This track aims at improving knowledge management practices in government and e-government. We are particularly interested in interoperability projects that require working and sharing learning experiences. Thus, the track seeks to answer the question: How human and social capital and knowledge management practices could be used to increase interoperability among Government and eGovernment projects? Topics such as social network, interoperability, knowledge sharing culture help us to understand the reasons for success based on the knowledge management projects in government.

Research issues as follows are of special interest but not limited to:

§ eGovernment Projects based on KM practices	§ Social network in Government / eGovernment projects
§ Human capital usage in Government / eGovernment	§ Interoperability among organizations and governments and KM
§ KM in Government: Country cases	§ Other related topics

Call for Papers Mini Track on Knowledge Management, from Theory to Practice and Future Trends

Track Chair: Mohamed Rabhi, SABIC Technology and Innovation, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

There are divergent approaches to the knowledge management (KM) field. Academics and theoreticians put more emphasis on the research aspects; they develop complex frameworks, propose multidirectional processes, and suggest wide ranges of solutions. Criteria for work quality and success in this approach include peer reviewed publication acceptance, funding-customer satisfaction, and successful “degree” completion. On the other hand, KM practitioners in the field focus on short to mid-term simple and practical solutions that have immediate business impact on the organization. They do not allow room for theoretic or exploratory work; results have to be tangible, quantifiable in simple metrics, and felt within a reasonable time from project initiation. The mini track will address these questions: which approach contributes more to KM adoption and sustainability in today’s turbulent economy? Do we really need to promote one or the other? Or, like many other fields, do they both have to coexist for the advancement of KM to cope with a continuously changing world.

Suggested topics include but are not limited to:

§ KM as a recognized discipline in academic institutions: how did KM evolve and took a place/shape in academia; is it still below expectations? If yes, why?	§ KM research areas in universities: major focus/topics of KM, objectives, how to measure success of KM in academia? Graduates? Attendance? Publications; attracted funding? Importance of KM funded projects in academia.
§ KM in public sector and NGOs: evolution, importance, objectives, how is success perceived/measured?	§ KM in the private sector: Objectives; Limitations; Metrics of success.
§ Divergence, convergence, synergy among KM activities at various institutions (private, public, NGOs, academia, etc.)	§ Other related topics
