          Recent reports show that more and more companies adopt social
          media to
          support knowledge management (KM). These companies experience
          considerable
          changes in the way they communicate and collaborate internally
          once they
          have implemented related technologies and platforms. In
          addition, the challenges
          of the digital age make transforming underlying work practices
          and organizational
          structures more urgent. While the organizational capacity to
          deal with
          social media is maturing, we are far from embracing those
          changes on knowledge
          practices. A number of questions is to be addressed: What does
          the emergence
          of social and related mobile media mean for KM initiatives in
          companies?
          Do they have to and how do they rethink their processes and
          strategies?
          What are the timely relevant research fields for academia?
          Which of our
          established KM models do still hold, where do we need new
          models or frameworks?
          This minitrack calls for contributions that take KM one step
          further in
          the light of these contexts.

          

          Topics include but are not limited to:

          * Exploring existent theories to understand social and mobile
          media related
          KM and work place phenomena

          * Appropriation and use of social and mobile media upon
          individual users,
          groups, businesses, and governments for KM

          * Role of social and mobile collaboration in digital
          transformation and
          KM strategies

          * Changing organizational cultures and structures through
          social and mobile
          media

          * Social media and KM performance

          * Sociomateriality and ontological issues

          * New leadership paradigms in knowledge practices and in
          connected workforce
          environments

          * Risks and challenges of social and mobile media for
          knowledge practices,
          e.g. information overload, technostress, and protection of
          information
          assets

          * Value and risks of analytics through the social and mobile
          technologies
          enabled “digital footprint” of the organization

          * New developments in knowledge and work practices, e.g.
          adaptive mix
