*Minitrack Details: Knowledge and Innovation Management: connecting theory
to practice to business performance*

The fundamental role of knowledge in acquiring and maintaining competitive
advantage emphasizes the need for effective and strategic knowledge and
innovation management (KIM) in organizations. When effective and reliable
methods drive approaches to KIM, this in turn supports the integration of
value-creating activities into organizational processes and increases an
organization's potential to achieve innovation performance and business
competitiveness.

The ultimate aim of knowledge management and innovation work is to have a
positive impact on outcomes, namely business or organisational performance.
Business performance can be broader than simply achieving profits and can
indeed include environmental or social aspects of organisational impact and
outcomes. We seek papers that either present conceptual frameworks or data/
evidence of the connections between knowledge and innovation management
strategies and actions, and the broadly-based outcomes of these.

These can be deep case studies, cross sectional studies, action research,
experimentation, surveys or simulations that employ a rigorous methodology
that attests to the challenges of formulating or implementing effective KM
and innovation strategies and practices. Studies of knowledge management
initiatives or innovation capabilities and their deployment are especially
welcome.

This minitrack encourages the investigation of KIM in challenging and
complex environments, including (but not limited to) finance, professional
services; government; energy and environment; education; operations and
supply chain management across the private, public and not-for-profit
sectors.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

•       Knowledge, complexity and innovation

•       Digitalization-based innovation

·        New business models to support KIM

•       Managing knowledge and open innovation models

•       KIM and innovation networks

•       Managing knowledge to support organizational agility

·        KIM to support exploration/exploitation

•       Implementation issues in using KIM to support innovation

•       Managing knowledge for lean innovation

•       Innovation in the face of uncertainty

•       Managing innovation in a global environment

•       KIM in startup environments

•       Knowledge for organizational adaptation to market and environmental
change

•       Knowledge co-creation in communities, markets and open platforms.

•       Tools and techniques for managing innovation through knowledge
sharing and collaboration

•       Social media as a KM tool for stimulating and/or supporting
innovation

•       How management of knowledge contributes to the generation,
evaluation and implementation of new products, services, processes and
solutions

•       KIM to support collaborative and creative work

•       Knowledge sharing, diffusion and creativity: the influence of
organizational culture and structure
