Item Uncovering the journey of building a community : a story of a global network for early-and mid-career women researchers(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2024-08-06) Zheng, Gaoming; Kim, Mee Joo; Qi, Jing; Aarnikoivu, Melina; Bekova, Saule; Meki-Kombe, Charity; Shabdan, Baktygul; Tsephe, LifutsoIn this chapter, we delve into our journey of establishing and nurturing a global network comprising early-and mid-career women researchers in the realm of doctoral education. Formed and sustained amid the backdrop of the pandemic since 2020, our endeavours of community building have acquired unique attributes, rewards and trials. We begin by tracing the evolution of our collective journey and the collaborative process that has shaped this network. This, in turn, will spotlight the driving forces and expectations that underpinned the birth of this international alliance tailored for aspiring mid-career women researchers. We also delve into the fundamental characteristics of the network and consider the benefits it offers to its members. Lastly, we will address the challenges the network faces, particularly regarding its sustainable development in the context of competitive, academic work environmentsItem Integrating strategic human resource management practices for effective knowledge risk management in public enterprises(IGI Global, 2024-02-23) Phaladi, Malefetjane Phineas; Mhlongo, Patrick Mbongwa; Omarsaib, Mousin; Mpungose, BongekileKnowledge loss risk is a serious and complex issue facing public enterprises around the world. The purpose of the chapter was to explore and present a global picture integrating strategic human resource management (SHRM) practices into knowledge management (KM) for the effective management of knowledge loss risk in public enterprises. In order to explore strategic human resource management practices and knowledge risk management in the extant literature, the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) method was selected as a methodology to guide the data collection and analysis of the study. The research findings infer and point to very limited research in the global literature linking SHRM practices to KM for effective knowledge risk management. Such a relationship in research and practice remains blurry, despite the fact that the role of HRM in tacit knowledge risk management is inevitable. The findings of this chapter provide a valuable framework indicating distinct areas of interest that require further exploration in the current literature.
