Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates challenges in implementing knowledge management systems within supply chains of knowledge-based companies in Iran and proposes actionable solutions for effective application. Methodology/Approach: A qualitative approach was employed, combining library studies, structured interviews with company founders, managers, and experts, and focus group discussions. A total of 182 propositions were categorized into six key themes—Financial Factors, Environmental Factors, Organizational Factors, Technology Factors, Personal Factors, and Strategic Action—and 31 subcategories. Results/Findings: The research identified significant obstacles, including inadequate planning, insufficient training, unclear organizational roles, regional influences, political challenges, lack of awareness regarding benefits, and poor financial management. Recommended solutions include creating detailed plans, appointing dedicated roles for knowledge management, improving training, fostering adaptability, and optimizing financial management practices. Conclusions: A systematic, proactive approach integrating strategic planning, cultural considerations, and flexible frameworks is essential for overcoming barriers. These measures enhance supply chain management and bolster competitiveness in a knowledge-driven economy. Limitations: This study is specific to knowledge-based companies in Iran and may not reflect industries or regions with differing contexts. Contribution: The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, academics, and practitioners aiming to optimize knowledge management implementation, supporting innovation and efficiency in supply chains.

Abstract

Purpose: Complex product systems are goods with high technology. Research and development on their production requires resources beyond the capability of an organization. This study aimed to propose a decision-making model to outsource CoPS R&D projects. Research methodology: The decision-making criteria were identified using the literature review and the Fuzzy Delphi method. Two conceptual models were developed using structural equation modeling. The pattern of relationships among criteria were determined by employing the DEMATEL technique. Then to prioritize the criteria and select between alternatives, the analytical network process was utilized. Results: In the intra-organizational model, “project characteristics” has a positive effect on “requirements” and the latter has a similar effect on “competency”. In the extra-organizational model, the “competency” has a positive effect on the “task performing capability”, and the latter has a similar effect on the “adaptability”. A two-stage decision model was developed. In the first stage, the decision to in/outsource the project is taken. In the second one, the mechanism of outsourcing is determined. Limitation: Due to the breadth of types of inter-organizational cooperation in the range of integration between the organization and the supplier, only one of these types, namely outsourcing, has been addressed. Contribution: An organization cannot outsource the development of CoPS unless it enjoys the technological, contractual, project control, integration, and soft technologies competencies. Furthermore, appropriate communication strategies and adequate financial resources are required. The managers of organizations developing CoPS such as airplanes, missiles, and power plants and can utilize the implications of the model.
