Measunig the Level of an Engineering Organizationâs knowledge: A New Method
Author
Abstract
Knowledge is one of the most important organizations assets. To manage knowledge effectively, it is necessary to be able to measure knowledge. There are few methods for knowledge measurement with certain limitations. One important weakness of current methods is their insufficient attention to definition, dimensions and attributes of knowledge.
In this paper, we propose a new method for measuring the level of an engineering organizations knowledge. According to our proposed method, the level of an organizations knowledge is a function of both knowledge hierarchy and knowledge dimensions. The method is applied to an engineering organization to measure the level of knowledge at two different times and the results are presented.
