Book Description
Almost every organization strives to make profit by offering to the market à single value that cannot be provided by competitors. This uniqueness is what gives an organization a competitive advantage over rival organizations, and helps it to reach its objectives. Henceforth, to build such singularity over time supposes the possession of a knowledge that others have not. This paper discusses the extent to which knowledge creation, sharing and utilization is crucial in creating competitive advantage. Therefore, this article is going to be developed around key factors that create and maintain competitive advantage; among them, we note mechanisms through which knowledge is acquired and developed, the role of management styles in knowledge management settings, the organization status, the innovation process and the strategic management process.

Book Description
Objective - This paper aims to clarify the importance of knowledge sharing application in businesses, and to illuminate the effect of knowledge sharing as the key compartment of knowledge management on business process and organizational performance based on current research. Finally, this paper endeavours to suggest a model and some recommendation for future research.Methodology/Technique - A qualitative method based on a comprehensive search of numerous leading databases has been utilized for the purpose of this study.Findings - Knowledge sharing influences organizational performance from diverse aspects like; management, decision making, and production procedure. In knowledge based societies, the ability of a company to create, sustain, and communicate knowledge has a major impact on its performance. Knowledge sharing is the basis of competitive advantage due to its implicit dimension and the complexity to imitate or substitute. Therefore, companies who are capable of achieving a successful knowledge sharing are likely to perform better.Novelty - Knowledge sharing affects business overall performance. Therefore, knowledge sharing should be incorporated into business processes in order to maintain a business, organizational performance at a competitive level.

Book Description
It is known that “Knowledge management” is associated with significant benefits which can empower organizations to get more competitive advantages in their market. Knowledge sharing and knowledge creation are the two vital aspects of knowledge management which play an important role in creating organizational value. The value-creation of knowledge depends on level of sharing knowledge and skills among people across the organization. So most companies are focused on enhancing their capability of knowledge sharing to create new knowledge. The aim of this paper is to test empirically the degree of influence of different knowledge-sharing mechanisms on the knowledge creation capability of Iranian manufacturing industries. A question survey was administered to a sample of manufacturing industries operating in Iran to elicit opinions of the personnel on the relationship between knowledge sharing and knowledge creation. The questions were structured mostly based on Sa ́enz et al. (2009) and Choi & Lee (2002) studies. More than 400 respondents from 16 organizations responded to the survey. A short training course was held in all sample firms separately to explain importance and applications of knowledge management for respondents. SPSS and LISREL software were utilized to analyze research data using Regression tests and Structural equation modeling (SEM). Results obtained show that knowledge sharing has a positive influence on the knowledge creation in Iranian manufacturing industries. However, a meaningful relationship was observed between information technology and management processes and two constructs of knowledge creation. The main contribution of the paper is to provide empirical evidence about the impact of knowledge sharing on knowledge creation. Moreover, it reveals what the most effective knowledge-sharing mechanisms are for this purpose, and provides companies with some implications in order to shape their knowledge management strategies.

Book Description
In today's knowledge-intensive society, organizations need to be able to effectively manage the increasingly important production factor "knowledge' in order to thrive. Previous studies have emphasized the importance of knowledge sharing, especially its influence on organizational innovation capability, competitive advantage and financial performance. This study aims to develop a knowledge sharing framework across three dimensions: enablers, processes and outcomes in law enforcement in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It examines the effect of six enablers (enjoyment in helping others, knowledge self-efficacy, top management support, organizational rewards, information and communication technology use, end-user focus) on knowledge donating and collecting, which together make up the bidirectional perspective of knowledge sharing. It also examines the impact of knowledge donating and collecting on organizational innovation capability, organizational competitive advantage and organizational financial performance. The model assesses additional relationships, such as the impact of organizational innovation capability on organizational competitive advantage, and the impact of organizational competitive advantage on organizational performance. In this quantitative study, data is collected from a law enforcement agency using structured questionnaires. The sample size of this study is 605 middle managers. Several statistical tools are used to achieve study objectives, including descriptive analysis, one-way ANOVA, confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation modeling to test the 11 hypotheses provided by the structural model. This study found that knowledge self-efficacy impacts knowledge donating behavior, top management support impacts knowledge collecting behavior, while information and communication technology use and end-user focus affect both knowledge donating and collecting. It also shows that knowledge collecting behavior of the employees impacts trhe agency's innovation capability, competitive advantage, and financial performance. Additionally, innovation capability affects competitive advantage, and competitive advantage affects financial performance in the law enforcement agency under study. The findings also show that there are significant differences between the different general directorates in the law enforcement agency under study. By examining four of them, it is found that they share similar knowledge sharing behaviors, and have differences on others based on the units' objectives, cultures and functions. The present study highlights many limitations and opportunities for future research. For instance, more enablers and ourtcomes of knowledge sharing can be examined in the context of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The barriers of knowledge sharing can also be addressed in future studies. Another alternative to studying knowledge behavior is studying knowledge sharing intention. It might be beneficial to repeat this study in UAE sectors other than law enforcement to generalize the result in the UAE. The study has significant theoretical and managerial contributions. It proposes a research model for empirical studies that links a three-dimensional framework, namely enablers, processes and outcomes. It has enormous opportunities for enhancements and adding more enablers and outcomes variables, which opens the door for scholars to improve and develop more frameworks that follow the same structure. The research model may also provide a clue regarding how knowledge -intensive organizations can promote knowledge sharing culture and create a successful knowledge sharing strategy, particulary in law enforcement agencies in the UAE. The research model is novel and likely to be particularly valuable, especially in knowledge-intensive organizations such as the law enforcement sector. Knowledge sharing has often been neglected by organizations in the UAE, because of the lack of knowledge sharing culture and trust among and across organizations in the country, as well as the scarcity of relevant research in the area.
