This conceptual paper aims to identify and present the potential impacts of employee withdrawal on knowledge management processes in organizations i.e.: knowledge sharing & transfer, knowledge creation & development, knowledge application, and storage. Employee withdrawal is a subtype of counterproductive work behaviour and a critical issue for organisations. Specifically, it refers to a set of [...]

Crises in tourism have become increasingly common. Yet, COVID-19 stands out as the most disruptive event, causing significant damages to the global economy, severely impacting the tourism sectors across the regions. Even though it has been five years since the crisis started, the pandemic’s influence on global tourism can still be noticeable. This study focuses [...]

This conceptual paper aims to present the results of the literature analysis devoted to the application of knowledge management and its processes in the situation of a crisis caused by a natural disaster. On the basis of the analysed papers, the theoretical model linking knowledge management and crisis management for the tourism industry has been [...]

This conceptual paper aims to identify and present the potential negative impact of employee withdrawal on knowledge sharing in organisations, in the post-pandemic work landscape. Employee withdrawal can be broadly defined as “a set of actions that employees perform to avoid the work situation – behaviours that may eventually culminate in quitting the organisation” (Hanisch [...]

This conceptual paper aims to identify and analyse knowledge risks resulting from digitalization. Additionally, the paper tries to present factors influencing knowledge risks arising from digitalization and ways of handling them. The study is a continuation of the research by Durst and Zieba (2019) related to knowledge risks and their potential outcomes. This present study [...]

The study is a continuation of the research by Durst and Zieba (2019) related to knowledge risks and their potential outcomes. This present study makes an update on the literature on knowledge risks and green transformation and describes knowledge risks that can be faced in this process. The paper offers new insights for researchers dealing [...]
IN: Proceedings IFKAD 2022 - Knowledge Drivers for Resilience and Transformation
This conceptual paper aims to identify, present, and analyse potential knowledge risks organizations face in external and dynamic crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Until only recently, many researchers and practitioners have perceived knowledge primarily as something positive. This view has changed recently with a growing number of studies highlighting risks related to knowledge. The [...]

Even if the notion of knowledge management (KM) has been introduced more than three decades ago, the application of this concept in the context of small firms has still not been sufficiently explored. The relatively few contributions, however, agree on the fact that small companies do not manage knowledge the same way as their larger [...]

There is evidence that small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) do not manage knowledge the same way as large firms, and that they approach knowledge management (KM) in various ways. However, the literature on this topic is still scarce and fragmented. In order to fill this gap, the paper aims to single out and discuss [...]
