Хельсинки - с 23 по 24 апреля 2012 года.

This is a final call for papers for the 4th European Conference on Intellectual Capital (ECIC 2012) being held at the Arcada University of Applied Sciences, Helsinki, Finland on the 23-24 April 2012.

This call is open until 3rd of October 2011. http://academic-conferences.org/ecic/ecic2012/ecic12-call-papers.htm Today, almost 80% of economic value creation is based on intangible resources. However, most organizations still do not have appropriate management practices that reveal the value of these resources and how to give direction to future value creation.

The concept of intellectual capital gives intangibles ‘a body’ and therefore makes it possible to measure, communicate and interpret the outcomes. At ECIC 2012 we are keen to encourage contributions that deal with a range of current and emerging research issues in the IC area, including:

1) Intellectual Capital associated with Triple Bottom Line (TBL) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

2) Measuring and notifying the “unknown” and how to take advantage of it,

3) Intellectual Capital, Learning Organisations and complexity,

4) How to utilize increased academic knowledge and networking in promoting economic and organizational innovations and changes - and does it lead to practical and functioning solutions?

The advisory group for the conference invites submissions of both academic and practitioner papers on a wide range of topics and a wide range of scholarly approaches including theoretical and empirical papers employing qualitative, quantitative and critical methods. Academic research, case studies and work-in-progress/posters are welcomed approaches. PhD Research, proposals for roundtable discussions or knowledge cafés, non-academic contributions and product demonstrations based on the main themes are also invited. Please feel free to circulate this message to any colleagues or contacts you think may be interested.

Papers presented at the conference will be published in the conference proceedings subject to author registration and payment. Selected papers presented at the conference will also be considered for publication in a special issue of the Electronic Journal of Knowledge Management.
