ISMICK 2010 deals with all aspects relating to the management of industrial and corporate knowledge, but will pay special attention to the theme of KNOWLEDGE & TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS, COOPERATION AND MULTICULTURAL PROBLEM. In our networked society, knowledge workers increasingly cooperate and participate across existing organizational and national boundaries. Monolithic organizations are progressively replaced by more open, adaptive and cooperative structures with stronger capacities for innovation. This raises new issues – for practice as well as research – how knowledge management strategies help organizations to survive and thrive in the networked society, and how collaborative problem solving and innovative knowledge creation is to be shaped across multinational and multicultural organizations.
Papers and contributions are invited on all aspects of industrial and corporate knowledge management (KM), including but not limited to: - Managing knowledge and technology transfer within and among organizations - Managing knowledge sharing in multicultural organizations - KM in international communities of practice and expertise - Case studies, practical experiences, and lessons learnt in KM - KM in networked organizations
