AMCIS 2013 Mini-Track: Knowledge Management and Collaboration in Global Information Systems
In learning from the past & charting the future of global information systems, the key question is what are the best and/or next practices in building a collaborative enterprise using global information systems?  While global organizations recognize that information and knowledge are vital to their operation, they do not know the best way to identify, value, cost, manage and realize the benefits of their intellectual assets. This is probably due to a knowledge gap between theory and practice.  Consequently, technology, hardware and software are often seen as solutions to the problem, rather than an increased focus on the content (data, information and knowledge).

As more countries join the ranks of the industrialized nations, the sophistication of the global market and number of global competitors have eliminated any advantage to a simple presence in international markets. The focus of this mini-track will be on understanding the fundamental conditions of the industry and bridging the knowledge, gap in Global Information Systems.
