Automatic Construction of Knowledge Source Map from Thesis DatabaseI, HSIU 19 July 2004 (has links)
Expert knowledge is an important issue in knowledge management, so how to understand who owned the knowledge that you need and how to touch the experts are important issue. The research is to structure Knowledge Source Map in academic circles by the automatic system and help users to understand the source and the structure of knowledge by querying with this system. Moreover, by this system, user won¡¦t misunderstand experts¡¦ knowledge, and further, they will hold the knowledge and make use of the knowledge. Otherwise, the system also structure communication networks among people by the analysis of social networks to provide a channel for users touching the experts. Therefore, the Knowledge Source Map system is divided into two parts, one is confirmation of the experts, and another is to search for the experts. The former includes analysis in experts, university and domain, and the latter includes family tree analysis, ego-centered networks and shortest path analysis.

多國企業在臺子公司知識來源型態影響因素之研究 / Sourcing of Knowledge-The Cases of MNCs’ Subsidiaries in Taiwan邱雅萍, Chiu, Ya-Ping Unknown Date (has links)
知識經濟時代的來臨,宣告著掌握知識是關鍵的策略能力,尤其是多國企業的全球競爭優勢建立,其知識和創新的來源及運用均不再侷限於國界之內,故子公司之知識來源成為學術界與實務界相當重視的議題。本研究目的在於發展多國企業子公司知識來源型態分類架構,建立知識來源型態影響因素之理論模型,並進行實證。
本研究提出「知識來源決策階層模式」,認為進行知識取得決策時,管理者的決策思考能力有限的情況下,此一決策應為階層模式。就多國企業子公司而言,知識來源決策第一階層應為「母公司集團」及「非母公司集團」型態二者之考量,其中「非母公司集團」型態下的第二階層則為「自行發展」及「策略聯盟」之決策。此外,每一階層考量的因素並不相同,此模式可以提供管理者更明確的影響因素藍圖,在資訊過多與複雜的情境下,釐清各因素的影響階層,有助管理者的決策思考。
經由文獻探討,從多國企業相關理論、交易成本理論、資源基礎理論與社會網絡概念,探討與知識來源型態的關係,並透過個案訪談分析,建立研究實證架構。本研究提出,子公司知識來源傾向來自「母公司集團」或「非母公司集團」型態之主要影響因素,包括子公司知識環境與知識專屬性,而子公司知識環境與知識來源型態之間的關係,會受到子公司資源因素與母公司組織系絡因素之調節影響。另外,在非母公司集團之知識來源中,子公司因素與知識不確定性會影響子公司傾向採取「自行發展」或「策略聯盟」型態。
假說驗證方面,本研究以製造業之多國企業在台子公司為研究對象,分析單位為知識。經由問卷調查,共計回收234個有效知識樣本。資料分析方法上,同時採用邏吉斯迴歸與一般迴歸二個方法進行分析,強化實證結果之穩健性。結果發現外商在台子公司知識來源型態的特色為:(1)多國企業所有權優勢愈大,愈傾向於母公司集團型態;(2)地主國區位優勢愈大,愈傾向於非母公司集團型態;(3)知識區位專屬性愈高,愈傾向於非母公司集團型態;(4)母公司集權控制程度、子公司高階團隊社會資本會對多國企業所有權優勢、全球策略與地主國區位優勢和子公司知識來源型態間的關係造成影響;(5)子公司資源愈豐富,愈傾向於自行發展型態;(6)知識不確定性愈大,愈傾向於策略聯盟型態。
綜合實證結果,本研究提出之知識來源型態影響因素理論架構,對子公司知識來源型態具有良好的解釋能力。在理論方面,本研究提出適於多國企業子公司的知識來源型態分類架構,並且證實知識來源決策階層模式的觀點;在實務方面,本研究可提供子公司知識來源決策之考量因素,以及母公司調整其全球策略、管理制度設計及定位子公司角色之參考依據。

參考文獻…………………………………………………… 216 / By coming of the knowledge age, to acquire knowledge is a key capability. A potentially important source of competitive advantage for multinational firms is the capacity of their foreign subsidiaries to generate knowledge and innovations based on stimuli and resources resident in the heterogeneous host country environments in which they operate. In this sense, sources of knowledge of subsidiaries become an important issue. The purposes of this research are to identify the influential factors in the choice of knowledge-sourcing mode and proceed empirical tests.
