[AISWorld] FINAL CfP for HICSS-55 conference: Minitrack "Reports from the Field: Knowledge and Learning Applications in Practice"

[Alexander Kaiser]

  Dear colleagues!

Only 10 days to go till deadline!

I am happy to inform you, that there will be a minitrack "*"**Reports 
from the Field: Knowledge and Learning Applications in Practice"* at the 
next HICSS conference in Hawaii (Maui), which is co-organized by our 
institute. HICSS is the #1 IS conference in terms of citations as 
recorded by Google Scholar. More than 1 million downloads have been 
counted from the proceedings of the last four HICSS conferences.

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
