style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in">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.<o:p></o:p></P><BR>Possible topics for papers in this minitrack
