CALL FOR PAPERS 51th Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-51) January 3-6, 2018 (Wednesday-Saturday) Hilton Waikoloa Village (http://www.hiltonwaikoloavillage.com http://www.hiltonwaikoloavillage.com)
Minitrack: Knowledge Value, Success and Performance Measurements (http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-51/knowledge-innovation-and-entrepreneurial-s... http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-51/knowledge-innovation-and-entrepreneurial-systems/#knowledge-value-success-and-performance-measurements-minitrack) Part of the Track: Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems
Minitrack description: Research into knowledge systems, knowledge management (KM), organizational memories, and organizational learning has been affected by investigations such as implementation aspects, system developments, or knowledge flows during a number of years. Therefore, a high maturity level of KM research has been achieved. However, organizational knowledge/KM initiatives are more and more faced with budget cuts and justification demands due to intense competition in today’s business environments. The influences of the rapid pace of globalization and of the ongoing liberalization of national and international markets lead to the emergence of increased pressure on existing companies. Project managers of knowledge/KM initiatives like Chief Knowledge Officers need to justify their budgets and, thus, are in need of qualitative and quantitative evidence of the initiatives’ success. In addition, ROI calculations and traditional accounting approaches do not tell an adequate story when proposing knowledge-based initiatives. This minitrack explores research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to measuring this success. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring knowledge system, KM, organizational memory, and organizational learning success. Eventually, another purpose of this minitrack is to present research on how to value knowledge-based initiatives.
Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: * Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge systems, knowledge management, and/or organizational memory systems * Methodologies and processes for measuring knowledge systems, knowledge management and/or organizational memory success and performance * Impact of knowledge use, knowledge management strategy, organization, systems, culture, and other issues on knowledge management/organizational memory success * Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to knowledge management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge and organizational memory use * Knowledge systems, knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning metrics * Knowledge systems, knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning success factors and key performance indicators * Benchmarking of knowledge systems/knowledge management/organizational memory initiatives * Case studies of knowledge systems, knowledge management and organizational memory success and performance measurements * Measuring knowledge systems, knowledge management and/or organizational memory performance in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge systems/knowledge management/organizational memory systems * Modeling and measuring the impact of social software on knowledge system/knowledge management performance * Defining knowledge systems, knowledge management and organizational memory success * Rigorous anecdotes and user stories and their theoretical basis to facilitate the value of knowledge-based initiatives * Developing grounded theory approaches to valuing knowledge-based initiatives * Understanding knowledge-based initiatives’ activities and output as service offerings and exploring their productivity * Usage, adoption and success of knowledge management methods
