XVème Colloque AGECSO - 22th to 24th June 2002- Nice

Ecosystems, Knowledge, Innovation and Territories

The XVth AGECSO conference proposes to adopt a broad vision of ecosystems to study the problems and issues of knowledge management that are posed or imposed by new forms of networked organisations. Papers will focus on the different forms of ecosystems as discussed in the literature. Whether they take the form of entrepreneurial, innovation, knowledge or innovation collectives (consortia, partnerships, etc.) ecosystems (Oh et al. 2016); whether they are territorialized or a-territorialized, facilitated or embodied by digital technologies (Senyo et al. 2019), ecosystems will be placed in the debates of the XVth AGECSO colloquium as (evolving) organizational contexts within and through which knowledge management theories are challenged, questioned and mobilized.

Beyond this theme, several sessions will be proposed in the continuity of the last two colloquia that were cancelled (in 2020) or held in the Covid-19 period (2021). In addition, all contributions that fall within the field of knowledge management in general will be legitimate.

Extended abstract submissions should be sent to agecso2022@univ-cotedazur.fr copy amel.attour@univ-cotedazur.fr
