Abstract [en]

Purpose - In this paper, we are interested in the knowledge that is "wasted" in organizations, that is existing relevant knowledge that is overlooked in the process of knowledge conversion. Given the competitive pressure firms are facing in today's business environment, a waste of knowledge is not only costly but also dangerous. This means that we consider knowledge from a knowledge at risk perspective. Having this in mind, the purpose of this paper is to review research on knowledge waste in organizations to establish our current body of knowledge regarding this topic.

Design/methodology/approach - The study consists of a systematic review of 77 peer-reviewed articles addressing knowledge waste in organizations.

Originality/value - To the best of the authors' knowledge, no systematic literature review on this topic has previously been published or presented.

Practical implications- The topic seems to be a promising field for intensive research and offers a variety of future research avenues. In view of practitioners, the study's finding may enable an increased awareness towards the areas where existing knowledge is at the mercy of "waste". This can assist practitioners to better cope with risks related to this waste and, therefore, better exploit the (limited) knowledge base available.
