TRACK TOPIC DESCRIPTION:

COVID-19 global crisis showed how critical is to manage intangible resources over the physical barriers imposed by social distances and work from home phenomena. Knowledge management is responsible for all the organizational processes dealing with knowledge creation, acquisition, storage, transfer, sharing, transformation, translation and usage, which imply data and information leveraging. The Great Reset challenges knowledge management with new visions and capabilities to integrate AI applications and to reconsider the dynamics between humans and the disruptive information technologies. Also, knowledge management should be able to cross the organizational borders and to manage the knowledge flows with suppliers and customers and to contribute to the dynamics of knowledge networks. Business strategies should incorporate knowledge strategies with their deliberate and emergent components.

• Knowledge dynamics models and their practical implications.

• Knowledge creation and acquisition at the individual and organizational levels.

• Knowledge sharing, knowledge hiding and hoarding.

• Knowledge translation models and their applications.
