A knowledge management strategy for the construction organisations and the computer model designed for supporting it

Abstract

The concept of knowledge management (KM) and the enabling technologies for it have been around for many years. However. research on using computer technologies to support KM in construction industry is still in the early stage, and KM in construction industry still faces many problems and challenges. This paper presents some common problems of KM in construction organisations. and proposes a KM strategy to help to solve these problems. A computer system, which can be used to support the KM strategy, is proposed, and the computer model is presented.
