14th International Conference On Knowledge Management In Organisations


Theme: The synergistic role of knowledge management in organisations

Call for Papers

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.

Title: "Digital technologies and the Governance of Innovation Ecosystems."


Abstract

Digital technologies have the power to disrupt many if not all industries. New business models are vital to potentially benefit from these technologies and innovation ecosystems have to be developed to realize these business models. In such ecosystems firms depend on one another to collectively provide new ideas and technologies and create value for customers. Relatively little is known about the effectiveness of the structure and governance of such ecosystems. I will show using several examples from different industries how digital technologies force incumbents to set up ecosystems and how they can be effectively structured and managed.

Title: "Exploring and imaging the future for educational technology."


Abstract

By allowing the long-term influence of current trends to be considered and providing an opportunity to reflect on the present and imagine the future, futures thinking provokes discussion on the directions that education might take when faced with challenges and uncertainty(Schuck, Aubusson, Burden & Brindley, 2018). More than ever, the world is confronted with uncertainty and this is particularly evident in the field of educational technology, where technological change can often outstrip the ability of educators to understand, consider and apply its implications for teaching and learning.

This presentation will explore and explain the use of futures thinking methodologies to examine and critique possible drivers of change in the field of educational technology. It will consider how futures tools have been used in a number of recent international research projects focused around the exploitation of mobile, ubiquitous and smart technologies (Kearney, Burden and Schuck, 2019) and will illustrate how this methodology could be used more widely to address the kind of education technology challenges that this conference addresses.

Biography

Dr. Kevin Burden is Professor of Digital Education in the Faculty of Arts, Cultures and Education (FACE) at the University of Hull where he leads a team investigating the impact and pedagogical potential of digital technologies on learning and in education more generally. His research area explores the affordances of mobile and pervasive computing with a particular focus on teacher education and professional learning. Along with colleagues at the University of Technology, Sydney and Cambridge University (UK) he has pioneered the use of Futures Thinking as a methodological approach to thinking about technological challenges and drivers and the various futures these may afford society. He is currently leading several international research projects focusing on the use of mobile technologies in schools and colleges and recently completed a major Erasmus+ project to create a mobile learning toolkit for teacher educators (www.mobileleanringtoolkit.com). He is a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the University of Technology, Sydney and has previously been invited to Hong Kong University and the University of Macau. Kevin has attracted over £1.5m in competitive grants and awards and was made a National Teaching Fellow by the UK Higher Education Academy (HEA) for his work in supporting students and staff in the innovative use of digital technologies. He is the author of over fifty peer-reviewed articles, chapters and publications and, along with colleagues at UTS and the University of Cambridge he has recently co-authored the book ‘Uncertainty in Teacher Education Futures: Scenarios, Politics and STEM’ (http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9789811082450)

Tutorials

T01. Introduction to Conceptual Engineering.

Speaker: Manuel Gustavo, University of Barcelona (Spain)

Abstract: We use concepts all the time to manage knowledge in organizations. The quality of our conceptual apparatus thereby crucially determines the quality of our knowledge management, so that: the better our concepts are, the better our knowledge manage- ment will be. Conceptual engineering is the new research program in philosophy that means to provide a method to assess and improve any of our concepts working as such cognitive devices—that is, for the identification of conceptual deficiencies and the elaboration of correlated ameliorative strategies. The purpose of the tutorial ‘Intro- duction to Conceptual Engineering (ICE)’ is to provide a systematic overview of the research program of conceptual engineering, with a focus on its foundational issues and methodological framework. Given the ubiquity of conceptual deficiencies in our knowledge resources, the methodological needs in terms of strategies for facing con- ceptual challenges is of the most urgent relevance for optimally managing knowledge in organizations. The ICE Tutorial will contribute to satisfying these needs and help in solving the correlative problems by providing the audience with a widely applicable ready-to-use method for the cognitive optimization of our conceptual apparatuses.


T02. How to recognize and harness the power of negative emotions in STEM learning.

Speaker: Jeremiah Sullins, Harding University (U.S.A.).

Abstract: For most of the 20th century, an empirical investigation of emotions was neglected. Adding to the body of literature on negative emotions (i.e., confusion and shame), this tutorial will present our experiences exploring: 1) systematic and empirically based methods of inducing one specific self-conscious emotion (shame) to get a better understanding of who and why learners experience shame in an educational context 2) the impact that academic shame has on the learning of complex science topics with the hope that we can better understand students’ experiences of this emotion 3) what role does confusion play in the learning of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) content? 4) which methods of confusion induction are most beneficial for deep learning? and 5) the unique linguistic markers that are associated with student experiences of confusion and academic shame. Immediate applications for education will be discussed.


T03. Promoting the employability of PhDs in Organizations.

