标题: Knowledge Risks and its Management in the Service Economy
摘要: 
Most Knowledge Management Programs emphasize on the importance of capturing, retaining and sharing of organizational knowledge among its stakeholders. As the beneficial effect of these process could not be felt immediately, there is often a lack of priorities and urgency allocated to knowledge management (KM) initiatives from the senior management. and is only a good-to-have agenda in corporate business. The measurement and reporting of intellectual capital ( IC) and intellectual asset (IA) though make better sense to attract attention from the financial perspectives , the percentage of companies which include IC or IA in their annual reports is still low. To overcome such lack of incentives to implement KM, another better approach in most organizations is on the assessment of knowledge risks and its disastrous effect on the daily operation of its business. Knowledge risk refers to the potential threats, disastrous at times, caused by knowledge when it is not managed properly. A tool is developed by the Knowledge Management and Innovation Research Center of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to assess the knowledge risk factors of company systematically and reliably. These factors o include knowledge loss, leakage and obsolescence. There are two connected assessments. The first is a traditional quick check-list type survey to evaluate the risk factor level and the other is an evidence-based validation which overcomes the major weakness of the subjective responses. The risk tool has been conducted in various companies with very encouraging results and feedback. In addition, methods and practices to mitigate knowledge risks in various companies are also illustrated.
