The Future Paths of Knowledge Management Symposium and Workshop Series aims to reflect on new ideas to re-specify the future role of Knowledge Management research and practice in a changing and increasingly dynamic world.
The series is organized by the Knowledge Management Group at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), in collaboration with the Organizing Cognition in Knowing Organizations Research Group (OCKO) at the University of Vienna, also known as Community of Practice on Knowledge and Learning.
Occasionally it is held in association with mini-tracks organized in conjunction with larger conferences like the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS; Knowledge, Innovation, and Entrepreneurial Systems track) or the European Conference on Knowledge Management (ECKM).
