Public sector knowledge management: a structured literature review (2015, background): “Therefore, there is a need for more performative research (Mouritsen, 2006) and or interventionist research into public sector KM (Jönsson and Lukka, 2005; Dumay, 2010), whereby academics get their “hands dirty” to demonstrate how KM can live up to the challenges presented by the public sector.”
An intellectual capital maturity model (ICMM) to improve strategic management in European universities (2015, background): “Recently, a considerable number of scholars has suggested adopting a performative approach and orienting research more specifically to analyse how IC works in organisations, how it manifests itself, and how people, processes and relationships are mobilised in relation to it (Cuganesan, 2005; Mourits”
Intellectual capital and performance within the banking sector of Luxembourg and Belgium (2013, background): “Relationships between IC elements and performance may be transient (Mouritsen, 2006) and boundaries between IC components may be blurred and fragile (Murthy and Mouritsen, 2011).”
