Understanding knowledge risks in Construction Organizations: Focus towards conceptual framework
Abstract: Managing knowledge by only considering it as a strategic asset is insufficient for understanding it and making well-informed decisions. And yet, knowledge risks and their management are still very little known. To fill the gap, this paper analyses the concept of knowledge as a risk or liability and creates a conceptual framework for understanding knowledge risks inside construction organizations. Balancing the depth and coverage of knowledge risks, theoretical results, and …
