Facilitating Activities for Knowledge Management Success in Project Based Organizations

Abstract

The value of an effective knowledge management system has been discussed to a great extent during the last decades. Researchers have discovered several barriers to effective knowledge management, and along with these, facilitating activities to counteract these barriers. In this thesis we test the theoretical connection between facilitating activities and knowledge management success. This was done in cooperation with the Norwegian department of Faveo Prosjektledelse as the case company. To perform this case study research, we have used a questionnaire, interviews, and formal documents as evidence. Our findings indicate that there potentially is a relationship between facilitating activities and project management success.
