| Communities of practice (CoPs) have become a theoretical focus for scholars during last two decades and increasingly developed by organizations. CoPs constitute a solution for improving performance and managing knowledge and intellectual capital. Despite the fact of usefulness of CoPs for problem solving, collative learning, creativity, innovation, and knowledge sharing in teams and organizations, the literature is still uncertain concerning the manageability of CoPs and there is not enough empirical research regarding the role of leaders in the process of creativity and innovation in CoPs. The key intention of this call is to bring together economists and other social scientists doing field or lab experiments in the above areas of research to present and discuss work in progress. | |
| Research issues as follows are of special interest: | | - Leadership in Knowledge-based organizations

| This mini-track focuses on knowledge sharing strategies aiming to reduce misinterpretations amongst actors.
Building trust between the actors, understanding the (inter)organizational needs, facilitating tools that ease and/or support collaborative work routine, changing organizational culture and dysfunctional climate are the highlighting issues of this mini-track. Special attention will be drawn on knowledge sharing behaviours of actors which have cultural and behavioural differences (i.e. work methodologies, disciplinary languages, communication channels and their uses and organizational structures within various contractual settings). Other popular areas are 1) planning (drivers, constraints, and challenges of knowledge sharing), 2) focusing on implicit knowledge and 3) performance evaluation of these strategies such as success, effectiveness, efficiency.
| |
| Research issues as follows are of special interest: - Planning and performance assessment of knowledge sharing strategies
| - Stimulating knowledge sharing behaviour
| - Tools (enablers), obstacles and drivers of knowledge sharing strategies
| - Sharing tacit knowledge in/across organizations
| - Intellectual assets of organizations in project environment
| - Learning knowledge sharing from other industries
| - Knowledge transfer among disciplines, knowledge integration among organizations

| The move toward a global knowledge economy continues to accelerate. Yet, today, the average businessperson has only a vague understanding of IC, one of the key fields concerned with the business implications of this knowledge economy. Even those who have tried to apply the concepts struggle to make the connection between intangibles and their financial bottom line. Although the field of IC continues to grow and develop, almost everyone in our community would agree that we labor in obscurity. This track seeks to explore how the IC community can move our field into the business mainstream. Case studies of successful IC projects are especially welcome. | |
| Research issues as follows are of special interest: - What are the barriers to mainstream adoption of IC concepts?
| - What will it take to move IC concepts into the mainstream?
| - What are the core concepts upon which mainstream adoption should be built?
| - What are the benefits a businessperson can expect from an IC project?
| - What is working in current IC practice?
| - In this effort, are there lessons the IC world learn from the developments in web and enterprise 2.0?
| - What is the right balance between top-down and bottom-up solutions to IC?
| - What is the role of the “expert” in adoption of IC concepts in the mainstream?
