Shanghai International Convention Center (

CHAIRS: Atreyi Kankanhalli and Michael Chau

DESCRIPTION

Advances in ICT, data explosion and information overload, employee
turnover, and the need for organizations to better utilize their
intellectual capital have led to increased interest in knowledge management
(KM) and business intelligence (BI) domains. With massive amounts of
information being added to corporate databases and the Internet every day,
effective and efficient knowledge discovery and its management has become
imperative. Thus, organisations are increasingly motivated to develop
systems to leverage their knowledge and information for intelligent
decision making and competitive advantage. These include diverse
technologies ranging from corporate yellow pages, to social computing
tools, to advanced web mining systems.
Yet, there is much that remains to be understood about KM and BI systems
such as how to develop the justification for these systems, dealing with
different kinds of knowledge, integrating with existing systems, enabling
processes and structures, and assessing outcomes in different
organizational contexts. This track thus wishes to explore managerial,
technical, and behavioral issues relating to KM and BI systems including
strategy, design, development, and outcomes. We welcome both theoretical
and empirical papers that employ diverse methodologies and philosophical
perspectives to significantly advance our knowledge in these areas.
