Mini Track Chair:
The emergence of knowledge economy and knowledge-based organizations created the necessary conditions for the consolidation of knowledge management, as a new managerial process able to deal with knowledge workers and knowledge processes. Knowledge management does not replace the classical management, but brings a new type of processes. These processes are distinguished from the industrial processes based on tangible and limited resources, since they operate with intangible resources like data, information, knowledge, theories, images, brands, and intellectual properties. These intangible resources cannot be seen, cannot be touched and as a consequence they cannot be measured in the same way like tangible resources. There is a significant shift from the logic based on linearity and tangibility to the logic based on nonlinearity and intangibility. Knowledge management is the management of organizational knowledge dynamics which is composed of processes of knowledge creation, acquisition, sharing, retrieving, transferring, loosing and embedding into products and services.
