Konferenzservice Mandl

Zusammenfassung: ICKM 2009 will feature invited keynote presentations, panels on topical issues on management, technology, business, and public policy, refereed paper presentations on emerging and continuing business and research issues, and tutorials and workshops on new areas of knowledge management. The theme of ICKM 2009 is "Managing Knowledge for Global and Collaborative Innovations". Finding effective ways of collaboration is one of the most challenging tasks for individuals and organisations faced with global, interconnected and complex issues. Collaboration is more than being connected through the internet and various forms of professional, business and social networks and alliances. Collaboration through information and communication technologies also requires us to "prepare the mind" for collaboration - many of our traditional business models, public organisations and education systems are not yet ready for new decision-making, problem-solving and collaboration that goes beyond organisational and mindset boundaries. Concepts like "open innovation", "value networks", "wisdom of crowds" are some of the ideas that influence our thinking on collaboration and information sharing.
