  CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS


  Special Issue


  Managing Knowledge Within and Across Geographic Borders: The Role of
  Culture


  Knowledge and Process Management

A Special Issue of Knowledge and Process Management 
(http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jhome/6242) on Managing 
Knowledge Within and Across Geographic Borders: The Role of Culture has 
been approved.
Knowledge management as a competitive capability continues to receive 
resounding interest from both practitioner and academic circles. The 
current literature in knowledge management can be described as immature, 
yet budding. One question that remains unanswered is the role of culture 
in knowledge management efforts. Culture, at the nationalistic, 
organizational, or even unit (also known as team or workgroup) and 
individualistic (also known as personality) level plays a significant 
role as an enhancer or suppressor of knowledge management programs.
The goal of this special issue is to encourage contributions from both 
scholars and practitioners, and ideally papers stemming from 
collaborative engagements between the scholarly and practitioner 
community, on the role of culture in global knowledge management 
agendas. We seek papers that go beyond the simple taxonomical approach 
to culture at the national level. For instance, we invite papers that 
question the relevance of national culture in an increasing global and 
borderless (or bordered) world. We would welcome papers that examine the 
differences or similarities across cultural m easures (at any level of 
analysis) and their level of significance in promoting or hampering 
knowledge creation and transfer efforts. Papers that study cultural 
issues in facilitating knowledge transfer among global teams are 
definitely of interest. In addition, papers that study cultural 
difference within a nation’s borders and their impacts on moving 
knowledge within the country’s borders are also of interest (e.g. the 
differences between cultures in Boston, MA and that of San Jose, CA or 
Omaha, NE).
We welcome both conceptual and empirical papers. Specific topics of 
interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Culture as an enabler of knowledge management
· Re-definition of the role of culture in knowledge management research
· Culture as an enhancer (or suppressor) of knowledge transfer between 
countries.
· Culture as an enhancer (or suppressor) of knowledge transfer within 
regions in a country
· Cultural issues in global knowledge-intensive teams
· Cultural issues in global project management
· Organizational cultural issues in collaborative inter-organizationa l 
alliances
· Cultural issues in managing knowledge in the networked economy
· Case studies of cross-cultural management failures in 
knowledge-intensive organizations
· Managing Culture in 2015 and beyond – the futuristic perspective
