Knowledge Risk Management in SMEs: Opportunities and Challenges

Forschungsprojekt

The aim of this study is to highlight the contribution of knowledge risk management (KRM) to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their efforts to cope with current and future business challenges. Specifically, this study seeks to answer the following three research questions:
1. What are risks related to knowledge?
2. How is knowledge risk management defined in extant research?
3. Do SMEs attempt to manage knowledge risks, and, if so, what strategies and methods are employed for this purpose?
Given the importance of knowledge a strategic approach to its (risk) management is required to help SMEs survive in the long run. Therefore exploring these questions will provide a clearer understanding of knowledge risk management in general and in SMEs in particular.
