The aims and objectives for implementing KM are many. This track focuses on
the contribution that KM makes to supporting organizational innovation and
strategic agility. As the global economic environment continues to
challenge, a fundamental transformation of KM has been taking place in two
directions: (1) exploring how the inflows and outflows of knowledge have
expanded to accelerate internal innovation and expand the markets for
external use of innovation, and (2) how KM is used to support and sustain
organizational agility. Both these themes support alternative approach to
organizing for innovation and other organizational activities in an open
environment with multiple participants and stakeholders. These themes are
open to the exploration of the effectiveness of new methods and
organizational structures for improving innovation and organizational
agility by engaging a broader base of outside knowledge holders and raise
important new issues about how knowledge is created and applied to derive
business value, generate new ideas, and develop new products and solutions.

In line with this challenging research issue, the objective of this mini
track is to draw appropriate papers on the broadest range of research
methodologies including case studies, action research, experimentation,
survey, and simulation.
