CALL FOR PAPERS FOR the Knowledge Management, Organizational Memory, and
Organizational Learning Cluster
Part of the Organizational Systems and Technology Track
at the Thirty-seventh Annual
HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES
on the Big Island of Hawaii
January 5 - 8, 2004
Additional detail on the web site: http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu
The Knowledge Management, Organizational Memory, and Organizational Learning
Cluster is the continuation of the ten-year running mini-track on Knowledge
Management, Organizational Memory, and Organizational Learning. Due
to the expansion of this field and following the huge success of the mini-track
at HICSS36 (23 papers were presented in 8 sessions) we have expanded last
year's mini-track into a cluster consisting of four mini-tracks. This
Call for Papers is soliciting contributions for all four of the mini-tracks
in the cluster from all areas of knowledge management, organizational memory,
and organizational learning. Perspective authors are urged to submit
a 150-word abstract for guidance and indication of interest by March 31,
2003. Abstracts should be sent to the appropriate mini-track co-chair
or to the cluster co-chairs. Abstract submittal is not required but
we would really appreciate notification of the intent to submit by March
31, 2003 so that we can plan for reviewers and sessions. Cluster
Co-chairs are:

Descriptions of the mini-tracks with contacts are:
KM/OM/OL Foundations - KM/OM Discovery to Representation

Knowledge discovery methods increase transparency of knowledge in organizations
and support users finding relevant knowledge. Techniques explored in this
track could help to reveal the dynamics of a knowledge domain by utilizing
a wide variety of techniques involving visual thinking, visual discovery,
visual exploration, and visual analysis. This mini-track looks at the theoretical
foundations of knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational
learning from Knowledge Discovery to Knowledge Representation. Potential
topics include:
· Definitions of knowledge, knowledge management, organizational memory,
organizational learning
· Cognitive theories of knowledge management and organizational memory
· Relationships between knowledge, knowledge management, organizational
memory, and organizational learning
· Basic theories associated with knowledge creation, knowledge management,
organizational memory, and organizational learning
· Evaluation of knowledge discovery methods
· Exploring relationships among knowledge discovery methods
· Developing processes and systems for discovering knowledge
· Using semantic networks, topic maps, and other technologies to implement
knowledge discovery methods
· Developing processes and systems for visualizing knowledge
· Empirical studies of knowledge and information visualization techniques
· Visualization of abstract knowledge and information structures
· Mapping of knowledge structures
· Historical, sociological, or philosophical approaches
· Developing processes and systems for expertise location and skill management
· Organizational culture impacts on knowledge discovery
Knowledge Flows: Knowledge transfer, sharing and exchange in organizations
Joe Brooks, Western Connecticut State University, brooksj@wcsu.edu
K.D. Joshi, Washington State University, joshi@wsu.edu
Knowledge flows occur between individuals, among groups of individuals,
and between organizations. This mini-track focuses on examining the nature
and role of knowledge flows (e.g., knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing)
among entities. Technical, managerial, behavioral, organizational, and
economic perspectives on knowledge flows are encouraged. Potential topics
include:
· Characterizing the nature of knowledge flows.
· Design of information and communication systems that facilitate knowledge
transfer and sharing.
· Technical challenges and solutions in the development and implementation
of systems that facilitate knowledge flows.
· Managerial and organizational challenges and solutions in institutionalization
and implementation of processes and activities that facilitate knowledge
flows.
· Intra and inter-organizational processes for effective leverage of knowledge
through knowledge transfer and sharing.
· Enablers and inhibitors of knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer behaviors.
· Effects of national, professional, and organizational cultures on knowledge
transfer and knowledge sharing.
· Knowledge transfer and sharing behaviors within emergent organizational
forms such as virtual communities.
· Role of information and communication technologies in managing knowledge
flows.
· Knowledge reuse in organizations.
· Organizational and economic incentive structures for knowledge sharing
and use.
· Knowledge acquisition and transfer processes
· Knowledge transfer enablers
· Organizational culture affects on knowledge transfer
Implementing KM/OM: Building and Recognizing Knowledge Cultures and Other
Issues

Research into successful knowledge management and organizational learning
implementation indicates that these initiatives necessitate a sound understanding
of organizational culture and relationships, human social interactions,
and communication. To create learning organization requires a cultural
shift in both individuals and organizations. Before successful information
systems can be implemented to support knowledge management and organizational
learning in an organization, appropriate cultural foundations must be put
in place. This may necessitate cultural change initiatives. This mini-track
explores research into strategies and stories that relate to these cultural
initiatives. In addition, the track will be used to explore the identifying
the bodies of knowledge that define the current state of research in knowledge
management, organizational memory, and organizational learning. Potential
topics include:
· Case studies of knowledge management and organizational memory systems
· Effectiveness of knowledge management/organizational memory systems
· Other issues affecting the design, construction, implementation, and
use of knowledge management/organizational memory systems
· Knowledge management/organizational memory systems for small and medium
enterprises
· Methodologies and processes for developing Knowledge Management and/or
Organizational Memory Systems
· Global issues in knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational
learning
· Knowledge management strategy
· Organizational effectiveness due to knowledge management/organizational
memory/ organizational learning and knowledge and organizational memory
use
· Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning
metrics
KM/OM/OL Systems and Technologies

Timo Käkölä, University of Jyväskylä, timokk@cc.jyu.fi
Charles Milligan, StorageTek,, MilliCA@LOUISVILLE.STORTEK.COM
This sub-mini-track looks at technical issues and tools for building and
supporting knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational
learning systems. Potential topics include:
· Tools and technologies for developing KM/OM/OL oriented Systems
· Using the Internet, digital documents, XML, and other technologies to
implement knowledge management and organizational memory systems
· Issues related to the capture, storage, search, retrieval, and use of
knowledge and organizational memory
· Development and use of taxonomies and ontologies
· Knowledge and Topic maps
· Organizational issues impacting the design, construction, implementation,
and use of knowledge management/organizational memory systems
· Development and implementation of Knowledge networks
