The life cycle of companies and enterprises is currently characterized by a remarkably short duration due to the rapid pace of social and technological changes. Despite the increasing recognition of the significance of knowledge management (KM) among academic researchers, its widespread implementation in industry remains limited. The question arises as to why this is the case, despite the growing awareness of KM's importance.

Most KM programs place significant emphasis on the capture, retention, and sharing of organizational knowledge among its stakeholders. However, the beneficial outcomes of these initiatives are often not immediately evident, leading senior management to prioritize KM initiatives. To overcome this challenge in implementing KM, an approach that considers the assessment of knowledge risk factors and their detrimental impact on the daily operations of the company is explored.

This book represents the first attempt of its kind to provide a pragmatic and actionable perspective on launching knowledge risk management at the grassroots level. It offers step-by-step guidance on what should constitute the mission and practical skills required for a KM practitioner. Additionally, this book is noteworthy for its abundance of real-world cases, examples, and data drawn from the business world. It serves as a valuable resource for business practitioners, KM researchers, HR professionals, risk management specialists, management accountants, and leaders seeking to expand their understanding of Knowledge Management and knowledge risks.
