HICSS 2015 CfP Knowledge Systems Minitrack: Knowledge Management for innovation, agility and complexity management.

The aims and objectives for implementing KM are many. This track focuses on the contribution that KM makes to supporting organizational innovation, agility and complexity management.  As the global economic environment continues to challenge, a fundamental transformation of KM has been taking place in two directions: (1) exploring how the inflows and outflows of knowledge have expanded to accelerate internal innovation and expand the markets for external use of innovation, and (2) how KM is used to support organizational agility and sustain business agility. Both these themes support alternative approach to organizing for innovation and organizational agility in an open environment with multiple participants and stakeholders. These themes are open to the exploration of the effectiveness of new methods and organizational structures for improving innovation and organizational agility by engaging a broader base of outside knowledge holders and raise important new issues about how knowledge is created and applied to derive business value, generate new ideas, and develop new products and solutions. In line with this challenging research issue, the objective of this mini track is to draw appropriate papers on the broadest range of research methodologies including case studies, action research, experimentation, survey, and simulation.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

*         Knowledge, complexity and innovation
