Minitrack Details:
Knowledge and innovation are inextricably linked. As trends such
as digitalization, big data and AI continue to generate profound
challenges through ever-increasing complexity, knowledge and
innovation management (KIM) becomes fundamental to creating
competitive advantage in a wide range of environments. This
minitrack explores the role of KIM in the context of these rapidly
changing circumstances, highlighting the role of knowledge and
innovation management in supporting various processes such as
organizational agility, ambidexterity, knowledge sharing and
collaboration to support innovation.
The focus of this minitrack supports alternative approaches to
innovation and other organizational activities in complex
environments involving multiple participants and stakeholders.
These themes are open to exploring new methods and organizational
structures for improving and accelerating innovation and raise
important new issues about how knowledge is created and applied to
derive business value, generate new ideas, and support innovation.
The fundamental role of knowledge in acquiring and maintaining
competitive advantage emphasizes the need for effective and
strategic KIM in organizations. When effective and reliable
methods drive approaches to KIM, this in turn supports the
integration of value-creating activities into organizational
processes and increases an organization's potential to achieve
innovation performance and business competitiveness.
This minitrack encourages the investigation of KIM in challenging
and complex environments, including (but not limited to) finance,
professional services; government; energy and environment;
education; operations and supply chain management across the
private, public and not-for-profit sectors. In line with this
challenging research issue, this minitrack solicits papers on the
broadest range of research methodologies including case studies,
action research, experimentation, surveys, and simulations.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
* Knowledge, complexity and innovation
* Digitalization-based innovation
* New business models to support KIM
* Managing knowledge and open innovation models
* KIM and innovation networks
* Managing knowledge to support organizational agility
* KIM to support exploration/exploitation
* Implementation issues in using KIM to support innovation
* Managing knowledge for lean innovation
* Innovation in the face of uncertainty
* Managing innovation in a global environment
* KIM in startup environments
* Knowledge for organizational adaptation to market and
environmental change
* Knowledge co-creation in communities, markets and open
platforms.
* Tools and techniques for managing innovation through knowledge
sharing and collaboration
* Social media as a KM tool for stimulating and/or supporting
innovation
* How management of knowledge contributes to the generation,
evaluation and implementation of new products, services, processes
and solutions
* KIM to support collaborative and creative work
* Knowledge sharing, diffusion and creativity: the influence of
organizational culture and structure
