*** Call for Papers ***
eHR-KM
First International Workshop on Knowledge Management
and e-Human Resources Practices for Innovation
within the 6th International Conference on
Professional Knowledge Management (WM2011)
21-23 February 2011, Innsbruck
http://wm-konferenz2011.org
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is widely recognized that Knowledge Management (KM) can provide an
organization with the capability to understand customers' needs, effectively
extract new ideas from suppliers and customers alike, and turn them into
innovative products and services. Human Resource Management (HRM) plays an
equal, if not more important, role in building and sharing the right set of
employee competencies that help organizations to successfully compete. In
many
organizations, Human Resource (HR) executives and KM experts have found that
developing an IT infrastructure that allows the free exchange of employee
experience and expertise has increased the company's competitiveness. Many
companies are now aware that timely capturing their employees collective
knowledge is the only way to preserve their investments in human capital. As
a
result, some of them have invested to develop a corporate culture of sharing
knowledge and experience, capable of convincing employees to share their
expertise.
However, how to enable synergy between KM and HRM to foster open innovation
is
still a relatively new issue. Traditionally, innovation has been seen as the
responsibility of a R&D team or of a business unit. Recent experience has
shown
that innovation is largely dependent on creative individuals working in an
environment that spans multiple organizations and includes, beyond regular
employees, consultants and suppliers. Knowledge-supported HR can play a key
role
in attracting and keeping the most innovative people and partners, creating
a
culture that supports innovation.
This workshop objective is twofold. The first goal is to provide a forum to
discuss theoretical models and practical evidence on the effectiveness of
knowledge-supported HRM. The second goal is to investigate the connection
between the implementation of knowledge-supported HR and the degree of open
and
employee-driven innovation achieved by organizations.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Tools and techniques for knowledge-supported HR
o Empirical evidence of HR and KM complementarity
o Competencies analysis and profile mapping
o Capturing and sharing employees knowledge
- HR and KM practices for fostering innovation
o Support for creativity and serendipity
o Rewarding and profiling innovation
- IT support for fostering creativity
- IT support for knowledge-supported HR
o Competence Ontologies
o Interoperability of HR and KM systems
o Roadmaps
Audience
The target audience of the workshop is researchers, practitioners and
educators,
who have experience with the role of human resource in innovation
management. A
special issue of the International Journal on Knowledge and Learning (IJKL)
will
be related to the workshop providing a mean for consolidating and
disseminating
the results.
Submission of Papers
Paper abstracts should be submitted electronically to the WM2011 submissions
system http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wm2011. At least one
author of
each accepted paper is expected to participate in the conference and present
his/her work.
Accepted papers will be considered for publication in a Special Issue of the
International Journal of Knowledge and Learning (IJKL)
(http://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalCODE=ijkl), scheduled
for
the second quarter of 2011. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to
submit
extended articles (a typical size is between 7000 and 9000 words) and a
number
of 6-8 papers will be selected for the special issue after a second review
round.
