HICSS – 52
January 8-11, 2019
Track: Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems
Minitrack: Reports from the Field: Knowledge and Learning
Applications in
Practice
Papers due by JUNE 15, 2018
The HICSS conference, sponsored by IEEE, brings together a broad
cross-section of researchers in system sciences—including software
development, social media, energy transmission, marketing systems,
knowledge management and information systems. Now in its 52st
year, the
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) is one
of the
longest-standing continuously running scientific conferences.
HICSS is the #1 IS conference in terms of citations as recorded by
Google
Scholar. Accepted full papers will be included in the Conference
Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society and maintained
in the
IEEE Digital Library. HICSS publications account for the top 2%
downloads
of all IEEE conferences, and have been consistently ranked as the
most
cited papers in top journal publications.
HICSS-52 will be held January 8-11, 2019 at Grand Wailea, Maui,
Hawaii
Call for Papers
What is the role of knowledge management in practice? How do our
theories
on knowledge management and organizational learning contribute to
real-world applications? While numerous journals focus exclusively
on these
topics, and several information systems-oriented conferences
feature KM and
OL-specific tracks, theory is at risk of drifting away from
practice.
Although not specifically documented in the literature, there is a
gap
between the knowledge systems research currently being conducted
and the
needs and practical experiences of knowledge workers. We should be
aware
that there is an active practitioner base of knowledge workers who
develop,
implement, manage, and use knowledge management systems. Likewise,
there
are countless practical perspectives on how to initiate,
coordinate, and
monitor organizational learning processes that need to have a
voice.
The goal of this minitrack is to provide this “bridge” between the
academic
and theoretical knowledge management and learning scholars that
develop
theory and the systems practitioner community that actually uses
this
knowledge on a daily basis. This mini-track encourages two
directions of
knowledge exchange. On the one hand, it addresses the question of
how theory
informs and impacts practice. On the other hand, it sheds light on
how
practice can influence theory. Methods can include – but are not
limited
to- case study and action research.
Possible contributions regarding reports from the field in
knowledge
management may include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Best practices in using technology, processes, or personnel to
promote:
1.1. Knowledge creation
1.2. Knowledge maintenance
1.3. Storage of knowledge
1.4. Retrieving knowledge
1.5. A willingness to contribute to a knowledge repository
1.6. A willingness to seek knowledge from a knowledge repository
1.7. Learning and unlearning processes in organizations
1.8. Communities of Practice
2. Specific challenges encountered in knowledge management that
either:
2.1. Have been successfully been overcome in designing,
implementing or
using a knowledge management system
2.2. Those challenges that have defied resolution
3. Knowledge Management and strategic planning:
3.1. Strategic planning of knowledge management processes
3.2. Vision development and KM; theoretical and practical
foundations of
knowledge-based vision and strategy development
3.3. KM, strategy and organizational routines
4. Other challenges to the research community
This minitrack welcomes all types of papers, both conceptual and
empirical,
using diverse methods to provide new insights into the fields of
KM and
organizational learning.
