ECKM 2008
9th European Conference on
Knowledge Management
Southampton Solent University, Southampton, UK
4-5 September 2008
Hello
This is the final call for papers
for the 9th European Conference on Knowledge Management,
This will be held at Southampton
Solent University, Southampton, UK, on the 4-5th September 2008.
A main implication of
the knowledge economy is that the only way to prosperity is to make learning
and knowledge creation of prime relevance. Issues of knowledge creation, use
and transfer and innovation competencies building have moved to the forefront
of attention in corporate competitive strategy and in economic, social and
industrial policy as well. Competing worldwide demands individual and
organisational creativity, high level skills and capabilities and adaptive and
innovative learning organisations and institutions. To keep abreast of the
volatile and changing environment organisations, countries and regions need to
develop a better understanding of how knowledge and intellectual capital
deliver effective business processes and high value goods and services. In
particular, they have to develop awareness of and mechanisms to manage the
risks that are inherent to this new context and improved methods to link IC and
KM to the firm’s future streams of cash flows and GDP growth.
ECKM 2008 provides an
opportunity for academics and practitioners from Europe and elsewhere who are
involved in the study; management, development and implementation of knowledge
management initiatives to come together and exchange ideas.
