ISMICK 2010  -  Preliminary Call for Papers

13th International Symposium on the Management of Industrial and Corporate Knowledge
KNOWLEDGE & TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS, COOPERATION AND MULTICULTURAL PROBLEMS
October 2010 – University of Shanghai – Shanghai, China

————————————————————————————————————–

Over more than 15 years Knowledge Management has been explored and promoted both in private organizations and in public administration. Today, the key role of knowledge  in socio-economic development and innovation is universally acknowledged, and knowledge management has gradually matured into a serious discipline.
Since 1993, ISMICK conference meetings are yearly held as working symposia. In the ISMICK meetings we actively seek to combine and discuss ongoing research, professional  practice, and consultancy perspectives aimed at capitalizing on knowledge processes and assets. The meeting attracts and mixes an international group of professional people  from academia, business, and consulting firms, engaging in lively discussions confronting theory and practice.  ISMICK has started as a series of conferences that were  organized by the IIIA (Institut International pour l’Intelligence Artificielle, Compiègne, France).  Since 2009, it became an important activity of the IEEE SMC Technical Committee  on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD). The official language is English.

ISMICK 2010 deals with all aspects relating to the management of industrial and corporate knowledge, but will pay special attention to the theme of KNOWLEDGE & TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS, COOPERATION AND MULTICULTURAL PROBLEM. In our networked society, knowledge workers increasingly cooperate and participate across existing organizational and national boundaries. Monolithic organizations are progressively replaced by more open, adaptive and cooperative structures with stronger capacities for innovation. This raises new issues – for practice as well as research – how knowledge management strategies help organizations survive and thrive in the networked society, and how collaborative problem solving and innovative knowledge creation is to be shaped across multinational and multicultural organizations.
Papers and contributions are invited on all aspects of industrial and corporate knowledge management (KM), including but not limited to:

• Managing knowledge and technology transfer within and among organizations
• Managing knowledge sharing in multicultural organizations
• KM in international communities of practice and expertise
• Case studies, practical experiences, and lessons learnt in KM
• KM in networked organizations

Keynote Program: The ISMICK 2010 Symposium will include an interesting program of invited talks related to knowledge and technology transfer in the context of intercultural organizations
