Knowledge vulnerabilities scoring system and the knowledge economy

Abstract

The paper aims to study knowledge vulnerabilities correlations with the knowledge economy, focusing on identifying knowledge vulnerabilities considering new challenges in the knowledge economy. The purpose is to analyze and understand the knowledge vulnerabilities, focusing our research on identifying some vulnerabilities in the organizational knowledge dynamics. In order to achieve our goal, we propose KVSS method that may be used in the identification and analysis process of knowledge vulnerabilities. The process will be beneficial for a correct analysis of knowledge vulnerabilities and the impact in the knowledge economy, completing the research with some solutions that may reduce negative consequences for organizations that are an active component in the knowledge economy. In today knowledge economy were knowledge has become essential for every organization and disruptions are happening frequently which gives organizations less time to manage the change and the fact that they are almost constrained to develop new strategies to answer the challenges of the changing business environment, identifying knowledge vulnerabilities will increase visibility on organizational knowledge given the opportunity to threat weakness point identified and in the end to achieve the goal to strengthen the organization. The knowledge economy has evolved more than was predicted in a short time period, adding notable value to the knowledge economy. On other side, this fast evolution in the knowledge economy revealed that some components were not fully covered, leaving some gaps that may be exploited. Our research is focused on identifying these gaps in the knowledge economy, especially on knowledge vulnerabilities.
