Introduction
To succeed in the accelerating economic, social and cultural pace of the "Internet" age, organizations and enterprises must efficiently leverage their most valuable and under-leveraged resource: the intellectual capital of their highly educated, skilled and experienced human resources. The compression of communication cycles band the omnipresence of information forces organizations, institutions, and enterprises to seek a faster return on knowledge, which ages rapidly in a market place brimming with innovation. One of the most important prerequisites in achieving this return is the systematic management of the key success factor "knowledge" that previously left to manage itself somehow. Thus, next generation business component as an integral issue from a large array of fields, originating from quite different areas, such as business and organization sciences, cognitive sciences, and computer sciences.
Therefore, knowledge management has become a well known terminology. But the real challenge facing most organizations, institutions, and enterprises is that of faster innovation. Creating the system within which ideas are created and applied is more than management. It is a matter of strategy and leadership that is where knowledge innovation comes to the fore.
The knowledge innovation is considered as the creation, evolution, exchange and application of new ideas into marketable products and services for achieving the following:
- The success of the organization,
- The vitality of the nation's economy, and
- The advancement of the society.
Knowledge innovation embodies the one concept that innovation is the one competence needed for the future. It addresses the all fundamental management dimensions in the process of innovation, i. e. the creation and conversion of ideas into valuable commercial products and services, in addition to building a foundation for future sustainable growth. It recognizes that knowledge is the core component of innovation ط£آ¢أ¢â€ڑآ¬أ¢â‚¬إ“ neither technology, nor finance per se. Nurturing and managing the flow of knowledge may be the most distinctive competence of the future.
The conference acknowledges the above situation and offers a communication forum and a meeting ground for practitioners and researchers engaged in developing and deploying advanced business solutions for the management of knowledge and intellectual capital.
Therefore we seek attendance and contributions from practitioners, researchers and scholars to share their views and ideas of solutions to knowledge management problems in the era of globalization.
