================================================================ 
20th  Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) 

Track: Business  Intelligence and Knowledge Management  

Minitrack: Knowledge Management Success, Value, and  Performance  
Measurement


Savannah, GA – August 7-10, 2014

================================================================  

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.
Possible topics for papers in this minitrack  are:  
·         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
We welcome original  research papers regardless of decision domain, 
decision process, or research  methodology. Since related problems have been 
studied in numerous problem  domains and diverse scientific disciplines, we 
encourage authors to explore this  rich literature and benefit from it.
