Knowledge management in the energy sector: review and future directions

Author:

Edwards John S.

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the state of knowledge management (KM) in the energy sector and more broadly, and consider future directions for research and practice.Design/methodology/approachThe paper reviews the literature on KM and the practice of KM as relevant to the energy sector.FindingsThere are many examples of good practice in KM in the sector, and some organisations, especially in the oil industry, are seen as leaders in KM practice. However, other organisations have yet to embark on explicit KM initiatives or projects at all. In addition, some parts of the energy sector discuss KM without any reference to the more general KM literature.Originality/valueAlthough some parts of the energy sector have justifiably earned a good reputation for KM, other parts are completely unaware of the field, as is apparent from the literature. This review helps to raise awareness and guide future work.