Speaker: Stefania Marrara, Antonia Azzini, Amir Topalovi, Consorzio per il Trasferimento Tecnologico C2T (Italy)

Abstract: Find Your Doctor (FYD) is the first Job-placement agency in Italy dedicated to PhDs who are leaving the Academia to continue their professional path in compa- nies and organizations. The mission of FYD is to outline the value of the research background as an asset for the development of companies and society as a whole. In this tutorial we provide a survey of the activities that European Organizations are currently proposing to promote PhDs’ careers. Moreover a description of the techniques that are currently employed in recruitment software is presented.


T04. Adapting QR Code Technology to Improve Digital Natives Learning Experience.

Speaker: Mohamad Firdaus Che Abdul Rani and Vinothini Kasinathan, Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (Malaysia)

Abstract: QR Code technology provides a lot of benefits for the techno-literate educator. Besides the fact that most students own smart phones that can read QR Code in seconds, they also often have access to laptops in their educational institution or even at home. Students will not be disturbed by a technology that they have probably used outside educational institution already. On the contrary, they are likely to get excited at the prospect of opening encoded information at the click of a button after solved some questions. QR Code can be used to engage “Digital Native” audience by providing access to thepresentation online resources, get instant feedback and conduct question and answer (Q & A) session during the learning event. These kind of activities are the most common component of learning event and QR Code can improve audience commitment and possibly create better interactions between the presenter and the audience. In this tutorial, we will discuss the usage of QR Code in daily life and how it can be used inside and outside classroom, and design the QR Code based learning contents for non- IT-techno-literate educator.

Zamora

Zamora is located in the northwest of Spain, north of Salamanca and very close to the border with Portugal. Its impressive old town is outstanding, and it was declared a historical-artistic quarter in 1973. The city is located on the banks of the Duero River and has fortified parts which add to its charm. 

Zamora is known for its Romanesque buildings. It has more than twenty temples and 14 churches in the historic centre, making it the city with the largest number of Romanesque temples in Europe. The most noteworthy features of this heritage are the impressive cathedral (whose dome is decorated with scales), the castle, the walls, the bridge and two palaces. This is an ideal place for anyone who wants to learn about the history of Romanesque architecture. Along with these architectural wonders, we can find a set of modern buildings that make an interesting contrast.

The Easter celebration in Zamora had been proclaimed a Fiesta of International Tourist Interest and visitants are guaranteed to have an enjoyable week.

An interesting fact: Zamora was the first city in the world with global WiFi coverage, through the "Zamora Hot City" project.

 

Points of Interest in the City:

  • Puerta de Doña Urraca (Doña Urraca Gateway):  The mediaeval walls of Zamora comprise three enclosures which had been built successively, century after another (11th-13th c.). The gateway of San Bartolomé (–also called Zambranos or Doña Urraca) belongs to the last period (13th century).
  • Iglesia de Santo Tomé (Church of Saint Tomé): It was originally the church of an old monastery. The only element remaining from the original Romanesque structure is the sanctuary, as the rest of the building was thoroughly refurbished in the 17th and 18th centuries.
  • Palacio de los Condes de Alba y aliste (Palace of the Counts of Alba and Aliste – Parador Hotel): One of the most surprising aspects of this palatial residence is the contrast between the sober exterior and the elegant and refined silhouette of the interior courtyard.
  • Iglesia de Santa María la Nueva (Santa María la Nueva church).
  • Murallas de Zamora (Zamora City Walls): Zamora was known as the “bien cercada” (excellently walled). This is due to its triple layer walls around the town converting it into an important strategic point on the banks of the Duero. The first wall layer is the most important.
  • Iglesia de Santiago del Burgo (Church of Santiago del Burgo): It has a raised platform, a central nave and two aisles which are divided into four horizontal sections and a rectangular sanctuary. Built in the XII century with three symmetric doors.
  • Palacio de los Momos ( The Momos Palace): It dates back to the late 15th century, and its architectural style displays features of transition from the late Gothic to the Renaissance architecture. Its contruction was ordered by Commander of Peñausende, Pedro of Ledesma, and was originally known as the 'Casa de Sanabria'. It is currently the Palace of Justice.
  • Museo Provincial de Zamora (Zamora Provincial Museum): The museum is housed in the Cordón Palace, a 16th-century building located in the old quarter of Zamora. It is divided into two different sections. The archaeological section, contains artifacts dating from prehistoric times to the Modern Age. The fine arts section has an important collection of sculptures and paintings dating from the 14th to the 20th century. There is also a room on the history of the city of Zamora.

Urban Transportation

To get around the city of Zamora, we recommend that you go by foot since the historical centre is very close to the Polytechnic School of Zamora (where the congress takes place).
