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=20

Knowledge Management, Organizational Memory, and Organizational Learning.=20
Due to the expansion of this field and following the huge success of the=20
mini-track at HICSS36 (23 papers were presented in 8 sessions) we have=20
expanded last year's mini-track into a cluster consisting of four=20
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,=20
organizational memory, and organizational learning. Perspective authors=20
are urged to submit a 150-word abstract for guidance and indication of=20
interest by March 31, 2003. Abstracts should be sent to the appropriate=20
mini-track co-chair or to the cluster co-chairs. Abstract submittal is=20
not required but we would really appreciate notification of the intent to=20
