> The HICSS conference, brings together a broad cross-section of researchers
> in system sciences—including software development, social media, energy
> transmission, marketing systems, knowledge management and information
> systems. Now in its 53st year, the Hawaii International Conference on
> System Sciences (HICSS) is one of the longest-standing continuously running
> scientific conferences.
>
> HICSS is the #1 IS conference in terms of citations as recorded by Google
> Scholar and is top ranked third in value to the MIS field.. HICSS
> publications have been consistently ranked as the most cited papers in top
> journal publications. HICSS papers emphasize advances in research and
> development activities in several areas of the system sciences. Papers may
> be theoretical,
> conceptual, tutorial, or descriptive in nature.
>
> HICSS-53 will be held January 7-10, 2020 at Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii
>
> Call for Papers
> What is the role of knowledge management in practice? How do our theories
> on knowledge management and organizational learning contribute to
> real-world applications? While numerous journals focus exclusively on these
> topics, and several information systems-oriented conferences feature KM and
> OL-specific tracks, theory is at risk of drifting away from practice.
> Although not specifically documented in the literature, there is a gap
> between the knowledge systems research currently being conducted and the
> needs and practical experiences of knowledge workers. We should be aware
> that there is an active practitioner base of knowledge workers who develop,
> implement, manage, and use knowledge management systems. Likewise, there
> are countless practical perspectives on how to initiate, coordinate, and
> monitor organizational learning
> processes that need to have a voice.
>
> The goal of this minitrack is to provide this “bridge” between the
> academic and theoretical knowledge management and learning scholars that
> develop theory and the systems practitioner community that actually uses
> this knowledge on a daily basis. This mini-track encourages two directions
> of knowledge exchange. On the one hand, it addresses the question of how
> theory informs and impacts practice. On the other hand, it sheds light on
> how practice can influence theory. Methods can include – but are not
> limited to- case study and action research.
>
> Possible contributions regarding reports from the field in knowledge
> management may include, but are not limited to the following:
> 1. Best practices in using technology, processes, or personnel to promote:
> 1.1. Knowledge creation
> 1.2. Knowledge maintenance
> 1.3. Storage of knowledge
> 1.4. Retrieving knowledge
> 1.5. A willingness to contribute to a knowledge repository
> 1.6. A willingness to seek knowledge from a knowledge repository
> 1.7. Learning and unlearning processes in organizations
> 1.8. Communities of Practice
> 2. Specific challenges encountered in knowledge management that either:
> 2.1. Have been successfully been overcome in designing, implementing or
> using a knowledge management system
> 2.2. Those challenges that have defied resolution
> 3. Knowledge Management and strategic planning:
> 3.1. Strategic planning of knowledge management processes
> 3.2. Vision development and KM; theoretical and practical foundations of
> knowledge-based vision and strategy development
> 3.3. KM, strategy and organizational routines
> 4. Other challenges to the research community
>
> This minitrack welcomes all types of papers, both conceptual and
> empirical, using diverse methods to provide new insights into the fields of
> KM and organizational learning.
