Professor Stefan Smolnik ist Mitausrichter von zwei Minitracks auf der HICSS-50

50th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, January 4-7, 2017, Big Island, Hawaii, US

Die 50. Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-50) findet vom 04. bis zum 07. Januar 2017 auf Big Island, Hawaii, USA, statt. Auch dieses Mal ist Professor Stefan Smolnik Mitausrichter von zwei Minitracks im Track "Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems". Den Minitrack "Knowledge Management Disrupted - Understanding the Impacts of Social and Mobile Media" richtet er zusammen mit den Professoren Alexander Richter (IT University Copenhagen) und Andrea Back (Universität St. Gallen) aus; den Minitrack "Designing and Deploying Advanced Knowledge Systems" zusammen mit den Professoren Timo Käkölä (University of Jyväskylä), W. David Holford und Pierre Hadaya (beide Université du Québec à Montréal).

Kurzbeschreibung des Minitrack "Knowledge Management Disrupted - Understanding the Impacts of Social and Mobile Media":

Recent reports show that more and more companies adopt social media to support knowledge management (KM). These companies experience considerable changes in the way they communicate and collaborate internally once they have implemented related technologies and platforms. In addition, the challenges of the digital age make transforming underlying work practices and organizational structures more urgent. While the organizational capacity to deal with social media is maturing, we are far from embracing those changes on knowledge practices. A number of questions is to be addressed: What does the emergence of social and related mobile media mean for KM initiatives in companies? Do they have to and how do they rethink their processes and strategies? What are the timely relevant research fields for academia? Which of our established KM models do still hold, where do we need new models or frameworks? This minitrack calls for contributions that take KM one step further in the light of these contexts.

Kurzbeschreibung des Minitrack "Designing and Deploying Advanced Knowledge Systems":

Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this minitrack are encouraged to explore (1) how IT can enhance or facilitate the creation, retention, transfer, and application of knowledge; (2) the design, evaluation, and deployment of knowledge systems that integrate emerging technologies like social media, mashups, and ubiquitous IT; (3) project management methods and tools involved in the design and deployment of knowledge systems; and/or (4) changes in knowledge processes and structures due to the use of these technologies. We welcome papers that study IT-enabled knowledge management processes from both an intra- and inter-organizational perspective as well as papers that present an integrative view spanning the entire life-cycle of knowledge systems – from knowledge systems design through deployment to retirement.
