14th European Conference on Knowledge Management - ECKM 2013

Innovation, intellectual capital, productive and socially meaningful knowledge activities are at the core of the development of society, businesses, and organizations. Knowledge management emerges at the edge while discussing a variety of societal and development challenges, including economy, sustainability, security, welfare, health, citizenship and democracy. The ability to accumulate, integrate and transfer knowledge into the business and social innovations becomes a challenge, which is broadly addressed by the community of KM. Academic discourse on the knowledge management theory development, as well as the practical implications on building knowledge based dynamic capabilities of firms and organizations, embedding knowledge management practices in the organizational design, accumulating collective knowledge for innovation, linking networks and communities for knowledge synergies – only few of the wide range of issues to be discussed together.

This conference aims to further that dialogue by attracting leading edge work that leverages the ECKM community's in-depth understanding of knowledge management and its impacts on innovation and societal development. Our aim is to stimulate breakthrough research streams linking innovation, dynamic growth and knowledge management.
