Research into knowledge management, organizational memories, and
organizational learning has been affected by investigations such as
implementation aspects, system developments, or knowledge flows during a
number of years. Therefore, a high maturity level of knowledge management
research has been achieved. However, organizational knowledge management
initiatives are more and more faced with budget cuts and justification
demands due to intense competition in today’s business environments. The
influences of the rapid pace of globalization and of the ongoing
liberalization of national and international markets lead to the emergence
of increased pressure on existing companies. Project managers of knowledge
management initiatives like Chief Knowledge Officers need to justify their
budgets and thus are in need of qualitative and quantitative evidence of
the initiatives’ success. This minitrack explores research into strategies,
methodologies, and stories that relate to measure this success. In
addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance
measurements that define the current state of research in measuring
knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning
success.
Possible Paper Topics:
• Defining knowledge management and organizational memory success
• Case studies of knowledge management and organizational memory
success and performance measurements
• Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge
management/organizational memory systems
• Benchmarking of knowledge management/organizational memory
initiatives
• Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge management and/or
organizational memory systems
• Methodologies and processes for measuring knowledge management and/or
organizational memory success and performance
• Impact of knowledge management strategy, organization, systems,
culture, and other issues on knowledge management/organizational memory
success
• Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to knowledge
management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge and
organizational memory use
• Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational
learning metrics
• Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational
learning success factors and key performance indicators
