Hello
This is a first call
for papers for the 14th European
Conference on Knowledge Management - ECKM
2013 being held at
Kaunas
University of Technology, Kaunas, Lithuania on 5-6 September 2013.
This call will close on 14th February 2013.
The world economy in which we
are living poses challenges that lead to a realization that 'more of the same'
will be difficult to sustain. This provides an illustration that, in order to
create new or modified knowledge practices, strengthen customer relationships
and thus positively influence customer satisfaction, organizations must be
flexible in configuring (combining) knowledge and knowledge structures in a way
that is appropriate for delivering value to the customer. It must
simultaneously develop effective strategies for updating the knowledge of its
staff members necessary for underpinning the creation and delivery of
appropriate knowledge services. Thus, unlearning (forgetting) becomes a
critical means for organizational success. The ECKM community of scholars has
already initiated dialogue that links its particular strengths to innovation
issues. This conference aims to further that dialogue by attracting leading
edge work that leverages the ECKM community's in-depth understanding of
learning and unlearning to better understand knowledge management. Our aim is
to stimulate breakthrough research streams linking learning, unlearning and
knowledge management.
Continuing the success of the
ECKM conference series since 2000, the 2013 conference will provide an
international communication forum bringing together academia and industry for
discussing the progress made and addressing the challenges faced by continuous
learning in knowledge-intensive organizations.
