Track description
Competitiveness of organizations is driven by how well organizations are 
able to deploy their tangible and intangible
knowledge assets in terms of competences, skills, expertise, structures, 
systems, processes, and practices to create
added value. In the 90’s this awareness culminated in an increased focus 
on Knowledge Management from both a practitioner
and academic perspective. Knowledge Management has now become an 
established discipline considering the conferences
and articles that include Knowledge Management concepts and themes that 
permeate and contribute to other fields such
as content management, competence management, innovation, business 
intelligence, and e-learning. Over the last few years
Knowledge Management has developed which is evident from new areas that 
enrich and broaden the discipline such as
governance, outsourcing, sustainable innovation, business intelligence, 
social networks and wiki’s. In this track we
welcome applied as well as theoretical research that deals with the more 
traditional topics in the discipline as well
as the more recent ones.

The topics of interest for this track therefore include but are not 
limited to:
• Knowledge strategy and governance
• Measurement of knowledge management processes and outcomes
• Knowledge management systems and technologies
• Development and change of knowledge management culture
• Organizing and embedding the KM function in organizations
• Inter-organizational knowledge sharing
• Sustainability of communities and networks of practice
• Collaboration in knowledge creation
• Knowledge Network Analysis: Application of SNA in KM
• Knowledge sharing and learning through social media
• Knowledge management of global work
• Knowledge management systems
• Knowledge management for sustainable innovation
