    Ikujiro nonaka:A km guru
    (3rd International Conference on Business Management (ICoBM), UMT, Lahore, Pakistan, 2013) Abdul Rasheed Kausar; Naveed Yazdani
    This theoretical paper traces Ikujiro Nonaka’s managerial writings over a period of 25 years from 1984 to 2009. It highlights that Nonaka had no intention of discovering a separate field by the name of Knowledge Management. From the very outset he was only highlighting the philosophical differences between Japanese and Western ways of managing the work. It was during this discourse that he developed the SECI Model which formed the backbone of the KM field.

    Tacit knowledge as a source of competitive advantage in cricket
    (2013) Naveed Yazdani; Abdul Rasheed Kausar
    This theoretical paper expounds the basic tenet of knowledge-based-view (KBV) of the firm that tacit knowledge lies at the basis of sustained competitive advantage accrued to a company. This is because tacit knowledge embodies the intangible, valuable, rare, inimitable and non-substitutable human core capabilities and competencies. Taking lead from Berman et al. (2002) study of National Basketball Association (NBA), this paper proposes to use the notion of Collective Mind or stock of tacit knowledge of a Cricket team and suggests a positive relationship between shared team experience (a proxy for tacit knowledge) and team performance. The paper also suggests that over a period of time the relationship may turn negative because of the knowledge ossification or reutilization of tacit knowledge schemas acquired by the players. Future research implications for other formats of Cricket apart from ODI matches and other sports are also discussed
