Minitrack: Creation and Appropriation of Knowledge Systems
(
http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-52/knowledge-innovation-and-entrepreneurial-systems/#creation-and-appropriation-of-knowledge-systems-minitrack)
Part of the Track: Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial
Systems
Minitrack description:
The objective of this minitrack is to contribute to the body of
knowledge that helps scholars and practitioners increase their
collective understanding of:
- how knowledge systems are planned, designed, constructed,
implemented, used, evaluated, supported, upgraded, and evolved;
- how knowledge systems impact the context in which they are
embedded; and
- the human behaviors reflected within and induced through both
(1) and (2) (adapted from Benbasat and Zmud 2003).
By knowledge system, we mean a system in which human participants
and/or machines perform work (processes and activities) related to
the creation, retention, transfer and/or application of knowledge
using information, technology, and other resources to produce
informational products and/or services for internal or external
customers (adapted from Alter 2008). Such systems may include, but
are not limited to, knowledge management systems, decision
systems, social media, expert systems, machine learning systems,
and other AI systems as well as any other IT-enabled knowledge
management processes.
We welcome both design science and design theory research in
knowledge systems as well as behavioral research related to the
appropriation of knowledge systems in order to span the entire
lifecycle of knowledge systems. Topics relevant for submissions
include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Theoretical models, methodologies, tools as well as
technological and managerial practices for planning, designing,
constructing, implementing, using, evaluating, supporting and
upgrading knowledge systems
- Case studies focusing on the implementation of knowledge
processes and technologies (e.g., virtual reality, social media,
expert systems, data analytics, AI, machine learning, e-learning)
- Systems design for social knowledge creation and use (e.g.
social media system architectures)
- Development of frameworks for classifying knowledge systems
- Incorporating and/or integrating knowledge services and mashups,
social media, Web 2.0, cloud computing, and/or ubiquitous
technologies in knowledge systems
- Appropriation and use of social media upon individual users,
groups, businesses, and governments for knowledge management
- Changing organizational cultures and structures through
knowledge systems
- Design, evaluation, and/or use of processes, semantic
technologies, knowledge retrieval and representation methods,
and/or systems to map, track and/or visualize social networks
and/or work systems in order to facilitate knowledge creation and
sharing and quick problem solving (e.g., when unexpected
coordination breakdowns emerge)
- Risks and challenges of knowledge systems for knowledge
practices (e.g. information overload, technostress, and protection
of information assets)
- Design processes, representations, and/or kernel (reference)
theories for co-designing and/or co-evolving work and knowledge
systems
- Human computer interaction in a knowledge system context
- Issues in, limitations of and barriers to tacit knowledge
management
- Human behaviors reflected within human-machine structuration
phenomena
