These individuals may make up a small per cent of patients and family members, probably less than 2 per cent, but take up 90 per cent of energy in coping with day-to-day conflicts that arise from their behavior. Difficulties managing distrustful patients and family members must be dealt with on the spot, and they don’t go away. <BR/>Examples come from office experiences or wards, including situations that keep doctors and nurses and therapists awake at night, aggravate waking hours and poison leisure, that is, empirical, based upon experience and observation alone without science or theory. To survive an outrageous patient or relative requires resourcefulness, patience and imagination. Street wisdom learned the hard way is what I present, and without a guide or mentor to soften the bewilderment and sense of failure and frustration that accompanies these individuals. We seldom talk about these difficult, distrustful and sometimes threatening individuals amongst ourselves; rather we suffer and endure them silently, by ourselves. The problem is timeless as recorded in the world’s literature. <BR/>Out of the wreckage of human behavior comes valued experience leading to maneuvers and tactics of survival that are appropriate to almost all aspects and settings of human interaction including day-to-day medical care.<BR/><BR/>Links:<BR/>Trust in a Medical Setting.

Creating and applying new knowledge are often cited as primary reasons organizations get involved in KM. Yet, to date the majority of research in KM and KMS focuses on knowledge reuse and transfer of best practices, rather than how knowledge is created and applied to derive business value, generate new ideas, and develop new products and solutions. <BR/>In recent workshops addressing KM, scholars and practitioners have identified the need for further research on: How knowledge is developed and transformed into business value? and How KM/KMS contribute to creativity and innovation both at the individual and organizational level? <BR/>This need is also recognized a high priority of leading organizations. The CEO's of General Electric and Proctor & Gamble for instance have made creativity and innovation predominate corporate priorities (Brady, 2005; Nussbaum, 2005). Responding to the emerging need for companies to develop innovation capabilities, Business Week has recently created a new online website - www.businessweek.com/innovate - to present the best research and thinking about the subject. <BR/>In line with this challenging research issue, this mini track will draw appropriate papers on the broadest range of research methodologies including case studies, action research, experimentation, survey, and simulation. <BR/>Possible topics include, but are not limited to: <BR/> Knowledge and action: how knowledge is developed, transformed, interpreted and used to make effective decisions and take actions <BR/>KM and New Product Development: how KM contributes to the generation, evaluation and implementation of new products, services, processes and solutions <BR/>KM/KMS support for collaborative and creative work, e.g., design, research and development, exploration, customer support <BR/>Knowledge sharing, diffusion and creativity, as influenced by different organization cultures and structures <BR/>Managing knowledge exploitation vs. exploration dilemmas <BR/>Mechanisms associated with KM, creativity and innovation <BR/>The use of KM to reduce risk in creative/innovative processes <BR/><BR/>Abstracts are optional. Please do not hesitate to contact this Minitrack Chairs or the primary contact at Benbya@gmail.com for guidance and indication of appropriate content at any time.<BR/><BR/>June 15, 2007: Authors submit full papers by this date, following Author Instructions found on the HICSS web site. All papers will be submitted in double column publication format and limited to 10 pages including diagrams and references. HICSS papers undergo a double-blind review (June15 – August15). <BR/><BR/>Knowledge Management Systems Track: <BR/>http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_41/fkmcfp41.htm <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Hind Benbya (Primary contact) <BR/>Associate Professor <BR/>GSCM-Montpellier Business School <BR/>2300, Avenue des Moulins <BR/>34185 Montpellier Cedex 4 <BR/>France <BR/>Tel: +33 (0) 4 67 10 28 19 <BR/>Fax: +33(0) 4 67 45 13 56 <BR/>Benbya@gmail.com <BR/>h.benbya@supco-montpellier.fr <BR/><BR/>Lynne P.
