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
