Electronic Journal of Knowledge Management

KM research has been mainly in rich economies, with little input from the global south (Mohsin & Syed, 2018; Santos et al., 2020). While the number of KM publications from developing countries has increased in recent years due to significant contributions from countries such as China, India, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and Iran, some regions of the world are still underrepresented in global KM research (Kör et al. 2022). Latin America is clearly one of the 'blind spots' of KM research globally. 

The aim of this special issue is to understand how the Latin American context configures a particular scenario for knowledge management, through a series of cultural, social, political and economic characteristics specific to the region. Research papers are expected to address issues related to a country, groups of countries or the region in general through case descriptions, empirical or applied research, comparative studies or other forms of quantitative or qualitative studies. This call for papers is open until 30 September 2024.
