DESCRIPTION
Digitization currently changes the business world as well as the society as whole. In this regard knowledge is still important or becomes even more important. Especially, due to shorter product life cycles the half-life period of knowledge declines. This is a challenge for organizations as well as for the individual and generates new requirements to knowledge management (KM). Additional powerful digital technologies such as cheap sensors generating big amounts of data and advanced data analytic approaches for knowledge discovery have led to substantial changes in knowledge sharing practices.
This track raises the questions whether and how digitization in general change the socio-technical aspects related to managing organizational knowledge. To reach new horizons, with respect to digitization, the question is how advanced data analytic approaches and AI can support knowledge creation and especially help to externalize implicit knowledge. Further, data-driven technologies seem promising in context detection and, thus, in the delivery of suitable training artefacts and in connecting people.
We welcome both full research papers and research-in-progress papers.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
> Requirements of digitization towards KM
> Knowledge risks arising along digital supply chains
> Social and behavioural issues in the context of KM and digitization
> KM and technology enhanced learning
> AI for technology-mediated social collaboration
> Knowledge life cycle and data-driven decision support
> Cross-organizational, cross-border and cross-cultural KM in digitized worlds
> AI to capture and share knowledge in social networks and distributed contexts
> Support for mature KM solutions: KM governance, KM strategies, KM maturity models, and KM performance
> System design for new generation KM systems

IMPORTANT DATES
> 18.11.2020 Paper submission deadline
> 03.03.2021 Notification of conditional acceptance
> 23.04.2021 Final acceptance
