ICTO 2018 TRACK 11: Knowledge management for inclusion

Short Description

Current research has put focus on how corporates and organizations invest in leveraging knowledge management, a today underpinning condition for increasing their organizational development and business value. Knowledge management tools including new technologies are adopted by individuals and teams to design, develop and use knowledge, so they can create, transfer and apply acquired knowledge. Yet, while knowledge is at the core discussion, individuals participating at knowledge management and organizations are not questioned their position on how they can participate at and directly benefit from leveraging knowledge. Defined as the “The process of improving the terms on which individuals and groups take part in society—improving the ability, opportunity, and dignity of those disadvantaged on the basis of their identity.” (World Bank, 2017), social inclusion is subject to policy environment, social, political and economic systems and is interdependent to knowledge management in these contexts.

Knowledge management for inclusion track intends to open scientific discussions on how knowledge and knowledge management can stipulate inclusion in opposition to diversity and exclusion. This year specific theme at ICTO intends to explore how knowledge management can be used for individuals’, teams’ and organizational inclusion and to which extend inclusion through knowledge management can contribute to create human based and business value.
