its KM enablers and processes. The existing challenges impeding KM success should be identified and dealt with, in order to realize the KM benefits. The study, therefore, proposes a KM conceptual model to be integrated with the decision-making framework, as an implementation strategy for KM in the public sector. This would ensure an embedded knowledge-intensive environment in the Department, and hence the improvement of infrastructural delivery. This study is limited, since only a single case was used, which plainly suggests that there is a possibility that the results cannot be generalized beyond the researched organisation – without conducting any further study. It is recommended that for future research, this study be replicated through several other directorates, or even departments at various government levels (e.g. national, provincial). Also, quantitative analysis, together with qualitative analysis, should be used to create a triangulation between the two approaches.

2) Ambas estrategias, la de operaciones e innovación, también son bien entendidas por las personas entrevistadas sin embargo, como el punto anterior, no están formalmente escritas pero en cambio si son brillantemente ejecutadas.
3) Las personas entrevistadas son totalmente capaces de identificar su ventaja competitiva y los activos intangibles más importantes que la convierten en sustentable.
4) Por lo anteriormente explicado, las personas entrevistadas están conscientes del siguiente hecho: sus activos más valiosos son sus empleados; sin el conocimiento de sus colaboradores la empresa se encuentra a la deriva.
5) Los puntos previamente enlistados enfatizan una idea fundamental: la confianza. Todos los entrevistados concuerdan que una parte importante del éxito en sus corporaciones es el capital social. Dicho activo se encuentra dentro, fuera o en ambas partes de la empresa. En otras palabras, el hombre por su naturaleza es un ser social el cual no puede vivir y prosperar sus cualidades por sí mismo, (ConcilioII, 1965) así pues, una vez que la confianza ha sido experimentada, los beneficios se materializan.
6) Debido a los puntos anteriores, las personas entrevistadas concluyeron que si utilizasen la teoría propuesta y su correspondiente modelo para formular estrategias, su proceso de formulación de estrategias mejoraría cualitativamente.
7) A pesar el punto anterior, las personas entrevistadas, conscientes del tamaño de su empresa, consideran que tanto el modelo como su teoría son demasiado grandes para ellos, sin embargo los constructos que componen dicha teoría y modelo tienen sentido.
This thesis is understood within the context of the knowledge economy. In this sense this study reflects several matters that contribute to the firms' competitive advantage; these are:
1) The mission and vision of the interviewed companies. Even though most people know what these issues are, they are not formally stated.
2) Both strategies, operations and innovation, are also well known to the interviewed people yet, as with the previous point, they are not formally stated but pretty well executed.
3) The interviewed people are able to identify its competitive advantage and the main intangible assets that support it.
4) Because of the above, these persons are aware that their most valuable asset is that of their employees; without the knowledge inside the heads of their collaborators the company is lost.
5) The previous point signals trust. All the interviewed people acknowledge that an important part of their firms' success is social capital. This asset is inside, outside or on both sides of the firm. Put differently, man because of it's own nature is a social being that cannot live and prosper its qualities by itself (Concilio II, 1965) so once trust is fully exercised, benefits arrive.
6) Because of the previous issues, the interviewed people believe that if they were utilising the proposed theory and its model to formulate strategies, their overall strategy formulation process will be enhanced.
7) Despite point #6 the interviewed persons also acknowledge that, because of their company's size, the theory and its model are too big for them, but the constructs that build this theory appear sensible.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe role of web 2.0 technologies has become windfall for knowledge building in higher education in the entire modern world. Web 2.0 technologies (Podcasts, Wikis, and Blogs) are being explored for collaboration, innovation, and creative purposes in digital literacy. The ICT based system (Learning Management System, Student Portal, Web mail) of Växjö University lacks web 2.0 technologies (Podcasts, Blogs, and Wikis) that are important for classroom learning for knowledge building. This research intends to investigate and describe the educational importance of web 2.0 (Podcasts, Wikis, and Blogs) as a possible source to facilitate class room learning in higher education in Sweden. In this regard, role of web 2.0 in its current usage in the teaching and learning have been identified and, thereby, possible measures for more improvements have been suggested in this research. Keeping in view the potential of web 2.0 as content development and management technologies and incorporating their role in formative evaluation of students, peer assessment, collaborative content creation, and individual as well as group reflection on learning experiences, the researcher conducted a survey by asking very simple and short questions as to how far has this potential been exploited in Sweden. Based on the findings and the empirical evidences thereof a model has been proposed for maximum utility of web 2.0 technologies.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis discusses decentralization of national public policies on Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) from the federal to the city government. Governments around the world have been supporting companies and innovation systems because of their relevance to economic viability and national sustainable development. However, despite the increasing political, social and economic relevance of cities worldwide, their role has been underestimated in national ST&I policies. In this context, this study considers how municipal decentralization of national ST&I policies enhances capillarity, efficiency and the strengthening of regional systems of innovation. The study offers empirical evidence of intergovernmental relationships of decentralization through the case studies of two Brazilian cities: Porto Alegre and São Leopoldo, which were selected because of their comparatively good results in promoting companies and systems of innovation in comparison to other Brazilian cities. The main conclusions of the study are: (a) federal government public policy promotion in ST&I remains crucial to the development of entrepreneurial technologically-based systems; (b) municipalities are capable of mobilizing resources, structuring incentive mechanisms, articulating actors, and organizing governance systems; (c) decentralization via municipalities can improve capillarity and effectiveness, strengthening regional innovation systems and consequently complementing national ST&I policies; (d) increased political and economic power of city governments can promote improvements in federal policies of ST&I.

