Offshoring is a trend during which organizatios directly replaced Internal labor with foreign labor and the activities are transferred from the source. At this time organization’s need to transfer knowledge of the local unit of offshoring jobs has become evident. In the process of transferring, knowledge from the source to the recipient or user, is transmitted via factors that affect the process.The aim of the present study was to identify factors influencing knowledge transfer in offshoring organizations. Content analysis is a research method used in this study. After the content analysis of more than 60 studies, a model in four levels of factors impacting knowledge transfer were identified. At the first level, three dimensions of content, the individual and the context were identifid as the effective factors in knowledge transfer process. At the second level, the following components were extracted from each dimension which affected knowledge transfer, especially in offshoring firms. Knowledge is a vital component in the content level. Confidence,‌ motivation and capacity are effective in individual level and culture was identified to influence the context level. At the third and fourth level of the model, elements of these components as well as methods of knowledge transfer were presented.

Along with development in management literature, several solutions have been introduced to improve the effectiveness of organizations. Knowledge management as one of these solutions has been widely considered and using it, as a new method, is one of the organization’s necessities. But firstly this point should be mentioned that prior to the current development of knowledge management literature, knowledge management existed in organizations in traditional ways for years and should be considered in any new development in this field. Secondly, it has been observed that sometimes knowledge management new solutions are considered independent from their roles in organization effectiveness and KM comprehensive systems are recommended by management consultants as a definite effectiveness promotion solution. This article reflects the results of a research that has been conducted with two main goals, in organizations with small size and low technology level. First, study the level of knowledge management, in its traditional form in these organizations. Second, study the relationship between KM and effectiveness of these organizations. Manuscript profile

Success Factors in Knowledge Management (KM) capability in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have less been systematically investigated. Existing studies have derived their CSFs from large companies' perspectives and have not considered the needs of small businesses. In this article, existing studies on Knowledge Management capability success factors were reviewed and their limitations were identified. By integrating insights drawn from these studies, the authors proposed a set of 11 CSFs which is believed to be more suitable for SMEs. An empirical assessment was conducted to evaluate the extent of success of proposed propositions using experts’ opinions. The overall results from the empirical assessment were positive, thus reflecting the appropriateness of the proposed success factors. The set of success factors can act as a list of items for SMEs to address when adopting KM. However it can provide a common language for managers to discuss and study the factors crucial for the success of KM in SMEs. The results show that adequate and suitable leadership and management supports, use of Information Technology, bussiness strategies, motivation, resource availability, personnel education, human resource management, performance assessment measures, infrastructures and Knowledge Management processes can increase Knowledge Management capability in small firms. Organization culture, Leadership and management and leader supports and Information Technology were the most important factors Manuscript profile

Today, the role of knowledge-based companies has grown as one of the key pillars of the resistance economy. Considering the importance of the ability, expertise, and skills of these companies, consideration of the mental, emotional, and interactive characteristics of the company is an essential precondition for the realization of the goals in the knowledge-based companies. The higher the degree of affiliation of the company to the knowledge workers, the more meaningful the concept of performance management will be. However, so far, in the field of knowledge workers' performance, it has been evaluating the performance of these categories of employees. The prevailing characteristics of performance evaluation systems can be seen as the tangent, downside, downside and low level of integrity and effectiveness of the entire system. The research is composed of two stages. With a library study and a review of the research background, an eight-stage performance management model process was extracted.

Knowledge as a strategic resource in organizations is a major and effective factor in creating and sustaining competitive advantage. In industrial clusters, which include a set of organizations with similar field of activities, there is a joint effort among members to save resources and enhance their competitive ability. One of these joint activities is the exchange of knowledge among the members, which reduces the cost of knowledge acquisition, increasing collaboration between companies, the ability to innovate and strengthen their competitive ability. In this paper, a goal programming model for the process of knowledge exchange in industrial clusters has been presented based on the data of industrial cluster of animal feed, poultry and aquaculture in Golestan and its results have been analyzed. Achieving the ideal degree of knowledge in the cluster and the amount of budget assigned are considered as two model ideals. In this model, for the process of knowledge exchange, there are two types of presence and non-attendance methods that have significant differences in terms of cost and duration of the transfer. Analyzing the model parameters and examining the results shows that the use of both face-to-face and non- attendance methods for the exchange of knowledge enables companies to flexibly participate in the process according to their working conditions and resources. It also provides better understanding to cluster managers in order to be able to make better decisions and planning in order to achieve greater returns from the knowledge transfer process, based on existing resources and goals.

