We present a sustainable management model capable of delivering timely products and services demanded by public and private tourism stakeholders. The case study is for the strategic decision-making of the tourism sector in Riobamba County, Ecuador, within the framework of a Tourism Observatory as a means of information management. Other cases of information management related to tourism and literature on national and international tourist observatories were analyzed. Locally, information gaps were identified through personal interviews with actors in the sector. The preferred organizational structure follows the Red Model, which uses the construction of knowledge as a barometer of quality, an opportunity for investment, market research, learning spaces and exchange of experiences. It also presents the profile of services and products that will be offered by the observatory, flow of processes, financing alternatives and strategic alliances for its operation. Our research demonstrates the willingness of tourism stakeholders to move from information management to knowledge management. It is concluded that our Information and Knowledge Management Model could be promoted in the future as an alternative to address real problems in information management. We recommend implementing our Information and Knowledge Management Model because it demonstrates a contribution to the generation of unique and transferable knowledge among tourism stakeholders. It is indispensable for stakeholder institutions to work in coordination with joint responsibility for the success of the Tourism Observatory.

This is a theoretical chapter which aims to integrate various epistemologies from the philosophical, knowledge management, cognitive science, and educational perspectives. From a survey of knowledge-related literature, this chapter collates diverse views of knowledge. This is followed by categorising as well as ascribing attributes (effability, codifiability, perceptual/conceptual, social/personal) to the different types of knowledge. The authors develop a novel Organisational Information and Knowledge Management Model which seeks to clarify the distinctions between information and knowledge by introducing novel information and knowledge conversions (information-nothing, information-information, information-knowledge, knowledge-information, knowledge-knowledge) and providing mechanisms for individual knowledge creation and information sharing (between individual-individual, individual-group, group-group) as well as Communities of Practice within an organisation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the value of using a systematic literature review to develop an integrated framework for information and knowledge management systems. Design/methodology/approach First, the systematic literature review method is introduced, differentiating it from traditional literature reviews in terms of value-added and limitations. Second, this methodology is used in a research application focused on absorptive capacity internal capabilities with regard to the processes of acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation. Third, an integrated framework for information and knowledge management systems is developed from this application. Findings The systematic literature review approach provides a rigor that can assist in reducing researcher bias while simultaneously enabling the definition of a precise scope of review, with a clear explanation of selection criteria with the objective to find and review all the studies that are relevant to the search definitions. As a research method, it effectively supports a qualitative, quantitative or mixed methodology. Research limitations/implications This methodology was applied to one specific area of research. Specific limitations include the availability of articles in subscribed databases and the analytical capabilities of the tools used for text mining and analytics. Originality/value This paper demonstrates the usefulness of the systematic literature review methodology in developing an integrated framework for analysis.

The 29th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) was held online from the 19 th to the 23 rd of October 2020. CIKM is an annual computer science conference, focused on research at the intersection of information retrieval, machine learning, databases as well as semantic and knowledge-based technologies. Since it was first held in the United States in 1992, 28 conferences have been hosted in 9 countries around the world.
