20th Annual Conference International Information Management Association
12-14 October 2009
Prairie View A& M University Houston, Texas USA
Theme: Integrating Technology ~ Home, Workplace and Community
===============================================================================
Track: Knowledge Management
Chairs: Remko Helms (Utrecht University) - Rachelle Bosua (University of Melbourne)
Track description Competitiveness of organizations is driven by how well organizations are able to deploy their tangible and intangible knowledge assets in terms of competences, skills, expertise, structures, systems, processes, and practices to create added value. In the 90’s this awareness culminated in an increased focus on Knowledge Management from both a practitioner and academic perspective. Knowledge Management has now become an established discipline considering the conferences and articles that include Knowledge Management concepts and themes that permeate and contribute to other fields such as content management, competence management, innovation, business intelligence, and e-learning. Over the last few years Knowledge Management has developed which is evident from new areas that enrich and broaden the discipline such as governance, outsourcing, sustainable innovation, business intelligence, social networks and wiki’s. In this track we welcome applied as well as theoretical research that deals with the more traditional topics in the discipline as well as the more recent ones.
The topics of interest for this track therefore include but are not limited to: • Knowledge strategy and governance • Measurement of knowledge management processes and outcomes • Knowledge management systems and technologies • Development and change of knowledge management culture • Organizing and embedding the KM function in organizations • Inter-organizational knowledge sharing • Sustainability of communities and networks of practice • Collaboration in knowledge creation • Knowledge Network Analysis: Application of SNA in KM • Knowledge sharing and learning through social media • Knowledge management of global work • Knowledge management systems • Knowledge management for sustainable innovation • Knowledge and expert seeking behavior • Recognition and rating of expertise • Knowledge discovery and business intelligence • (Innovative) knowledge management case studies
