KMO 2019 - 14th International Conference On Knowledge Management In Organisations

The conference is preceded by one day of free tutorials for participants who wish to learn state of the art of research relating to the topics of KMO and LTEC. The tutorials will be held on the15th July, 2019. The conference itself commences on the 16th July, 2019.
Knowledge has been identified as a key organizational resource for generating competitive advantage over other firms. It isthe transformative catalyst that will get us into the knowledge age. The world is undergoing constant technological and knowledge revolutions. . Technologies such as big data, Internet of Thing (IOT), Artificial intelligence (AI) and Blockchain are increasingly transforming the way we live and work.
Knowledge management (KM) refers to how best an organisation leverages its knowledge internally and externally. In this age of big data, analytics, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IOT), blockchain, machine learning and cognitive computing, knowledge management has synergistic roles that can be played. For example, knowledge management can serve a fundamental role in managing the governance of big data and resulting analytics. Knowledge management is closely linked to AI and machine learning in terms of knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation and knowledge generation. In addition, knowledge management is a close cousin with project management and risk management.
There are many other new trends such as the use of social media for Knowledge Management. Employees in organisations need to access the organisation's knowledge management system (KMS) while they're on the go. Consequently, mobile technology and KM software will soon be inseparable.
Another role of Knowledge management is to create, build and maintain competitive advantage through utilization of knowledge and through collaboration practices in innovation. KM systems should allow for external integration so that internal and external parties can share information more easily. Collaboration between individuals, teams, divisions, and organisations is essential and Organisations must develop the skills and culture that enable high-value collaboration. Besides collaboration, there are the issues of trust and cultures.
Knowledge Management (KM) is also facing a challenging time with the advance of big data and Internet of Things (IOT) as well as cognitive learning. There are issues between innovation, technology and knowledge management. They are not only limited to technology, but also the integration of business strategy and process, organisational community and culture, expertise and technology. To do this requires that we look into the new emerging discipline of service science especially service dominant logic. Co-creation of value is essential to provide services and products that will provide value to users.
To effectively manage knowledge in organisations; there are many challenges that need to be addressed.
KMO 2019 conference aims to bring together leading academic researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research from all aspects of Knowledge Management challenges. It also provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss their most recent work, trends, innovation and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Knowledge Management in Organisations.
The conference welcomes contributions from researchers and scholars to contribute to original and unpublished results of conceptual, constructive, empirical, experimental, or theoretical work in all areas of Knowledge Management in organisations at the conference. The conference solicits contributions of full papers that address themes and topics of the conference. We are also interested in case studies that demonstrate how KM research strategies have been applied and the lessons learned. Case studies and work-in-progress/posters are welcomed. PhD Research, proposals for roundtable discussions, non-academic contributions and product demonstrations based on the main themes are also invited.
