Knowledge management is a concept which has emerged during the previous years. The present thesis aims to explore knowledge management in relation to the economic crisis using the case of Greek firms. For that purpose a sample of 120 employees was selected from firms in various sectors, and an additional 11 managers and employees were interviewed. The results of the research indicate that employees have an overall positive perception over knowledge management but there are some issues, mostly having to do with corporate culture and the lack of use of state-of-the-art KM information systems. However, knowledge management can be a vehicle of development for firms that seek to exit from the economic crisis. Hence, firms should not allow the economic crisis to drive them into reductions of knowledge management programs and strategies, but instead should focus on utilizing knowledge management so as to improve their performance

Knowledge Management (ΚΜ) is a new scientific discipline, and has found a special attention among the academic and the business community during the last decades. The main reason is that knowledge became an important factor for economic development and a strategic resource of enterprises and organizations for gaining competitive advantages.

Knowledge is the currency of today's economy and the crux of knowledge management, which in turn the lifeline of modern-day organizations. It has been used since 1990s as a tool to achieve sustainable competitive advantages and greater performance, and now, it is becoming an essential asset to sustain organizational competitive advantages and a vehicle for continuous progress and innovation. It is every organization's objective to be able to grow and progress whether it is an SME or a large enterprise so to ensure that there is return on investment of the shareholders and this objective can be met through sustainable superior organizational performance. There are many determinants that may influence organizational performance operating in the current economy but one that is being increasingly recognized as vital is knowledge management. This article has two objectives: The first is to provide an overview of knowledge management and highlight the importance of this field of practice, and the second is to provide few case studies of the successful implementation of knowledge management from different industries. Thus, we will further explore the notion that knowledge management positively impacts organizational performance through the analysis of a number of case studies where knowledge management is being practiced. We will start by highlighting the general interpretation of organizations, the current economy within which they are operating, the concept of knowledge management and how it may be used within organizations. This will be followed by an analysis of cases of knowledge management being practiced and the impact it has had on the overall performances, and finally present our argument that suggest knowledge management positively impacts organizational performances.

Abstract The concept of Learning Organisation (LO) has become a key theme for organisations operating in turbulent working environments. During the past years, there is a growing tendency by contemporary organisations adopting Knowledge Management (KM) approaches to produce core competencies. Just like the similarities and differences that both LO and KM may have, academics and practitioners shift their focus on the positive side of the aforementioned concepts. However, the present paper discusses a range of potential negative consequences, such as the concept of organisational conflict, that the adoption of LO and KM might bring into surface. This paper aims to serve as a critical pilot study for examining the conditions under which Greek-based enterprises implement the concepts of LO and KM in their working practices. Through the conduction of in-depth interviews with twenty executives and managers working in Greek-based enterprises, the authors scrutinize three issues. Primarily, this study explores the interviewees’ lack of knowledge and understanding regarding the concepts of LO and KM. Secondly, the authors aim to recognize to what extent the adoption of the aforementioned concepts are influenced by the Greek societal values. Finally, based on the subjects’ responses, this pilot study critically discusses the general belief that LO and KM are just an excuse for downsizing and for altering power relations within an organisation. Keywords: Knowledge Management, Learning Organisation, Conflict, Criticism

Abstract: This paper draws on Jean-François Lyotard’s (1984) seminal study The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge to reflect on two macro-level catastrophes: the global financial crisis (GFC) of 2009 (and its continuing effects throughout the Eurozone and elsewhere) and Fukushima. These two case studies probe aspects of these grand failures to reveal serious deficiencies in integrity at work, the changing nature of contemporary working relationships, knowledge management and fashionable new approaches to organisational learning. The paper draws upon Lyotard’s ‘performativity theory’ to examine how people in commercial enterprises may often define ‘knowledge’, how this is transferred and how, in turn, managing this knowledge affects working relationships, learning and change.

Abstract:It is an undisputed fact that this is the age of knowledge and a time of constant changes which are unpredictable. The globalisation trends and ever increasing networking of economy, information, technology, management (…) give rise to intellectual and group knowledge, namely to intellectual capital as the nonmaterial part of an organisation’s capital. Formal education is not sufficient, and further training is required in line with contemporary requirements which the market imposes, in addition to it not providing development of personal skills which are necessary in everyday management, and which in synergy with professional knowledge provide for the proper results. Today, knowledge represents the most important capital of an enterprise, and it is necessary to develop an efficient and effective system of managing this resource, as it is that in particular which provides greater productivity, innovation, more qualitative performance of business activities, and provides competitive advantage. In previous periods the emphasis within organisations was on technology and technological changes, while today, in the age of knowledge technology continues to be important, but only as a product of internal engagement of intellectual capacities. Therefore, this imposes the fact that only through successful knowledge management enterprises are able to successfully manage their business.

The fast pace of globalization and technological progress has dramatically changed market conditions and competition strategies. In present-day society based on knowledge, or "knowledge - based society", the amount of knowledge in use has increased considerably and it has produced many challenges for its (knowledge) control and management. Knowledge Management - KM is becoming nowadays one of the most significant practices of companies in developed countries aiming at the increase of profits and competitive advantages. For a successful implementation of Knowledge Management, it is important the identification of barriers or critical factors which affect the success of the KM process. Most of these factors belong to human department. The purpose of this study is to investigate the recognition and implementation of Knowledge Management in business organizations in Albania, as well as to reveal some of the barriers and critical success factors of KM in such organizations.
