KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN ACTION
Special Issue of Journal on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (JCSCW) http://www.uni-siegen.de/fb5/wirtschaftsinformatik/cfp.html
Guest Editors: - Mark Ackerman, University of Michigan - Carla Simone, University of Milano-Bicocca - Volker Wulf, University of Siegen and Fraunhofer FIT
THEME: Organizations of different kinds, from structured companies up to social networks or virtual communities, are becoming increasingly aware of the need to collect, organize, mobilize, increase, in sum manage, expertise and knowledge which characterize their ability to stay alive, adapt and evolve in a turbulent context. Knowledge Management (KM) is a keyword under which different organizational and technological approaches to answer this need are referred to. From the beginning of the KM discourse, the CSCW community has taken a critical stance both in asking for applied research in the practices of real organizations and relating technological and organizational innovations. The Special Issue aims to collect papers reporting on ethnographically-based or field-based experiences that are confronted with real situations and highlight problems, requirements and technical solutions that are derived from those experiences by taking into account the following perspectives:
- organizational strategies to enact and promote KM within organizations, and their relation with ICT technology - various kinds of knowledge, application domains, organizational structures, and their implication on KM - methods and approaches for the design of KM solutions - techniques and technologies for a sustainable KM (CSCW-based approaches, web-based approaches, etc.) - critical success factors for KM socio-technical solutions - evaluation of KM applications in real situations - lessons-learned in each phase of the KM application life-cycle, from conception up to continuous adaptation - critical comparison of technologies, field studies and strategies in KM - any other perspective contributing to a better understanding of KM in action
