Minitrack Description
==================
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 of interest 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
