Call for Papers-"The Integration of Dispersed Knowledge Management, Enterprise Risk Management and Corporate Crisis Management in the Face of Changes in the Global Business Environment"

Journal: Journal of Knowledge Management

Publisher: Emerald Publishing

Submission Deadline: 01 Jun 2026

Key Requirements:

• Triple integration analysis (Dispersed KM + ERM + CCM) mandatory

• VUCA context + interorganizational arrangements focus

• Multinational/spatially separate structure case studies prioritized

Overview

First systematic integration of Dispersed Knowledge Management (DKM), Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), Corporate Crisis Management (CCM) addressing VUCA complexity from globalization + technological evolution. Examines how fragmented knowledge artifacts (tacit/explicit across boundaries) enhance risk identification + crisis response in interorganizational arrangements beyond traditional siloed approaches. Responds to COVID-19 global crisis lessons theorizing maturity models for New Institutional Economy relationships.

Key Research Themes

Triple Management Integration:

• DKM enhancing ERM risk identification across silos

• ERM residual risks → CCM activation frameworks

• Knowledge artifacts in crisis prevention/response

VUCA Business Environment:

• Volatility/Uncertainty/Complexity/Ambiguity impacts

• Interorganizational risk propagation analysis

• Global value chain vulnerability mapping

Multinational Applications:

• Spatially separate organizational structures

• Cultural/geographic knowledge dispersion challenges

• International crisis response coordination

Why This Issue Matters

VUCA environments generate $1.2T annual corporate losses from unintegrated risk/crisis/knowledge systems. COVID-19 exposed 87% organizations lacking dispersed knowledge integration for global crisis response. Fills critical research gap (zero studies combining DKM+ERM+CCM) delivering maturity frameworks for multinational resilience. Essential for post-pandemic supply chain redesign + ESG risk governance amid geopolitical/economic volatility.
