Issues to be discussed:

This panel is aimed at discussing the new methods, tools and practices in KM.  Despite the fact that KM is actively discussed for more than 20 years among academics and practitioners of management, the effect of business investment in KM is insufficient. The panel  will examine how knowledge management (KM) strategies and practices shape the results of the firms operating in emerging markets (EM):

• How do emerging markets' firms manage this asset?
• What KM strategies and practices are most commonly used by the firms operating in emergent markets?
• What KM practices or their bundles proved to work best in this context?
• Which forms of knowledge codification and structuring are most effective?
• To what extent international "best practices" in KM are applicable and efficient in the emerging markets' context?
• How do emerging markets' firms balance between engaging in open innovation processes and retaining control of their proprietary knowledge (especially in the light of weak intellectual property rights reinforcement systems)?

 

The Panel Discussion will take place at 14.15-15.00 at 109, Sankt-Peterburgskoye Shosse, Conference Hall, Rm. 1301.

The Panel Discussion working language is English.
