VALUE, SUCCESS, AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS OF KNOWLEDGE, INNOVATION, AND

In the KNOWLEDGE, INNOVATION, AND ENTREPRENEURIAL SYSTEMS TRACK



4-7 January, 2022

Research into knowledge systems, 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 knowledge/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 knowledge/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 measuring 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 knowledge system, KM, organizational
memory, and organizational learning success. Eventually, another purpose of
this minitrack is to present research on how to value knowledge-based
initiatives.
