************************************************************************************************************



Main goal of the track is to gather current research with an emphasis on how digitization impacts KM in the context of a changing business and social environment focusing on emerging trends such as sharing society and economy. KM has become an interdisciplinary research field - the traditional gap between researcher from a technology-oriented versus a human-oriented angle has been bridged by holistic, socio-technical approaches. We currently see strong developments towards research on data-driven technologies, AI, changing digital tools (such as the use of social software or machine learning for business and private purposes) as well as towards entire digital business models (such as multi-sided online platforms or networks and online communities) fostering knowledge sharing across organizations.

Due to digitization, organizational and national boundaries become more blurred and knowledge can be diffused much easier. Openness and inter-organizational collaboration build the digital pathway of rich, contextualized and sustainable knowledge sharing activities among networked persons within and beyond organizational boundaries. Besides benefits of the increased sharing also risks of losing competitive advantage arise. Hence, organizations should carefully balance their activities to promote and control knowledge sharing, to protect their competitive knowledge.

This track aims to promote multi-disciplinary contributions dealing with a managerial, an economic, a methodological, a cultural or a socio-technical perspective. Submissions based on theoretical research, design research, action research, or behavioral research are encouraged.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:



* Requirements of digitization towards KM

* KM in the context of data-driven business models

* Knowledge risks arising along digitized supply chains

* Balancing knowledge sharing and knowledge protection for inter-organizational collaboration

* From technology-oriented towards human-oriented KM in digital environments

* Social and behavioral issues in the context of KM and digitization

* KM and technology enhanced learning

* AI for technology-mediated social collaboration

* Knowledge life cycle and data-driven decision support

* Cross-organizational, cross-border and cross-cultural KM in digitized worls

* AI to capture and share knowledge in social networks and distributed contexts

* Support for mature KM solutions: KM governance, KM strategies, KM maturity models, and KM performance

* KM and risk management

* KM for digital competency development



We solicit full research papers and research in progress papers for this track.
