讲座简介：
Along with the advancement of digital and internet technologies as well as the accelerated flows of global capitals and resources, there have emerged more and more new forms of value creation in business through devising innovative business models catering to multilateral markets and applicable across industries and national boundaries, such as shared economy, open-innovation paradigms and other a variety of internet-enabled platforms. Despite these contemporary ideas are still at their earl stage of development, they reflect a common ground that knowledge management (KM), particularly the practice involving complex processes of cross-border information transfer, creation and integration plays a critical role in determining the success of the new types of boundaryless business models mentioned above.
However, despite the vital linkage of KM and business models is observed, there has been a scarcity of research explicitly relating KM to the fields of business models. This special section, therefore, aims to achieve a more holistic understanding of the various linkages and interacting mechanisms of KM with business models from broader, more systematic and integrative perspectives (e.g., cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary views). We encourage authors to adopt or build novel and contemporary knowledge-based theories exploring how the development of innovative business models can help deal with today’s ever-deepening challenges of globalization and uncertainties across diversified cultures and institutional systems. We also expect authors to provide fresh evidence and reveal new insights that can bridge the gap between theory and practice, and sincerely invite submissions related, but not necessarily limited, to the following themes:
•What are the new forms and processes of cross-border knowledge creation, transfer and synthesis in today’s boundaryless competitive environment (e.g., multi-cultural, multi-linguistic and multi-institutional logic contexts)? How are these emerging new ideas conductive to business model innovation? Any new conceptualization of relevant terms?
•What role does cross-border KM play in terms of different types of MNCs (e.g., different industries or ownerships)? How does it affect the survival, growth, and governance of the business models of such MNCs?
•How does cross-border knowledge sourcing, learning, assimilating, creating, synthesizing and creation affect business model innovation across borders? In what way? Through what mechanisms? What kinds of innovation activities will be mostly influenced and how to evaluable these effects?
•What are the relationships among cross-border KM, business model innovation and MNCs’ acculturation?
•How to identify, explore and even rationalize the value logics of the innovative, boundaryless business models (e.g., shared economy, open-innovation paradigms and other internet-enabled platforms) based on the creation of new knowledge or the novel synthesis of existing knowledge?
•How do the characteristics of individuals and groups influence cross-border KM and the development of boundaryless business models?
•What is role of leadership in managing knowledge in the context of boundaryless business models? Will a firm’s human capital matter?
•What are the interacting mechanisms among technology, strategy and KM and how they impact on the development of business models beyond boundaries? What role do organizational dynamic capabilities play in the mechanisms?