Thesis, Jönköping University, JIBS, Business Administration, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-9628.
Pełny tekst źródłaWith the conditions of new economy such tendencies as internationalization of firms, mi-gration of high skilled workers, growing importance of the knowledge and others become relevant. Having these contextual matters in mind, the authors of this thesis identify the beneficial aspects that are related to Diasporas' inclusion into the process of internationali-zation. In broad outline, this thesis is about the competitive advantage achieved by a firm which employs foreigners to work with the process of business expansion to foreigners' countries of origin. This competitive advantage is proved to manifest itself through the knowledge and competences embedded in those employed foreigners.
The purpose of this thesis is to answer 'in what ways can Swedish SMEs benefit from Di-asporas' inclusion into the process of internationalization?' and thus fill the theoretical gap in the existent studies. In order to address the purpose of the research, a theoretical model which merges the research field of internationalization and Diaspora studies, considered the conditions of new economy, was constructed. With the help of this model, the role of Diasporas in the process of internationalization has been explored and explained.
For the empirical study, the qualitative method was applied and semi-structured interviews were conducted in five different Swedish SMEs. The interview guide, which was based on the theoretical model and on the main research objectives, was used when conducting in-terviews with a number of management positions fulfilling participants, as well as Diaspora.
The results of an empirical study showed that Diasporas can be efficiently used for compa-ny's expansion strategies and significantly benefit due to several reasons. First of all, fo-reigners, or Diasporas, can be considered as holding relevant knowledge base in regards to their home countries, such as language, culture, personal contacts, etc. At the same time, while staying in Sweden, they get to familiarize with the Swedish culture, social structures, and business opportunities, and establish diversified contacts. With regards to international business expansion, this knowledge of two-fold nature is proved to be highly valuable.

Cities which grow based on the industrial model are becoming increasingly larger, demanding more inputs and generating higher spendings and waste. The result perspective expected for this approach is the environmental, economic and social collapse, when cities exceed the manageable limits to its growth. In the post-industrial economy, in knowledge societies, this development model to cities is no longer functional and a development model which addresses the social, economic and environmental issues is required. In this case fits the knowledge based development (KBD). The KBD seeks sustainable development through social knowledge processes that value endogeneity, potentialties and local resources. This is related to the creative economy (CE), which is based on creativity, knowledge and culture, renewable and intangible raw materials. Insofar as it is possible to implement policies that allow CE democratize the creating, storing, sharing and using knowledge processes, creative economy could act as a socio-economic development factor. For this, reliable and structured information is needed. In governmental documents lack of a method that provides data needed for CE analysis and development has already manifested, adapted to local conditions. The KBD has a method for assessing and monitoring the city capitals: the capital system (CS). The CS has a complete taxonomy with indicators which are also related to CE. Then, the dissertation aims to study the capital systems’ dimensions that can structure the creative economy analysis for the KBD. Data collection was carried out through a single case study in Bento Gonçalves city. The research used mixed methods approach with concurrent triangulation strategy from Creswell and Clark (2011). The CS methodology was aplyed, and the analysis was driven to creative economy, based on the SEC (2011) principles, Florida’s 3T’s theory (2005) and the Brazilian CE sectorization (2011). Relationships on CS with all these elements were found in the analysis. As a result it was possible to build a framework that relates the CS capitals with the CE on the studied city. Results also reveal the cities’ CE assets and liabilities which configure a set of subsidies that can foster the KBD as well as public policies which take to development alternatives consistent with the society expectations.

Pełny tekst źródłaIn a knowledge based economy competitiveness is primarily based on the intangibles of a firm. But what relevance is actually given to the Management of organizational knowledge and intellectual Capital (KM/ICM) in the German economy? The Institute of Personnel Management and Leadership studies at the Chemnitz University of Technology has conducted a company survey on KM/ICM with a representative sample size of 3401 firms in order to capture the status-quo of KM/ICM- activities within the German economy. Additionally, two other main research questions have been addressed: - What are the potential drivers for the implementation of KM/ ICM? - How do KM/ ICM activities relate to organizational performance? A crucial study result reveals knowledge as a crucial production – and competitive factor in the german economy. Here, the implementation of KM/ICM is rather determined by business strategies and core competencies than firm characteristics like industry sector or firm size. Besides the findings, that KM–activities especially prevail in those firms with a predominant customer, employee and innovation orientated strategy,further KM/ICM drivers have been evaluated
