CALL FOR PAPERS 52nd Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-52) January 8-11, 2019 (Tuesday-Friday) Grand Wailea, Maui (https://www.grandwailea.com)

Minitrack: The Future of Knowledge Systems ( http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-52/knowledge-innovation-and-entrepreneurial-s... ) Part of the Track: Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems

Minitrack description: Organizational knowledge/KM initiatives are more and more faced with the advance of new technologies like cognitive computing, virtual assistants, and blockchain. Organizations need to assess such technologies’ 1) potentials, benefits, and challenges in general and for their knowledge/KM initiatives in particular; 2) impact on their technology landscape, processes, and culture; as well as 3) how they could be implemented and appropriated in an organizational context and as part of (existing) knowledge systems. Besides studying these aspects, this minitrack explores research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to leveraging the potential benefits of those new technologies in an organizational context.

We welcome both behavioral research as well as design science and design theory research related to the appropriation of the new technologies. Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Knowledge Systems and Cognitive Computing - Knowledge Systems and Artificial Intelligence/Deep Learning - Knowledge Systems and Blockchain - Knowledge Systems and Smart Workplaces - Knowledge Systems and Virtual Assistants/Bots - Impact of New Technologies on Organizational Processes and Culture - Digital, Human, Social, Local and Global Impact on Identities in an Artificial Intelligence World - Ethics of Knowledge Systems
