Knowledge and innovation play an increasingly vital role in technological advances and the transformation of society. The transformation of society form agrarian to industrial and now to information and knowledge has largely been brought about as a result of the accumulation and increasingly sophisticated deployment of knowledge.

Knowledge management looks at a wide range of issues that involves information management, knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing, organizational culture, organizational learning, communities of practice, best practices, and learning organizations.

The emergence of the knowledge based economy, the threat of globalization, and the intensification of competition have profound implications for organizational growth, adaptability, sustainability and survival. For many organizations and countries alike, innovation and knowledge management are no longer luxury items, but rather necessities and a means of sustaining economic development and competitiveness.

The Innovation and Knowledge Management series focuses on issues related to innovation and knowledge management, the role of knowledge management practices in innovation and vice versa. This could be at the level of organization or society, and will take place in diverse cultural settings.

Call for Book Proposals

Authors and editors are invited to submit book proposals that explore issues in innovation and knowledge management. In particular, book proposals that focus on knowledge management practices in local settings or diverse cultures. We also encourage book proposals that adopt interdisciplinary approaches to innovation and knowledge management. Book proposals and manuscripts submitted will be subjected to rigorous academic and commercial reviews. Areas of potential interest include but are not limited to:

·   Innovation and its impact on economy and society
·   Knowledge management practices
·   Knowledge sharing
·   Knowledge management implementations
·   Knowledge management in diverse cultural settings
·   Information systems and information management
·   Learning organization and organizational learning
·   Communities of practice
·   Innovation and technopreneurship
·   Knowledge management in the public sector
·   Knowledge management, e-government, e-business and e-commerce
·   Knowledge management and innovation in relation to strategy and leadership
·   The role of technology in knowledge management and innovation

Book proposals, which are submitted to review, should consist of a table of contents, a summary of each chapter, a brief summary of the background and qualifications of the authors or editors, and a statement of the overall aim of the book and the expected readership.
