The seminar on Professional Knowledge Management provides a broad integrative overview of organizational, cultural, social and technical aspects on Knowledge Management. Focus of the seminar is bringing together different research disciplines and sharing experiences gained in the different areas where knowledge management is being applied.This seminar is an
opportunity for all the practitioners, academicians, students and research scholars in the fields of business management, information technology and the operations management to share their experiences and learn from each other the realities and the challenges in the conceptualization, execution, and evaluation of the systems and processes of knowledge management.
The main purpose of such gathering of professionals is to learn aspects of the knowledge management as a process on one hand and the knowledge managers – the people side of the knowledge management on the other. Two decades of formalization of knowledge management in organizations
thriving in the globalized business environment have sufficiently generated literature that could provide platform for focused discussions about the concepts, controversies and application issues by the professionals. The focus of this seminar is on the process (including knowledge, operations and IT) and the people side of knowledge management (including the HR implications).
