Papers solicited forthis special issuecoverissues,challenges, ideas, and solutions fortwo
aspects ofknowledgemanagement (KM)and social media(SM). As oneexample, knowledge managers often perceiveatension between potential benefits and risks associated with social media. On theonehand, SM offers unprecedented opportunities forsharinginformation and knowledgeboth amongcolleagues closelyboundbyshared interests but also amongthose representingthe"strength ofweak ties"(Granovetter, 1973). On theotherhand, SM, becauseof theeasewith which information can bedisseminated, threatens organizational control of information and increases therisk oftheloss ormisuseofintellectual propertyand proprietary knowledge.
Forthis special issue, weencourageauthorsfromacademia, industry,governments, and non- profits, especiallycollaborations amongthesegroups, to address theseandothertensions or synergies that mayarisebetween KMand SM. Wewelcomeexamination ofthesetensions at thesocietal, organizational, group/team, and individual levels ofanalysis. Wesolicit case studies, surveys,experiments, qualitativeresearch,and collaborativeactionresearch among academics, executives, and policymakers that illustrateinnovativeapproaches, resolutions, and solutions to thesetensions, risks, and opportunities. Weespeciallyseek papers that offer conceptual models combined with empirical evidenceoftheconsequencesorfindings of observations related to thesemodels.
