Measurement

================================================================  


 
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.
Possible topics for  papers in this minitrack are:  
·          Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge  management and/or 
organizational memory systems 
·          Methodologies and processes for measuring  knowledge management 
and/or organizational memory success and  performance 
·          Impact of knowledge management strategy,  organization, systems, 
culture, and other issues on knowledge  management/organizational memory 
success 
·          Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to  knowledge 
management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge  and 
organizational memory use 
·          Knowledge management, organizational memory, and  organizational 
learning metrics 
·          Knowledge management, organizational memory, and  organizational 
learning success factors and key performance  indicators 
·          Benchmarking of knowledge  management/organizational memory 
initiatives 
·          Case studies of knowledge management and  organizational memory 
success and performance  measurements 
·          Measuring knowledge management and/or  organizational memory 
performance in global organizations and globally  dispersed communities 
·          Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge  
management/organizational memory systems 
·          Modeling and measuring the impact of social  software on 
knowledge management performance 
·          Defining knowledge management and organizational  memory success 
·          Rigorous anecdotes and user stories and their  theoretical basis 
to facilitate the value of knowledge-based  initiatives 
·          Developing grounded theory approaches to valuing  
knowledge-based initiatives
We welcome original  research papers regardless of decision domain, 
decision process, or research  methodology. Since related problems have been 
studied in numerous problem  domains and diverse scientific disciplines, we 
encourage authors to explore  this rich literature and benefit from it.
