| Abstract: | Phrases e.g. 'knowledge-intensive organizations' (KIO) and 'knowledge-intensive firms' (KIF), have found common usage, describing the distinct activities and attributes of some organizations. Yet, a review of the literature shows a lack of consensus among scholars and practitioners on the definition of KIOs. This paper aims at extending a typology of KIOs as a preliminary step for research on these types of organizations. With the typology of KIOs presented in the paper, there is the hope to provide a basis of distinguishing these organizations from other ones, and also to allow one to perform comparative organizational analysis. In addition, the typology will help researchers identify which of the organizations are knowledge-intense, and the nature of their knowledge-intensity in order to help the organizations in designing appropriate KM tools. |
