		Tatiana A. Gavrilova: Holding IFKAD 2017 at the Graduate School of Management SPbSU marks a new stage in the School's development in terms of knowledge dissemination and provides a valuable platform for the discussion of knowledge management issues.
		Giovanni Schiuma This is a perfect location for the IFKAD’s community to gather and discuss a key question: What are the key aspects of knowledge management in the 21st century? What is the role of three fundamental managerial features and trends in knowledge management and organizational value creation?  The mission of IFKAD is to develop research and scientific conversations, contribute to theory-building and managerial practice in the area of knowledge management, and emphasize the role of knowledge as the source of value creation in organizations. Our view is that all organizations primarily operate in the knowledge-related business, and that their future organizational sustainability and value creation competence depend on their capacity to manage knowledge.
