THEME: Organizations of different kinds, from structured companies up to
social networks or virtual communities, are becoming increasingly aware
of the need to collect, organize, mobilize, increase, in sum manage,
expertise and knowledge which characterize their ability to stay alive,
adapt and evolve in a turbulent context. Knowledge Management (KM) is a
keyword under which different organizational and technological
approaches to answer this need are referred to. From the beginning of
the KM discourse, the CSCW community has taken a critical stance both in
asking for applied research in the practices of real organizations and
relating technological and organizational innovations. The Special Issue
aims to collect papers reporting on ethnographically-based or
field-based experiences that are confronted with real situations and
highlight problems, requirements and technical solutions that are
derived from those experiences by taking into account the following
perspectives:
- organizational strategies to enact and promote KM within
organizations, and their relation with ICT technology
- various kinds of knowledge, application domains, organizational
structures, and their implication on KM
- methods and approaches for the design of KM solutions
- techniques and technologies for a sustainable KM (CSCW-based
approaches, web-based approaches, etc.)
- critical success factors for KM socio-technical solutions
- evaluation of KM applications in real situations
- lessons-learned in each phase of the KM application life-cycle, from
conception up to continuous adaptation
- critical comparison of technologies, field studies and strategies in KM
- any other perspective contributing to a better understanding of KM in
action
