Panel Description
We are living in fascinating and uncertain times. New paradigms are sweeping the society and the business environment. Organizations are moving from their tangible assets to intangible ones based on knowledge and information systems (IS). The economy is transitioning from boom to bust in a matter of a few short months. The emergence of the global economy on one hand, and the surfacing of new economic powers in transition on the other hand; the need to resolve both the environmental and human poverty crisis simultaneously, and the increased importance of global electronic networks and communications at the same time as face to face contact and regional clustering is gaining importance, and creating a new landscape for knowledge management and business strategies.
Knowledge management itself, as a managerial practice, is also transitioning from being IS driven to being driven by the human-IS interaction, and seen as a socio-technical phenomenon. The shrinking half life of knowledge and product life cycle is adding pressure on business and knowledge management strategists. Some of the questions that can be added are: can the same set of tools or strategies serve SMEs and large corporations? Service oriented and manufacturing companies? Companies for profit, not for profit organizations, and/ or governmental agencies? Can they (the tools and strategies) satisfy internal and external users? Are the needs of different generations of users in different economics different?
This panel will discuss these (or other/additional) challenges and propose avenues of how KM practitioners and academics should respond.
