Recently, businesses that could capture the knowledge embedded in their
organization would own the future. Organizations that isolate knowledge
management risk losing its benefits. Companies have attempted a variety of
efforts that go under the name of knowledge management. Knowledge
Management (KM) helps organizations identify, select, organize, disseminate,
and transfer knowledge and expertise that typically reside within the organization
in an unstructured manner. Managing knowledge enables effective business
problem solving, dynamic learning, strategic planning, and decision making.
In order to support KM practices, many researchers have emphasized
innovative systems of managing knowledge. Among them, Business intelligence
(BI) refers to technologies, applications, and practices for the collection,
integration, analysis, and presentation of business knowledge. The primary
purpose of BI is to support better business decision making. BI systems provide
historical, current, and predictive views of business operations, most often using
data that has been gathered into a data warehouse or a data mart and
occasionally working from operational data.
It is strongly believed that KM and BI would be able to sharpen important
issues in the field of MCDM fields. In order to promote business intelligence and
knowledge management research, we organize a special workshop dedicated to
the topic of ¡¡ãKnowledge Management and Business Intelligence¡¡À under the 20th
International Conference on Multiple Criteria Decision Making
(http://www.mcdm2009.cn/default.html). This workshop aims to provide
researchers and practitioners an opportunity to share the most recent advances in
the field of knowledge management and business intelligence. Papers with
analytical, modeling, or empirical approaches and practices are preferable. Topics

l Knowledge Management
n Knowledge management strategy and measurement
