Knowledge Management Research Group

The School of Information Systems Knowledge Management (SISKM) research group is investigating a wide range of knowledge management research topics focusing on the social and organisational issues involved. We are particularly interested in how knowledge management in organisations and society can be supported by new social media such as Twitter, Yammer, Wikipedia, Facebook and Youtube. We are currently co-chairing a track on online social networking for PACIS 2011 among other exciting initiatives.

Some of our group's projects are focused on the facilitation of intra-organisational knowledge processes such as knowledge creation, knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer. Other projects investigate linking businesses in the wider community through shared knowledge and the design of new organisational forms such as communities of practice and communities of enterprise. We are also exploring whether knowledge shared in organisations and across the internet is of a high quality.

We invite industry, government and academic collaborators to contact the group members to identify valuable ways to link our knowledge management efforts and interests. We seek to identify synergies to develop new knowledge management initiatives. Anyone interested in undertaking postgraduate research in the knowledge management area is invited to contact the group Convenor to discuss possible projects at levels ranging from Honours to PhD.
