Dear all,

I am looking for cases, case studies, which I can analyse for my research, in the topic, which I call 'knowledge monopoly problems'.

I mean, there are problems, that the employees would not shqre there knowledge, because ex. they are affraid, that they are loosing their job, and their personal knowledeg is the one, which protect them.

I have looking for these stories in the Internet, but I have found only one: The famous case of an engineering and construction company (Davenport and Prusak, Ernst & Young), in which a plan has been developed to make knowledge available across projects in hopes of reducing construction time and costs by applying existing design solutions to new situations, using an on-line knowledge-base. The project was not succeed. After a layoff period of the company, the employees counted their personal knowledge as a source of their job security, and they was afraid of sharing it, would weaken their position.

If someone know stories, cases, case stories like this, please share it with me!

Thanks in advance!

Peter