The research develops a hierarchical model of knowledge-sourcing decision and argues that managers have a limited analytical capacity when making complex decision. Mode of knowledge-sourcing decision for MNCs’ subsidiaries can be first classified as MNC-based and nonMNC-based. At the next level of hierarchy, nonMNC-based modes are further split into internal development and strategic alliances. Moreover, there are factors that influence the choice at first level, and that all of these factors do not influence the choice at the second level of the hierarchy. This model can provide a more precise picture of what affects the choice of knowledge-sourcing modes under the information overload and the complexity of the choice decision.
By reviewing literatures on the theory of MNCs, transaction cost economics, resource-based view and the theory of social network, and integrating the result of case analysis, we develop the research framework. We argue that both subsidiary knowledge environment and knowledge specificity are the main factors affecting knowledge-sourcing mode likely to MNC-based or nonMNC-based sources. There are moderators, resource factors. and organizational context factors, affecting the front relationship. Furthermore, subsidiary factors and knowledge uncertainty affect knowledge-sourcing mode likely to internal development or strategic alliances.
The empirical samples were MNCs’ subsidiaries in Taiwan. The unit of analysis was an item of knowledge. By questionnaire survey, the total number of samples is 234. We apply two analysis methods, including the logistic regression and the regression analysis, to make sure the robustness of our results. The empirical results reveal six findings: (1)Strong ownership advantages will promote subsidiary to adopt the MNC-based mode; (2)strong location advantages of the host country will promote subsidiary to adopt the nonMNC-based mode; (3)high location specificity of knowledge will promote subsidiary to adopt the nonMNC-based mode; (4)the extent of headquarter control and social capital of subsidiary managers are moderators affecting the relationship between ownership advantages, the global strategy, location advantages separately and the knowledge-sourcing mode; (5)rich subsidiary resources will promote subsidiary to adopt the internal development mode; (6)high uncertainty of knowledge will promote subsidiary to adopt the strategic alliance mode.
To conclude, the theoretical model possesses a high explanatory power in associating the determinants and the choice of mode. The study has two key contributions. First, it provides a knowledge-sourcing typology that is suitable for MNCs’ subsidiaries. In addition, the results provide supportive evidence for the hierarchical model of knowledge source. Second, for managers, our study shows that there are many factors that affect the adoption of knowledge-sourcing mode and provide a guideline for headquarter managers to adjust their global strategy, design the control system and position their subsidiaries.

(Meta)Knowledge modeling for inventive design / Modélisation des (méta)connaissances pour la conception inventiveYan, Wei 07 February 2014 (has links)
Un nombre croissant d’industries ressentent le besoin de formaliser leurs processus d’innovation. Dans ce contexte, les outils du domaine de la qualité et les approches d’aide à la créativité provenant du "brain storming" ont déjà montré leurs limites. Afin de répondre à ces besoins, la TRIZ (Acronyme russe pour Théorie de Résolution des Problèmes Inventifs), développée par l’ingénieur russe G. S. Altshuller au milieu du 20ème siècle, propose une méthode systématique de résolution de problèmes inventifs multidomaines. Selon TRIZ, la résolution de problèmes inventifs consiste en la construction du modèle et l’utilisation des sources de connaissance de la TRIZ. Plusieurs modèles et sources de connaissances permettent la résolution de problèmes inventifs de types différents, comme les quarante Principes Inventifs pour l’élimination des contradictions techniques. Toutes ces sources se situent à des niveaux d’abstractions relativement élevés et sont, donc, indépendantes d’un domaine particulier, qui nécessitent des connaissances approfondies des domaines d’ingénierie différents. Afin de faciliter le processus de résolution de problèmes inventifs, un "Système Intelligent de Gestion de Connaissances" est développé dans cette thèse. D’une part, en intégrant les ontologies des bases de connaissance de la TRIZ, le gestionnaire propose aux utilisateurs de sources de connaissance pertinentes pour le modèle qu’ils construisent, et d’autre part, le gestionnaire a la capacité de remplir "automatiquement" les modèles associés aux autres bases de connaissance. Ces travaux de recherche visent à faciliter et automatiser le processus de résolution de problèmes inventifs. Ils sont basés sur le calcul de similarité sémantique et font usage de différentes technologies provenantes de domaine de l’Ingénierie de Connaissances (modélisation et