Evaluation of Operational Knowledge Risks in SMEs – Using a Grey-Dematel Technique

Description: Risk management is generally characterized by identification, assessment, and mitigation. In the literature on knowledge risk management (KRM), there appears to be much emphasis on taxonomies - which primarily focus on identification - and mitigation strategies, without particular attention to the evaluation phase of KRM. To address this gap, the present paper aims to systematically evaluate potential knowledge risks common at the operational level of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). … more

Exploring Knowledge Graphs

Description: Conference abstracts and project reports can be a valuable source for access to information on possible risks or experiences to build on. However, these collections are often not accessible in a convenient manner. This work explores the usage of knowledge graphs to support document discovery with an automated indexing approach. Therefore, an RDF/SKOS graph is built, consisting of nearly 1400 tagging labels manually extracted from literature on knowledge graphs and organized in a thesaurus struc… more

Organizations as Quantum a Metaphor to Prepare for Proliferated Quantum Supremacy

Description: Quantum physics surpasses human imagination. It totally contradicts everyday experiences. Even literal and mathematical explanations cannot substitute for a non-intuitive behavior that puzzles many of us. Commercial quantum computers are in reach within this decade. History provides examples that the appearance of new technologies brought metaphors to life that may explain up to that point poorly understood knowledge domains (e.g., "brains are hardware while thoughts are software").
