International Journal of Project Management
Special Issue On
Knowledge management in Project Environments
Knowledge is a vital resource in project based industries such as aerospace, construction, shipbuilding and software. If managed effectively, knowledge can be used to reduce project time, cost and improve quality and therefore contribute to project success. However, the management of intellectual assets (physical, financial, human and intellectual) is a new and challenging process for project-based industries. With this in mind, papers are sought for a special issue on Knowledge Management in Project Environments for the International Journal of Project Management. Strategic frameworks, conceptual, and analytical models, surveys and case studies focusing on how knowledge (especially tacit knowledge) can be managed in projects are encouraged from both academics and practitioners. Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited to:
· Developing an appropriate culture and communication strategy; · Integrating learning and knowledge infrastructure; · Knowledge management and the learning organization; · Mechanics and implications of knowledge sharing, capture and transfer · Information organization and retrieval technologies for improving the quality of knowledge; · Linking knowledge management to performance initiatives; · Retaining knowledge - human and intellectual capital; · Knowledge management and innovation; · Knowledge-based management systems; · Technologies for intra-and-inter organisational collaboration and knowledge sharing; and · Applications in project knowledge management systems.
Research surveys and application papers in the above areas are also welcome. Manuscripts should not exceed 25 double-spaced pages including figures and illustrations. All contributions are subjected to a rigorous double-blind review process.
There should be a separate title page giving the names and addresses of the authors and any other references that reveal the identity of the authors should
be removed. Your manuscript should following the standard guidelines for the International Journal of Project Management, which can be found out (http://www.elsevier.nl/inca/publications/store/3/0/4/3/5/). Electronic paper submissions are encouraged and should be submitted to one of the guest co-editors by April 20th, 2002.
