*************************************************
CALL  FOR PAPERS
Forty-Fifth Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System  Sciences
(HICSS-45)
January 4 - 7, 2012 (Wednesday-Saturday)
Grand  Walea on Maui (http://www.grandwailea.com)

Track: Knowledge  Systems
Minitrack: Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance  Measurements

Research into knowledge management (KM), organizational  memories, and
organizational learning has been affected by investigations  such as
implementation aspects, system developments, or knowledge flows  during a
number of years. Therefore, a high maturity level of KM research  has been
achieved. However, organizational KM initiatives are more and more  faced
with budget cuts and justification demands due to intense competition  in
today's business environments. The influences of the rapid pace  of
globalization and of the ongoing liberalization of national  and
international markets lead to the emergence of increased pressure  on
existing companies. Project managers of KM initiatives like Chief  Knowledge
Officers need to justify their budgets and thus are in need of  qualitative
and quantitative evidence of the initiatives' success. In  addition, ROI
calculations and traditional accounting approaches do not  tell an adequate
story when proposing knowledge-based initiatives. This  minitrack explores
research into strategies, methodologies, and stories  that relate to measure
this success. In addition, this minitrack will be  used to explore the
bodies of performance measurements that define the  current state of
research in measuring KM, organizational memory, and  organizational
learning success. Eventually, another purpose of this  minitrack is to
present research on how to value knowledge-based  initiatives.

Topics and research areas include, but are not limited  to:
* Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge management  and/or
organizational memory systems
* Methodologies and processes for  measuring knowledge management and/or
organizational memory success and  performance
* Impact of knowledge management strategy, organization,  systems, culture,
and other issues on knowledge management/organizational  memory success
* Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to  knowledge
management/organizational memory/organizational learning,  knowledge and
organizational memory use
* Knowledge management,  organizational memory, and organizational learning
metrics
* Knowledge  management, organizational memory, and organizational learning
success  factors and key performance indicators
* Benchmarking of knowledge  management/organizational memory initiatives
* Case studies of knowledge  management and organizational memory success
and performance  measurements
* Measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory  performance
in global organizations and globally dispersed communities
*  Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge  management/organizational
memory systems
* Modeling and measuring the  impact of social software on knowledge
management performance
* Defining  knowledge management and organizational memory success
* Rigorous anecdotes  and user stories and their theoretical basis to
facilitate the value of  knowledge-based initiatives
* Developing grounded theory approaches to  valuing knowledge-based
initiatives
* Understanding knowledge-based  initiatives' activities and output as
service offerings and exploring their  productivity
* Usage, adoption, and success of knowledge management  methods
