Knowledge has been described as a critical competitive asset for organizations. The most important strategy in business is converting knowledge into intellectual capital and leveraging it for competitive advantage. The International conference on Knowledge Management in Organizations (KMO) provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of research on information and knowledge management, as well as to shed light on recent advances on data and knowledge bases. The aim of the conference is to identify challenging problems facing the development of future knowledge management systems, and to shape future directions of research by soliciting and reviewing high quality, applied and theoretical research findings. This conference calls for papers that offer provocative, insightful, and novel ways of viewing KM from a wide variety of perspectives, especially regarding new trends in knowledge management.

Venue
Slovenia is a small, beautiful European country on the sunny side of the Alps which geographically and politically has always been a part of Central Europe. Everything in Slovenia is in abundance: the majestic Alps with their glacial valleys, rivers, and lakes, plenty of forests, mysterious karst caves, the warm Adriatic. From the steep slopes of the Alps you can reach the world of olives and vineyards in less than two hours. Slovenia's natural features and cultural and historical sites offer plenty of variety for a holiday. Maribor lies close to the Austrian border in the middle of Slovenia's wine-growing region and is surrounded by vineyards to its north and east, and by mountains (with ski slopes) to its south and west. It is proud to be the home of the world's oldest (over 400-year-old) vine-tree, recorded in the Guinness book of records. The Drava River flows through the town. On its banks, called Lent, the young people (by age and by heart) of Maribor and surroundings, socialize in many pubs and restaurants. The history of Maribor is rich and is reflected in many buildings dating back to the 13th century. The town has also a modern face; a university, theatre, shopping centers, recreation - all within walking distance.
The conference will take place in the Hotel Habakuk conference center.
