The myth of TQM in knowledge management systems

The paper endeavours to debate the myth of total quality management (TQM) in knowledge management systems (KMS), i.e., the authors will demonstrate that KMS have not achieved total quality. The reasons for this claim are: (i) organisational knowledge management (OKM) (stricto sensu) comprises a blend between individual and collective sense making; (ii) their dialectic process raises ethical and social issues de...

Business simulators and lecturers perception! The case of University of Algarve

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the usage of simulation/serious games in the University of Algarve (Portugal), because these novel learning environments are still on an early stage of adoption. Members of the Faculty of Economics (in a total 60 lecturers and their assistants) participated in this study through a mixed survey (closed and ask for agreement queries). The empirical evidences denote inte...