Summary Human resources are the most valuable resources of an organization that collect and store in their minds as experiences, experiences, trends, solutions, initiatives, etc. as a knowledge base. When this knowledge was implicitly and explicitly taken out of the hands of the organization and managed, It can be fruitful and can help achieve organizational goals. This happens during the knowledge management process. The process of identifying, producing, disseminating, integrating, and applying the right knowledge at the right time by the right person in the knowledge management organization. This article attempts to describe and define knowledge management and the relationship between knowledge management and human resource empowerment while explaining the impacts of knowledge management on human resource empowerment.

The lean approach seeks to eliminate non-value-added activities and knowledge management to create and apply useable and accessible knowledge for value creation. Therefore, knowledge management is predicted to have a significant impact on the leanness of an organization. On the other hand, despite the fact that the service sector has become a major resource in the economies of the countries, there is little research on how to implement a lean approach in this sector. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of knowledge management on lean service. For this purpose, the dimensions of lean service were first extracted using the grounded theory. In the following, a questionnaire was designed to measure the maturity level of organizations’ knowledge management. Then, structural equation modeling was performed to illustrate the impact of knowledge management on lean service of Payam Noor Universities by using Smart PLS 2 software. The statistical population of this study is all employees, professors, managers and assistants of Payam Noor Universities. Using sample random sampling, 200 questionnaires were distributed to the statistical population, 157 of which were completed and analyzed. After making sure that the measurement and structural models of the research are acceptable, the results suggest that KM plays an important role in improving the lean of Payam Noor Universities. In the field of knowledge management, factors such as knowledge management leadership, organization’s processes, people and knowledge managements’ outcomes have greatest impact on lean service at Payam Noor University. Therefore, managers of Payam Noor University can improve the maturity level of the knowledge management of the organization and then improve the lean status of their organization by focusing on these factors. By applying this model, service managers, especially university managers, can provide an appropriate platform for their use in managing these organizations through the link between knowledge management and lean.

The development of knowledge-based companies are necessary for the economic growth of the country. But there are many theoretical weaknesses in the development of these companies, especially in their conceptual models. The purpose of this study is the modification of the conceptual model to improve the development path of these companies. A systematic conceptual model for the development of companies, with considering the strategic role of the media, is the purpose of this paper. Firstly, the definitions, indicators, dimensions of knowledge-based companies, and the previous efforts related to them are discussed. The type of research is qualitative and is analyzed based on Grounded Theory methodology. The conceptual model is based on field observation and systematic interviews with 21 managers related to the development of knowledge-based companies, science and technology parks, and growth centers in Iran. The results show that the development of knowledge-based companies is due to the strategic role of media, which is included education, culture, information, and guidance. According to the development strategy of a knowledge-based company, the consequence of the process is enhanced by television and internet. On the other hand, the process is affected by base conditions such as culture, supervision, economics, media activities, as well as environmental conditions such as the academic capacity, websites, intellectual property, laws, sponsorship, Internet, industry, and politics. Trans nationalization of products, reduction of dependence, improvement of product quality, policy, decision making, strategy development, promotion of activities, employment growth, are the consequences of media's role in the development of knowledge-based companies.

Knowledge management is the process of creating, sharing, using and managing knowledge of an organization. A knowledge management system is known as a knowledge base and is a comprehensive system that can provide many methods for providing documentation. The knowledge management system is a platform that covers the organization's collective knowledge and creates a centralized repository for storing and accessing the organization's activities. organizations do this through a tool or software specifically designed for knowledge management. Knowledge management systems refer to a class of information systems applied to organizational knowledge management and have been developed to support and promote organizational processes of creating, storing, retrieving, transferring and applying knowledge, in the company's organizational workplace. Various categories of knowledge management systems have been presented in articles. In this article, the main principles of knowledge management have been extracted with a new approach. For this purpose, first the main life cycle activities have been identified. Then, by reviewing conventional knowledge management systems and brainstorming sessions, the main services have been identified. Finally by applying clustering on the extracted services based on the k-means algorithm, the services have been clustered and the main systems have been extracted. In order to evaluate the quality of extraction systems, we have benefited experts, and experts in the field of knowledge management evaluated the quality of extraction systems at an optimal level. It is expected that by implementing these systems in different industries, it will be possible to help spread knowledge management in the industry as much as possible. Manuscript profile
