The results of this review call for further integration of metrics through cross\u2010disciplinary international, multinational and organizational partnerships that could reconcile and define de facto standards for the assessment of the drivers of knowledge\u2010based growth.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>General review, literature review.

Additional coordination efforts are required to overcome contextual and non\u2010replicable approaches and, thus, increase standardization of metrics.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>While the paper discusses limitations of extant approaches, it does not build (another) alternative theoretical solution.

While it is motivated by a call for integration that is not novel to the field of knowledge management, it suggests that this coordination: needs to occur simultaneously both at the country and the organizational levels, whereby country approaches could inform and drive industry approaches; and needs to leverage international coordination models such as those of international standardization bodies.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/13673270710819843","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,15]],"date-time":"2007-09-15T07:04:40Z","timestamp":1189839880000},"page":"115-128","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Knowledge\u2010driven development indicators: still an eclectic panorama"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Katia","family":"Passerini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022020820191929300_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Alavi, M. and Leidner, D.E.
