INTRODUCTION

Dear Colleagues! The attached CD contains versions of all contributions presented by participants of the 8th International Workshop on Knowledge Management held on 18th and 19th of October 2013 in Bratislava, Slovakia. The event is organized annually by Vysoká škola manažmentu in Tren?ín (School of Management / City University of Seattle).

The series of the workshops started in 2006. The main aim of its organizers is to shape a network of researchers, to give them room for presenting their newest research results, and to inspire them to develop their knowledge by exchanging their ideas and thoughts. For that reason, our workshop offers various opportunities for discussions and informal talks enriching mutual contacts and future collaboration. They should lead to cooperation between scholars and practitioners in order to apply the newest result into the practice of knowledge management.

We would like to express our gratitude to Andrea Stropková, M.B.A. for her editorial work on the workshop proceedings as well as to the Bratislava staff of Vysoká škola manažmentu for their active work on the workshop implementation. Bratislava, October 2013

Jozef Hvorecký, Jozef Kelemen
