Reviewer 2 Report

The topic of KNIT is possible to consider as up-to-date, because of the influence of globalization on all companies. In the text, I found several errors, which need to be correct.

Chapter 2. Method is unclearly described. It is difficult to find methods which are applied on the way of getting relevant data.

Chapters 2.3 and 2.4 should be rewritten from "word-bullets" to plain text. Some 2.x chapters are not necessary to be in separate with only one sentence (e.g. 2.5, 2.7.3., 2.7.5 or 2.7.7). There should be better to merge into a bigger part (according to the meaning of the merged text). 

There is a vague description of keywords, which were used for searching in the Scopus database. If authors used specific keywords (such in table 2, 8, 14), they could refer to these tables in the text. Therefore, there are difficult to understand data in figures 2, 5, 8. All of these three figures include numbers of articles founded in Scopus, but no description, how they found them.

Between chapter title and table/picture must be descriptive text, connected to the object.

In tables 4, 6, 10, 12 there are doubled references in some rows. The form of quotations in these tables could be rewritten into one style. I do not understand, why tables 10-12 are divided into three separate parts.

Authors made some formal errors in the numbering of chapters. Therefore, there are two Discussion chapters (page 19 and page28).

Reviewer 3 Report

Overall, this is an interesting piece of research. I have two major concerns and one minor:

Minor: I think Headline 1.1 is too much slang.

Major 1: Readability; please use a professional copy editor.

Major 2: The methods / review is very well conducted. However, after reading it, I qasked myself "so what". What did I learn and how does it impact understanding and the future of knowledge management? Maybe you can be a bit more "futuristic" or "philosophical" in the backend of the paper. consider, for example, the impact of big data or augmented reality. I did a quick look on google search and found some interesting chapters on knowledge management and AR / Enterprise social networks (e.g. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-658-12652-0_5 ). This could make your paper more interesting and create more value to readers. It could also inspire future research. I suggest you extend your discussion.
