[AISWorld] CfP and fast track to journal for HICSS-56 conference, Minitrack "The Future of Knowledge Management: Visions, Opportunities and Challenges Minitrack"

[Alexander Kaiser]

Dear colleagues!

I am happy to inform you, that there will be a minitrack "*The Future of 
Knowledge Management: Visions, Opportunities and Challenges Minitrack 
<https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-56/knowledge-innovation-and-entrepreneurial-systems/#the-future-of-knowledge-management-visions-opportunities-and-challenges-minitrack>"* 
at the next HICSS conference in Hawaii (Maui), which is co-organized by 
our institute. HICSS is the #1 IS conference in terms of citations as 
recorded by Google Scholar. More than 1 million downloads have been 
counted from the proceedings of the last four HICSS conferences.

We cordially invite you to submit a paper for this new minitrack and ask 
you to forward the CfP to your colleagues.
Paper submission deadline is June, 15 2022. Please find a CfP below. 
Don't hesitate to contact me in case of any questions.
We are also very happy that we have can offer a fast track to journal 
with the journal "The Learning Organization" (Emerald).
All the best!

Alexander Kaiser

Call for papers

The field of Knowledge Management (KM) has been undergoing a fundamental 
transformation. On the one hand, new and emerging topics such as 
Responsible Knowledge Management, Spiritual Knowledge Management or KM 
in Purpose-driven Organizations are gaining traction in research and 
practice. On the other hand, the ever increasing computational 
capacities and features of digital technologies, such as Artificial 
Intelligence, are changing how we collaborate, communicate and connect, 
pathing the way for powerful modern Knowledge Management Systems. What 
do all these changes mean for the way we understand and study knowledge 
and KM? This minitrack is intended to bring together novel ideas to 
explore the future role of KM research and KM practice in a changing and 
increasingly dynamic world. Our overall goal is to take first steps in 
defining a research agenda for KM of the future.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to share and present their 
ideas and proposals which topics KM research should address in the next 
decade. We welcome submissions for this minitrack adopting different 
theoretical lenses and world views, using a variety of research methods 
and conceptual ideas, and exploring the topic with a visionary mindset. 
Topics covered include (but are not limited to):

  * What role should KM play in an increasingly connected world and how
    to ensure that role is realized?
  * Novel KM research ways and approaches that contribute to insights on
    how people, organizations, and society in general can thrive in a
    changing and increasingly complex world.
  * What role does KM play in the transformation towards sustainable
    business?
  * Business Ethics and KM – what can KM contribute to doing well by
    doing good?
  * How can new approaches to KM, such as Responsible KM, be concretized
    and translated into tools, techniques, and methods?
  * What are epistemological alternatives to the prevailing paradigm of
    instrumental-calculative rationality, i.e., to the reliance on
    rational knowledge and thinking?
  * KM and Organizational Spirituality – what is their link?
  * What is the role of practical wisdom (i.e., phronesis) in managing
    organizations?
  * How can the realization of an organization’s purpose and KM be
    connected?
  * How can KM support topics such as Organizational Becoming or
    Organizational Self-Enactment?
  * What is the role of tacit knowledge and how can the use of tacit
    knowledge be further improved in organizations and at the individual
    level?
  * KM as an enabler for remote work
  * KM as the foundation for Artificial Intelligence – or Artificial
    Intelligence as enabler for KM, or both directions?
  * How much knowledge is in Knowledge Graphs?
  * In what ways do new digital technologies change how people and
    organizations communicate and collaborate, and how does this change KM?
  * What is the role of established KM frameworks in an increasingly
    digital world?
  * What is the role of unlearning in envisioning as well as adopting
    new KM practices?

This minitrack welcomes all types of contributions, both conceptual and 
empirical, using a variety of methods to provide new insights into the 
first steps of a research agenda for KM of the future.
