Knowledge management in small and medium architecture, engineering and construction firms in Turkey

This paper explores the extent to which small medium Architecture, Engineering and Construction firms (AEC) in the construction sector implement knowledge management (KM) approaches. Using data from semi-structured interviews of twenty-eight AEC firms operating in the construction sector, KM needs and challenges are analyzed and discussed. Breakdown of SME’s into micro, small and medium sub-categories reveals that the management of, in particular, tacit knowledge becomes complicated as firms grow in size.
