Knowledge Management
Track of
2000 Information Resources Management Association International ConferenceMay 21-24, 2000
at Anchorage Hilton Hotel
Anchorage, Alaska, USA
Track Chair: Yogesh Malhotra, Ph.D.
TRACK COVERAGE
Despite variations in answers to the question: "What is Knowledge Management?," there seems to be emerging consensus on some common issues. First, Knowledge Management has much wider implications than data management, information management and systems management. Second, success of Knowledge Management initiatives will depend not only on information technologies and computer-based systems, but also related organizational, social, behavioral and cultural issues. Third, increasingly, assessment of Knowledge Management will be linked to the assessment of performance of intangible and intellectual assets that form the fabric of 'bit-based' e-businesses in contrast to 'atom-based' brick-and-mortar organizations. Fourth, despite differences in nation states separated by continental boundaries, Knowledge Management is becoming a shared concern across developed, developing and underdeveloped economies. Fifth, Knowledge Management is not only relevant for the IPO-driven dot.com e-businesses, but also equally relevant for non-profit and public sector organizations as well as national and regional governments of the world. Finally, the enterprise of higher education and lifelong learning is being redefined by emerging advances in information technologies, and global redefinition, consolidation and aggregation of knowledge markets and knowledge channels. Regardless of the position one may have on any of these issues, this seems to be an opportune moment for understanding and defining these issues and the impact they would have on the worlds of business, information systems practice and information systems academia.

Dining and shopping are easy with more than 300 places to eat and drink, plus hundreds of shops and dozens of enclosed malls including some factory outlets.
