Call For Papers
THE 8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT 12-14 September 2011, Jordan
The International Conference on Knowledge Management (ICKM) provides a forum for researchers and practitioners from all over the world to discuss and exchange ideas concerning theoretical and practical aspects of Knowledge Management. Since the first ICKM was held in Singapore in 2004, subsequent conferences have been held in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA (2005); Greenwich, London, UK (2006); Vienna, Austria (2007); Columbus, Ohio, USA (2008); Hong Kong, SAR (2009); and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA (2010). ICKM 2011 will take place from 12-14 September in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The conference will be hosted by the Knowledge Core Center for Consultation and Studies. The theme of ICKM 2011 is "Knowledge Management Infrastructure: a Pre-requisite for Succeeding in the Changing World of Knowledge". The conference will focus on the many issues which we may directly or indirectly associate with knowledge management infrastructure, ranging from such tangible elements as IT, budgets and measures to 'softer' factors such as organizational culture and knowledge facilitation.

ICKM provides a fantastic annual opportunity for researchers, practitioners, innovators, consultants, and academics to get together and exchange ideas and insights, as well as contribute to the advancement of knowledge management as a discipline and practice.      The conference encourages a submission of high-quality research papers, case studies, country reports, posters and oral presentations in KM and its related areas. Specific topics  of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Knowledge Leadership
• Knowledge Economy
• Knowledge Societies and Knowledge Cities
• Knowledge Cultures and Structures in Knowledge Intensive Organizations
• Knowledge Discovery in Human and Intellectual Capital
• Failure Stories of Knowledge Management Practices
• Dynamic Knowledge Systems