raisonnement basés sur les ontologies, notamment). Tout d’abord, des méthodes de calcul de similarité sémantique sont proposées pour rechercher et définir les liens manquants entre les bases de connaissance de la TRIZ. Ensuite, les sources de connaissance de la TRIZ sont formalisées comme des ontologies afin de pouvoir utiliser des mécanismes d’inférence heuristique pour la recherche de solutions spécifiques. Pour résoudre des problèmes inventifs, les utilisateurs de la TRIZ choisissent dans un premier temps une base de connaissance et obtiennent une solution abstraite. Ensuite, les éléments des autres bases de connaissance similaires aux éléments sélectionnés dans la première base sont proposés sur la base de la similarité sémantique préalablement calculée. A l’aide de ces éléments et des effets physiques heuristiques, d’autres solutions conceptuelles sont obtenues par inférence sur les ontologies. Enfin, un prototype logiciel est développé. Il est basé sur cette similarité sémantique et les ontologies interviennent en support du processus de génération automatique de solutions conceptuelles. / An increasing number of industries feel the need to formalize their innovation processes. In this context, quality domain tools show their limits as well as the creativity assistance approaches derived from brainstorming. TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) appears to be a pertinent answer to these needs. Developed in the middle of the 20th century by G. S. Althshuller, this methodology's goal was initially to improve and facilitate the resolution of technological problems. According to TRIZ, the resolution of inventive problems consists of the construction of models and the use of the corresponding knowledge sources. Different models and knowledge sources were established in order to solve different types of inventive problems, such as the forty inventive principles for eliminating the technical contradictions. These knowledge sources with different levels of abstraction are all built independent of the specific application field, and require extensive knowledge about different engineering domains. In order to facilitate the inventive problem solving process, the development of an "intelligent knowledge manager" is explored in this thesis. On the one hand, according to the TRIZ knowledge sources ontologies, the manager offers to the users the relevant knowledge sources associated to the model they are building. On the other hand, the manager has the ability to fill "automatically" the models of the other knowledge sources. These research works aim at facilitating and automating the process of solving inventive problems based on semantic similarity and ontology techniques. At first, the TRIZ knowledge sources are formalized based on ontologies, such that heuristic inference can be executed to search for specific solutions. Then, methods for calculating semantic similarity are explored to search and define the missing links among the TRIZ knowledge sources. In order to solve inventive problems, the TRIZ user firstly chooses a TRIZ knowledge source to work for an abstract solution. Then, the items of other knowledge sources, which are similar with the selected items of the first knowledge source, are obtained based on semantic similarity calculated in advance. With the help of these similar items and the heuristic physical effects, other specific solutions are returned through ontology inference. Finally, a software prototype is developed based on semantic similarity and ontology inference to support this automatic process of solving inventive problems.

Ověřený zdroj poznání a Wikipedie / A Verified Knowledge Source and WikipediaRožek, Štěpán January 2020 (has links)
The main subject and aim of this master thesis is the development and practical testing of a collaboration schema between Czech Encyclopedia of Sociology (Sociologická encyklopedie) and the Czech Wikipedia and its sociology-related content. The collaboration between these two information resources is based on the idea that the Encyclopedia of Sociology can serve as a quality resource for writing and editing Wikipedia and vice versa, Wikipedia can potentially increase Encyclopedia of Sociology's visibility and findability. The theoretical part of the thesis presents information about academic knowledge resources and open collaboration knowledge resources. Last but not least the theoretical part contains information about current practices of collaboration between Academia and Wikipedia. The research part of the thesis presents the development of the collaboration schema and its testing. Methods of semi-structured interviews and field experiment are used within this research. In the first part, one conducts interviews with Czech sociology experts and Wikipedians who are active in the field of sociology or related social sciences. The second part of the research then uses a field experiment to verify to some extent the information from the interviews and to induce reaction from the Wikipedian...
