Dear colleagues!

I am happy to inform you, that there will be a minitrack "*The Future of Knowledge Management: Visions, Opportunities and Challenges Minitrack https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-56/knowledge-innovation-and-entrepreneurial-systems/#the-future-of-knowledge-management-visions-opportunities-and-challenges-minitrack"* at the next HICSS conference in Hawaii (Maui), which is co-organized by our institute. HICSS is the #1 IS conference in terms of citations as recorded by Google Scholar. More than 1 million downloads have been counted from the proceedings of the last four HICSS conferences.

We cordially invite you to submit a paper for this new minitrack and ask you to forward the CfP to your colleagues. Paper submission deadline is June, 15 2022. Please find a CfP below. Don't hesitate to contact me in case of any questions. We are also very happy that we have can offer a fast track to journal with the journal "The Learning Organization" (Emerald). All the best!

Alexander Kaiser

*********************************

Call for papers

The field of Knowledge Management (KM) has been undergoing a fundamental transformation. On the one hand, new and emerging topics such as Responsible Knowledge Management, Spiritual Knowledge Management or KM in Purpose-driven Organizations are gaining traction in research and practice. On the other hand, the ever increasing computational capacities and features of digital technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, are changing how we collaborate, communicate and connect, pathing the way for powerful modern Knowledge Management Systems. What do all these changes mean for the way we understand and study knowledge and KM? This minitrack is intended to bring together novel ideas to explore the future role of KM research and KM practice in a changing and increasingly dynamic world. Our overall goal is to take first steps in defining a research agenda for KM of the future.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to share and present their ideas and proposals which topics KM research should address in the next decade. We welcome submissions for this minitrack adopting different theoretical lenses and world views, using a variety of research methods and conceptual ideas, and exploring the topic with a visionary mindset. Topics covered include (but are not limited to):

* What role should KM play in an increasingly connected world and how to ensure that role is realized? * Novel KM research ways and approaches that contribute to insights on how people, organizations, and society in general can thrive in a changing and increasingly complex world. * What role does KM play in the transformation towards sustainable business? * Business Ethics and KM – what can KM contribute to doing well by doing good? * How can new approaches to KM, such as Responsible KM, be concretized and translated into tools, techniques, and methods? * What are epistemological alternatives to the prevailing paradigm of instrumental-calculative rationality, i.e., to the reliance on rational knowledge and thinking? * KM and Organizational Spirituality – what is their link? * What is the role of practical wisdom (i.e., phronesis) in managing organizations? * How can the realization of an organization’s purpose and KM be connected? * How can KM support topics such as Organizational Becoming or Organizational Self-Enactment? * What is the role of tacit knowledge and how can the use of tacit knowledge be further improved in organizations and at the individual level? * KM as an enabler for remote work * KM as the foundation for Artificial Intelligence – or Artificial Intelligence as enabler for KM, or both directions? * How much knowledge is in Knowledge Graphs? * In what ways do new digital technologies change how people and organizations communicate and collaborate, and how does this change KM? * What is the role of established KM frameworks in an increasingly digital world? * What is the role of unlearning in envisioning as well as adopting new KM practices?

This minitrack welcomes all types of contributions, both conceptual and empirical, using a variety of methods to provide new insights into the first steps of a research agenda for KM of the future.
