In the paper, "Advancing Knowledge Documentation and Application for Public Sector Transformation: The Role of Management Support and Teamwork", the authors, Mary B Muhenda and Everest Turyahikayo, attempt to examine the influence of management support and team work on knowledge documentation and application in the Ugandan public sector. They focus on three government ministries based on their interconnectedness. They collected data from senior civil servants, supervisors and heads of the department. From the analysis of the data, it was found that the three different ministries adopted the knowledge management practices differently and extended management support by providing policies to create an empowering environment for performance. Weak support was found from top managers towards knowledge application. According to the authors, for effective knowledge application, there should be proper knowledge documentation. Teamwork was found to have moderate contribution in both knowledge documentation and application practices in the three cases. The authors confirmed the positive influence of teamwork culture on knowledge documentation and recommended to promote the same. It was also recommended that managers of public sector should provide support for knowledge documentation and application with the help of relevant work policies, motivation, participation and creating an enabling environment.

The collective knowledge base of a social group or community can be treated as social knowledge. It can be acquired through social interactions, collaborations and sharing of knowledge. For both individuals and organizations, the social knowledge can act as a control mechanism to manage important activities. In the paper, "The Influence of Social Knowledge on Consumer Decision-Making Process", the authors, Sidharta Chatterjee and Mousumi Samanta, attempt to examine the effect of social knowledge on human economic decision making. They presented a theoretical mathematical model based on product variability and price to understand the social knowledge and its practical implications for both social network users and developers. The authors attempt to show the consumer perception on price variability and change of their preferences with time. The authors conclude that the users are often influenced by the social knowledge of products and prices appearing on social networking sites.

Indigenous traditional knowledge is a locally generated and accumulated knowledge, which is unique to a particular culture or society. This knowledge can play a vital role in the daily lives of majority of local people and can also help the local poor community to gain control of their own lives and development. The authors, Prabal Barua and Saeid Eslamian, in their paper, "Food Production and Consumption in the Face of Climate-Induced Displacement: An Exploration of the Indigenous Knowledge Management Practices of Southeastern Bangladeshis", focus on the climate vulnerability of the food system and attempts to evaluate the degree of control of small-scale farmers and fishermen in Bangladesh on food production and consumption activities and examine their practices, perceptions and adaptation strategies to cope with the increased climate risks. Primary and secondary data was collected with the help of observations and in-depth interviews and government documents. Manual coding was applied on the data to draw the most relevant or repetitive behaviors, perceptions and strategies of the respondents. It was found that social, human and financial capital are the key assets that influence the adaptive capacity of people. The authors conclude that changes in the socioeconomic environment dictate the mechanisms of livelihood strategies and adaptation in the face of climate hazards.
