Exploring the challenges and solutions for knowledge sharing: A conceptual framework

Abstract

The objective of this research is to identify the challenges and solutions of knowledge sharing (KS) within project-based organizations (PBOs). This study pointed out that challenges and solutions of KS through a literature review and a single case study. The current status of each of the challenges and solutions in different stages of the project life cycle were determined using a questionnaire, reviewing official documents and semi-structured interviews arranged. The results demonstrate that there are several challenges and obstacles that impede KS in the PBOs. Different solutions to overcome the challenges and obstacles were identified for stages of the project life cycle. Through a specific framework, the solutions of overcoming the identified obstacles and challenges of KS in the projects life cycle stages have been provided in this study.
