    An Evaluation of NTNU’s Knowledge Management System on Undergraduates Satisfaction and Academic Performance
    (2010) 莫爾東; Melton Morrison
    　　Preservation of knowledge is probably one of the most important functions of an organization. Additionally, not only should organizations be preserving knowledge but they should also find a way to generate and capture knowledge—this is known as knowledge management (KM). Companies should not only engage in knowledge management but they should also evaluate their knowledge management systems (KMS) to asses if it is meeting the pre-established set of goals. Moreover, in organizations the KMS is seldom evaluated and it is even rarer when a university evaluates its KMS. Thus, this research aims to evaluate the Knowledge Management System (Moodle) at National Taiwan Normal University. 　　This research used students’ satisfaction and academic performance as indicators of the effectiveness of the knowledge service and successful and sustainable knowledge service. Therefore, this research introduces KMSAP as a theoretical framework through the integration of KMS, satisfaction and academic performance, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the system on students. Questionnaires were issued personally to undergraduate students ranging from different departments. 　　Multiple regression results indicate that the Moodle system has a significant and positive effect on males and females performances combined. It also indicated that students are generally satisfied with the knowledge management service but some adjustments needs to be made to better adapt to the students needs. 　　Paired samples t-test found that females uses the Moodle system more often than males do and that, in return, females have better academic performance than the male students. Results from paired samples t-test also pointed out which learning style is most common among the students. With the knowledge of this the researcher made recommendations to the KM staff as to how they can adjust the system to suit the students learning styles. 　　The results of the descriptive statistics helped to point out what aspects of the knowledge system were students most satisfied with and some areas in which improvements needs to be made. It also gives a raw view of what students are thinking about the Moodle system.

    The Impact of Intellectual Capital on Business Performance in Taiwanese Design Industry
    (The Leadership Alliance Inc, 2010-03-01) Cheng-Ping Shih; Wen-Chih Chen; Melton Morrison
    Transforming into a knowledge-based economy, there is an increasing need for Taiwan to explore how intellectual capital creates value for companies. This paper presents empirical data in understanding how intellectual capital influences business performance; specifically in the context of Taiwanese design companies. An Intellectual capital questionnaire was adopted to measure the intellectual capital components, including human capital, structural capital, and relational capital. 87 samples are collected and the data are analyzed by Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The empirical result of PLS shows that intellectual capital does have significant influence on Taiwanese design companies’ performance. However, due to Taiwanese design companies’ organizational structure, structural capital does not support a positive influence on their performance. Also, it is indicated that ‘number of employees in the company’ and the ‘company age’ influence the structural capital on business performance.

    檢測高等教育機構對實施知識管理系統的準備度：以貝里斯大學為例
    (2016) 莫爾東; Melton Morrison
    知識的保存是一個組織最重要的功能之一。另外，組織不僅是保護知識，更是創造，保留，傳播知識，也被稱作知識管理。高等教育機構從事知識管理應該如同他們應該是知識的創導。這研究是用來評估Belize大學對於發展知識管理系統的準備。 在這研究中的兩個原型Web Model還有Star Model是被設計來確定知識管理系統的發展是否準備就緒。兩個原型都用了5個關鍵因素去評估：信息和通信技術，人力資源，策略及領導，組織結構，組織文化，其中組織文化是Star Model原型的核心。 一個方便又隨機的採樣程序是用來搜集約3246名學生及200名Belize大學不同部門的教職人員的反應。從這個總體所需要的統計樣本數大約是346名受訪者。然而，研究員鎖定了400個樣本，然後取得了384個回應;其中379個為有效樣本，因此從這400個樣本的回覆率為94.75%。 這個結果說明了人力資源還有組織文化的大小是KMS發展的最好條件;而策略、領導，組織結構及ICT則是最差的條件。此外，人力資源是唯一準備好接受知識管理系統的唯一條件。除此之外在教職人員及學生間對於各個因素是否準備就緒的觀點有著顯著的差異。這研究也確定了兩個原型都很適合去評估知識管理系統的發展是否已準備好了也確定那五個因素是重要的批判性因素。最後，這研究也提出關於讓這研究審查的五項批判性因素及未來研究進步的建議。
