The root cause for this is the lack of a holistic and integrated view on knowledge sharing. Globalisation and the increased speed of operations in the business world have led to dramatic changes in organisational life; the traditional way of working is no longer competitive. One of the critical factors determining the success of an enterprise nowadays is the ability to share knowledge, despite hierarchical structure, geographical barriers, and the age and experience of employees. There has been abundant research into knowledge management and knowledge sharing. However, most of the literature devoted to knowledge sharing has approached the problem from a range of perspectives: strategic, managerial, behavioral, participatory, relational, process, contextual and/or technological. This research reviews knowledge-sharing problems and issues with the purpose of sy...

Businesses and their supply chains often follow this trend, as environmental and social initiatives tend to be disconnected from overall strategies. Most sustainability frameworks are not directly applicable to the inherent complexity of supply chains. Supply chains need to address the sustainability dimensions in a strategic way that encompasses all stakeholders and aligns supply chain goals with the aims of individual members. Supply chains have to adjust their transformation strategy depending on the level of maturity. Our research proposes a model that integrates sustainability in supply chains with maturity considerations. Furthermore a sustainability modeling and reporting system is developed that facilitates a progression towards higher maturity levels. The proposed artifacts leverage the features from established frameworks and may be used in a prescriptive manner for design and implementation.

The visualization capability of a BI system in terms of developing effective visualizations for addressing business problems is crucial to the success of BI. With the rapid advances achieved in the domain of information visualization, many existing visualization techniques/applications can provide reasonable support for particular paradigms, problem domains, and data types. However, they are still weak for supporting multi-paradigm, multi-domain problems and maintaining visualization effectiveness under dynamic contexts. BI systems need to include visualization subsystems or be used together with separate visualization systems that offer flexible support for creating, manipulating and transforming visualization solutions. In this paper, we discuss business visualization context and propose and implement a context adaptive visualization framework. Furthermore, we demonstrate the framework implementation through a sequence of context-driven illustrations.

The effectiveness of adopting certain visualizations towards fulfilling the purposes may be significantly affected by both the decisional problem context within which the visualization is deployed and the situational context of the viewers.

When it comes to upgrading their legacy processes, middleware systems have their own particular requirements and complexities that standard upgrade roadmaps are incapable of fully addressing. In particular, legacy processes that cannot be upgraded using vendor or market tools due to the lack of knowledge about their mechanisms or due to their complexity represent a challenge to upgrade projects. This paper proposes a roadmap to address this challenge by offering a side-by-side approach to migrate unupgradable legacy processes in middleware systems with minimum business and financial impact.
