, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Mashayekhi, Ali Naghi (Supervisor) ; Alavi, Babak (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the research areas less-addresses in the field of strategy – especially with a process approach – is strategic renewal. Strategic renewal is crucial for sustainable success of an organization. However, there are limited studies focused on strategic renewal, its implementation, and factors affecting its successive success. Process view is also less applied despite its importance both in understanding different steps of renewal and determining motivators and impediments. Therefore, this study tries to do a process-oriented research on strategic renewal, considering the gaps in extant process models on renewal. For this aim, an embedded single case study is applied and some successful...

Abstract
Successful design and implementation of knowledge management systems have been the main concern of many researchers. It has been reported that more than 50% of knowledge management systems have failed, therefore, it is required to seek for a new and comprehensive scientific approach to design and implement it. In the design and implementation of a knowledge management system, it is required to know 'what we want to achieve' and 'how and by what processes we will achieve it'. A literature review conducted and axiomatic design theory selected for this purpose. For the first time, this paper develops a conceptual design of knowledge management systems by means of a hierarchical structure,...

Abstract
In project-based organizations, many practical cases show there is a considerable knowledge gap between project-level and organization level. To bridge such gap, organizations can exploit knowledge intensive human resources, new organizational structures and new information and communication technologies. But all these three dimensions could have trivial effect when there is no central attention toward the content of knowledge that is to be managed. In this paper, we postulated a three layer framework for this problem that its main contribution is that the content of knowledge is at the center of attention, while all other three dimensions of any knowledge management system (HR, Organization...
