Date & Time: Aug 8 (Mon), 9:45 AM - 11:15 AM (Seattle time; UTC-7)
Location: Seattle Convention Center Yakima 2
Overview
Advancements in information technology (IT) can have profound impacts on the development and management of human capital. Extant research has examined how human capital in markets and organizations are shaped by increased digitization and the deployment of strategies relying on collection and analysis of big data, cloud computing, social media, Internet of Things (IoT), and the like. In knowledge-intensive settings, however, IT-enabled mechanisms have heterogeneous impacts on issues related to human capital. Although IT potentially expands capacity for collection, storage, and utilization of knowledge, some firms and individuals successfully leverage technology and information systems while others do not--or are even possibly left worse off. This symposium contributes to examining why such discrepancies may exist by shedding light on the market and organizational processes that underlie the intersection of IT and knowledge-based processes, networks, and outcomes as they relate to issues in strategic human capital.
