Call for Papers HICSS – 52 January 8-11, 2019

Track: Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems

Minitrack: Reports from the Field: Knowledge and Learning Applications in Practice

Papers due by JUNE 15, 2018

The HICSS conference, sponsored by IEEE, brings together a broad cross-section of researchers in system sciences—including software development, social media, energy transmission, marketing systems, knowledge management and information systems. Now in its 52st year, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) is one of the longest-standing continuously running scientific conferences.

HICSS is the #1 IS conference in terms of citations as recorded by Google Scholar. Accepted full papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society and maintained in the IEEE Digital Library. HICSS publications account for the top 2% downloads of all IEEE conferences, and have been consistently ranked as the most cited papers in top journal publications.

HICSS-52 will be held January 8-11, 2019 at Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii Call for Papers

What is the role of knowledge management in practice? How do our theories on knowledge management and organizational learning contribute to real-world applications? While numerous journals focus exclusively on these topics, and several information systems-oriented conferences feature KM and OL-specific tracks, theory is at risk of drifting away from practice. Although not specifically documented in the literature, there is a gap between the knowledge systems research currently being conducted and the needs and practical experiences of knowledge workers. We should be aware that there is an active practitioner base of knowledge workers who develop, implement, manage, and use knowledge management systems. Likewise, there are countless practical perspectives on how to initiate, coordinate, and monitor organizational learning processes that need to have a voice.

The goal of this minitrack is to provide this “bridge” between the academic and theoretical knowledge management and learning scholars that develop theory and the systems practitioner community that actually uses this knowledge on a daily basis. This mini-track encourages two directions of knowledge exchange. On the one hand, it addresses the question of how theory informs and impacts practice. On the other hand, it sheds light on how practice can influence theory. Methods can include – but are not limited to- case study and action research.

Possible contributions regarding reports from the field in knowledge management may include, but are not limited to the following:

1. Best practices in using technology, processes, or personnel to promote: 1.1. Knowledge creation 1.2. Knowledge maintenance 1.3. Storage of knowledge 1.4. Retrieving knowledge 1.5. A willingness to contribute to a knowledge repository 1.6. A willingness to seek knowledge from a knowledge repository 1.7. Learning and unlearning processes in organizations 1.8. Communities of Practice 2. Specific challenges encountered in knowledge management that either: 2.1. Have been successfully been overcome in designing, implementing or using a knowledge management system 2.2. Those challenges that have defied resolution 3. Knowledge Management and strategic planning: 3.1. Strategic planning of knowledge management processes 3.2. Vision development and KM; theoretical and practical foundations of knowledge-based vision and strategy development 3.3. KM, strategy and organizational routines 4. Other challenges to the research community

This minitrack welcomes all types of papers, both conceptual and empirical, using diverse methods to provide new insights into the fields of KM and organizational learning.
