TRACK DESCRIPTION:
As we progress further into the information age, the value of having
access to information and the value of having the ability to interpret
available information are increasing exponentially. "Easy money" in
capital markets is flowing to the companies that create or promise to
create wealth using information and knowledge. Information and
knowledge-based organizations (so called, infomediaries) are
"out-capitalizing" traditional organizations in value chains. In this
new economy, only those organizations that are best in managing
information and knowledge will survive and prosper.
This phenomenon is not just limited to the United States or other
advanced countries, but also evident in developing countries. This track
is organized to discuss all issues related to information and knowledge
management in global settings.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS
Papers (completed or in-progress: about 20 double spaced pages),
extended abstracts (completed or in-progress research: about 4-6 pages),
panel and workshop proposals (2-4 pages) dealing with (but not limited
to) the following topics are invited. Please note the name of this
track on the cover page.
1. Conceptual and theoretical issues
2. Research frameworks, methods, methodologies, architectures, and
infrastructure issues
3. Use of a specific technologies, tools and techniques in managing
(including identifying, capturing, structuring, storing, refining,
personalizing, distributing, or applying) information and knowledge
4. Design, development, implementation, and maintenance of information
and knowledge management systems (IKMS)
5. Adoption and acceptance of IKMS
6. Outsourcing of IKMS
7. Performance evaluation issues (including measurement scales,
methodology, valuation of knowledge assets/intellectual properties,
quantifying costs and benefits, etc.)
8. Sharing, trust and coordination issues (in both traditional and
virtual/networked organizations)
9. Roles of information and knowledge managers
10. Role/impact of information and knowledge management on
organizational productivity, competitive advantage, organizational
processes, organizational structures, innovation, or marketing.
