[AISWorld] CfP HICSS-58 Minitrack "The future of Knowledge Management"

[Alexander Kaiser]

Dear colleagues!

There is still more than a month left to submit a cool paper for our 
mini-track “The Future of Knowledge Management” at the prestigious HICSS 
conference in Hawaii.
Our minitrack is maybe one of the most innovative at this conference and 
also serves as a space for discussing new, visionary and even a little 
crazy ideas, approaches and models for the knowledge management of the 
future.

You can find the full Call for Papers at https://short.wu.ac.at/yt3c

--> Topics covered include (but are not limited to):

*) The future role of KM in Artificial Intelligence
KM as the foundation for Artificial Intelligence – or Artificial 
Intelligence as enabler for KM, or both directions?
How should we integrate AI-based systems into KM initiatives as they 
possess increasing processing capabilities and degrees of agency?
How much knowledge is in digital representations of knowledge, such as 
knowledge graphs?

*) The further development of new approaches and ideas currently 
emerging in KM
How can new approaches to KM, such as Responsible KM, be realized by 
means of concrete tools, techniques, and methods?
KM and Spirituality – what is their link? What role could Spiritual KM 
play in the future of KM?
What are epistemological alternatives to the prevailing paradigm of 
instrumental-calculative rationality, i.e., to the reliance on rational 
knowledge and thinking?
How to enable the knowledge flow of non-rational knowledge for 
individuals and/or in organizations?
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?
What is the role of unlearning in envisioning as well as adopting new KM 
practices?

*) The future role of KM in society
In what ways do new digital technologies change how people and 
organizations communicate and collaborate, and how does this change KM? 
How and to what extent should we expand established KM frameworks to 
account for new digital technologies?
How can insights from KM research and practice enable remote work?
What role should KM play in an increasingly connected world and how to 
ensure that role is realized?
How can KM research tackle and contribute to solving the grand 
challenges of our times?
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?

We are very looking forward to your submissions. Submission deadline is 
June, 15th
Please do not hesitate to contact me or my co-chairs if you have any 
questions or require further information.

All the best!
