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 Minitrack Co-Chairs:
