An exploration of intra-organisational project benefit knowledge transfer barriers

Marshall, Neville Alastair (2020) An exploration of intra-organisational project benefit knowledge transfer barriers. Master of Philosophy thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

The unique characteristics of projects combined with benefit management challenges suggest the existence of impediments to benefit knowledge transfer. An existing model containing nine knowledge transfer barriers was employed to explore the specific problem of benefit knowledge transfer from project staff to benefit management staff. The study focus is project benefit knowledge transfer barriers at the individual level within a specific organisation. The case study used interviews and project documentation to gather evidence revealing the prevalence of four barriers when transferring benefit knowledge. Addressing these barriers can improve benefit management. This finding provides a contemporary addition to knowledge transfer theory.
