Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to determine the impact of mass collaboration on the knowledge-sharing process in the manufacturing sector of Iraq in the mediation of innovation capability.

Design/methodology/approach

This study is quantitative in nature in which the data has been gathered from the primary sources of information through a survey questionnaire from 225 respondents. The structural equation structural equation modeling technique has been used to analyze the data along with the path assessment and confirmatory factor analysis confirmatory factor analysis.

Findings

The results of this study determined that in the context of the interactive system and mutual adjustment, the mediation of innovation capability is partial whereas, in the context of shared understating, the mediation is full. In addition to this, an interactive system and mutual adjustment had a significant effect on the knowledge sharing process, while the shared understanding was determined to have an insignificant effect on the knowledge sharing process.

Research limitations/implications

The findings of this study are limited to the manufacturing sector of Iraq. In addition to this, the study includes a limited sample size which must be increased by future researchers.

Originality/value

This paper ensures originality in the context of Iraq, as the associations tested in this study have not been tested previously considering Iraq.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to assess and analyse the phenomenon of digitalization, which is characterized by the regular emergence of new technologies and their continuous potential for development. It focuses on the selection of technologies that can sustainably enhance efficiency or confer competitive advantages for companies, particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Design/methodology/approach

This study conducted a survey among 96 SMEs in the manufacturing industry. The survey is based on semi-structured interviews with SME management representatives. The authors then process the collected data by examining the average rate of digital transformation in each block, the mode and the median. The focus was on developments and changes in enterprise digital transformation.

Findings

The process model is a systematic framework for integrating new technologies in businesses, helping identify key technologies for sustainable efficiency and competitive advantage. This paper demonstrates the evolution of digital transformation in different building blocks of the BM Canvas for SMEs in the manufacturing industry. The average digital transformation rate has decreased for the Channels block, whereas other blocks have increased and will continue to grow.

Practical implications

The findings offer practical insights for SMEs looking to adopt digital transformation strategies. By using the technology evaluation canvas (TEC), businesses can make informed decisions about technology investments, ensuring a strategic approach to digitalization that aligns with their operational goals and capabilities.

Originality/value

This study presents an innovative approach to technology evaluation tailored for SMEs, addressing the challenges of limited resources and the need for strategic digitalization. The integration of the TEC into the process model enhances its applicability and value, providing a unique contribution to the field of business model development and digital transformation.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the moderating role of leadership between mass collaboration and quality of knowledge in the pharmaceutical sector of Iraq.

Design/methodology/approach

The approach that has been taken for conducting the following study is through a questionnaire survey where it has been mainly distributed among the employees of the pharmaceutical sector in Iraq that has been accessed through social media platforms. The total number of individuals that have participated in the study consists of 334. As per the analysis, the Smart PLS tool has been used for analyzing the data where structural equation modeling has been applied.

Findings

The results revealed that email, virtual meetings and professional virtual community have a significant and positive influence on the quality of knowledge, whereas discussion board is found to have an insignificant effect. Moreover, in terms of the moderating effect of leadership, it was indicated from the results that leadership moderates on email and professional virtual community concerning the quality of knowledge.

Research limitations/implications

The sample of this study was limited to the pharmaceutical industries in the context of developing countries, specifically Iraq, and therefore, the results could not be generalized to other sectors in other countries because different cultures may lead to different results.

Originality/value

The following study is considered to be the first research that addresses the importance of mass collaboration for the quality of knowledge in the organization of Iraq where the pharmaceutical industry is selected. This study also determines the importance of leadership for mass collaboration where its moderating role has not been analyzed in any previous studies.

Abstract

Purpose

The key purpose of this research paper was to identify the association between mass collaboration and knowledge management in the context of Jordanian companies. Apart from that, this study also aims to examine the moderating effect of trust and leadership on the association between mass collaboration and knowledge management.

Design/methodology/approach

In this study, the researcher has followed theprimary quantitative method. For data collection, the researcher has conducted a survey questionnaire, whereas the sample was based on 323 participants from the manufacturing sector of Jordan specifically for data analysis; the technique of structural equation modeling was implemented.

Findings

All the independent variables, including organizational structure, adoptedtechnologies in mass collaboration and collaborative learning techniques, have a significantimpact on knowledge management and leadership. Moreover, leadership was also found to be significantly moderating the association between adopted technologies in mass collaboration and knowledge management. Similarly, trust also significantly moderates the association of organizational structure and adopted technologies in mass collaboration significantly with knowledge management.

Research limitations/implications

All study respondents were from Jordan, which might limit the generalizability of the findings. The researchers also invited for more researchers in the incorporation of the time sequence in the proposed causal relations and in the organization level through which mass collaboration and knowledge management.

Originality/value

This study promises to make a valuable contribution to the existing literature, as there was a lack of evidence in the previous studies regarding the impact of mass collaboration on knowledge management within the context of Jordan.
