ECKM

23rd European Conference on Knowledge Management
1-2 September 2022, Naples, Italy

ACI is taking a hybrid approach towards conferences this year. We are planning to run our series of conferences as physical events with the option for participants to join virtually. If when it draws close to the time  of the event we are unable to meet in person due to COVID-19 restrictions the conference will move fully into the virtual format. We urge you to continue to submit your abstracts and papers in line with the published dates (extensions will be granted on request).

Personal Message from the Conference Chairs

Over the past years, research on knowledge management has witnessed considerable attention throughout the world and has become a strategic factor for all industries to survive in today’s dynamic global business competition. The concept of knowledge has been analysed in literature from different perspectives concerning what is knowledge, where it is embedded, and how it can be classified. Starting from these conceptualizations, interesting recent trends have been appeared such as impact of knowledge management on performance, market knowledge sourcing determinants, heterogeneous knowledge ties, role of international joint venture in managing and exploiting knowledge, KM and sustainable innovation. These trends have given unique conceptualization in the KM domain dealing with efficient and effective KM processes, as well as systematic strategies pertaining to knowledge creation, storage, sharing, and execution.

Since the moment the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, there is a need to reconsider and revisit the existing theories of KM in light of the different 4.0 enabling technologies occurring within companies, such as the usage of blockchain and Industry 4.0 enabling technologies (e.g., additive manufacturing, augmented and virtual reality, industrial internet, cloud computing, big data and analytics), which enable to tackle disruptions and achieve organizational resilience. Machine learning, telecommuting and smart working paradigms are the pillars that are boosting the growth of organizations.

Join us in Naples in September 2022 for the 23rd edition of the European Conference on Knowledge Management that will be co-organized by the University of Naples Parthenope and the University of Naples Federico II. Drawing on KM theories, we encourage to present papers that examine the new digital knowledge management paradigm, employ original methodologies, and offer interesting theoretical and empirical contribution to this research theme. 

Prof. Roberto Cerchione and Prof. Piera Centobelli, Conference Chairs.
