Research of Blog Based Knowledge Management System of Architectural Design Companies

It requires huge knowledge and experience for architectural design companies (ADCs) to design a building and specify the details for construction. Most knowledge content needed in Architectural design (AD) process can be classified as either explicit or tacit knowledge. And tacit knowledge refers to experience, problem-solving, know-how, design strategy, etc is the most important resource of ADCs. However, tacit knowledge is concealed in employees head and cannot be effectively translated into the company´s intellectual capital. Based on the multi-case study, this thesis proposes a blog based knowledge management (KM) system to capture the knowledge in AD process, and at the same time, improve the reuse of the knowledge.
