ECKM - European Conference on Knowledge Management http://academic-conferences.org/eckm/eckm2012/eckm12-home.htm Ongoing developments and important dates for ECKM Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:12:51 -0500 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 1440 RSSeditor v0.9.54 (http://www.rss-info.com) Mini track on Global Application of Social Software Applications for KM http://academic-conferences.org/eckm/eckm2012/eckm12-call-papers.htm#Pawlowski Brendan Remenyi Knowledge management is no longer limited to one organization or one country. With increased cooperation within and across organizations, knowledge management has become a global issue. However, many approaches and concepts are still limited to one cultural context. The aim of this mini track is to discuss current developments and experiences of cross-border knowledge management to derive new solutions for this research area. A focus is the utilization of Social Software applications (SoSo). The traditional gap between the human and technology aspects of knowledge management can be reduced through the application of social technologies such as intra-organizational social networks and micro-blogs. However, applying this in cross-organizational and cross-border settings is still a major challenge. Contributions are invited towards theory-building in the domain as well as reports from practice and research in progress.

]]> Mini Track on Knowledge Strategies http://academic-conferences.org/eckm/eckm2012/eckm12-call-papers.htm#Bratianu Brendan Remenyi Strategies aiming at enhancing the level of organizational knowledge through knowledge generation, knowledge transfer and sharing, and reducing the knowledge loss are generally known as knowledge strategies. That means a new mind set is required  for top management to be able to integrate KM into the organizational culture and to link it with innovation management. 'For the most mature knowledge managing organizations today, the challenge that lies ahead is forging this link between knowledge management and fundamental business strategy' (Davenport & Prusak, 2000, p.IX). This means organizations need to develop strategies not only to generate internally new knowledge, but also to be able to acquire knowledge from the external environment in order to increase its level of total knowledge. This will increase the chances of success in generating a competitive advantage, which in turn will improve the interaction between KM and the business strategy. Knowledge strategies are directly linked to the powerful concepts of organizational intelligence, learning organization and wisdom management.

]]> Mini Track on Knowledge Management and Innovation http://academic-conferences.org/eckm/eckm2012/eckm12-call-papers.htm#Suciu Brendan Remenyi

This mini track aims to focus on the connection between knowledge management, innovation and creativity. We are interested in cross-disciplinary contributions that investigate the success or otherwise of KM and the creative economy. We would like to encourage case studies of how KM has been applied in creative and innovative business. We would like to hear from researchers working in the field of how to create and manage innovative clusters as well as how KM communities can innovate and prosper

]]> Mini Track on Competitive Intelligence and KM http://academic-conferences.org/eckm/eckm2012/eckm12-call-papers.htm#Competitive Brendan Remenyi Scholars and practitioners are increasingly recognizing a link between the fields of knowledge management (KM) and competitive intelligence (CI).  CI, at its heart, is about collecting and analyzing knowledge concerning competitors. As a result, there are aspects of KM that can contribute to the practice of CI, and CI practice can contribute to how KM is conducted.  Each field has the potential to advance the other, so it makes sense to make connections between them.  In this mini-track, we hope to advance those connections.

Papers covering any aspect of competitive intelligence are welcomed, including those on related topics, as listed in the bullets.  An explicit connection to KM should be made in the submission.  Highly competitive papers may be invited to submit to the Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business.

]]> Mini Track on Knowledge in Action http://academic-conferences.org/eckm/eckm2012/eckm12-call-papers.htm#Moffett Brendan Remenyi Knowledge Management has reached the stage of implementation in organisations across numerous sectors and functional areas. This track invites research and practitioner papers on the topic of Knowledge in Action. By investigating how KM is applied in a range of organisations/situations, can we identify key trends/approaches and have we reached the stage where a recipe for KM implementation can be defined. In addition, what factors enable KM implementation, what are the barriers and how have implementation problems been overcome in case examples. Overall can we identify what successful KM implementation involves.

]]> Mini Track on Knowledge and Organizational Learning in Healthcare Organizations http://academic-conferences.org/eckm/eckm2012/eckm12-call-papers.htm#Healthcare Brendan Remenyi Healthcare organizations will face major challenges in the following years: increased costs, greater pressure towards accountability and transparency, as well as a diminishing labour supply pool. Therefore, public and private healthcare organizations are looking closely at the benefits associated with knowledge management and process management. Because the healthcare environment is indeed very diverse, and many factors come into play to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services, healthcare leaders are achieving optimal healthcare outcomes through developing the capacity to create, distil and distribute knowledge. Put another way across the health sector, new initiatives which focus on interaction, collaboration and increased sharing of information and knowledge are taking place. The extended version of papers selected from this Mini Track will be published in the Service Industries Journal, published by Taylor & Francis indexed by SCIE, 2010 Impact Factor - 1.071.

Submissions are invited to this mini track on Knowledge and Organizational Learning in Healthcare Organizations co-chaired by Professors Dr. Gabriel Cepeda-Carrion, University of Seville, Spain and Dr. Juan-Gabriel Cegarra-Navarro, Universidad Politecnica de Cartagena, Spain, UK.

]]> Mini Track on Cultural Influences and Factors in KM http://academic-conferences.org/eckm/eckm2012/eckm12-call-papers.htm#Hessami Brendan Remenyi Culture is an emergence arising from shared values, beliefs, symbols, histories, characteristics and behaviours that pervades a human community. Given that knowledge and its transformation into value through prudent application is still largely a human attribute, culture as a pervasive eco-system can be regarded as a significant influencing factor in KM. This track focuses on all the culture driven factors that affect the attitudes, approach to and outcome of efforts in KM
