Organizational Culture and Knowledge Management Success at Project and Organizational Levels in Contracting Firms Patrick S.W. Fong1 and Cecilia W.C. Kwok2 ABSTRACT This research focuses on contracting firms within the construction sector. It characterizes and evaluates the composition of organizational culture using four culture types (Clan, Adhocracy, Market, and Hierarchy), the strategic approach for knowledge flow, and the success of KM systems at different hierarchical levels of contracting organizations (project and parent organization level). Responses from managers of local or overseas contracting firms operating in Hong Kong were collected using a carefully constructed questionnaire survey that was distributed through electronic mail. The organizational value is analyzed in terms of the four cultural models. Clan culture is found to be the most popular at both project and organization levels, which means that the culture of contracting firms very much depends on honest communication, respect for people, trust, and cohesive relationships. On the other hand, Hierarchy 1 Associate Professor, Department of Building & Real Estate, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong (corresponding author).

Another significant finding was that the two main KM strategies for knowledge flow, Codification and Personalization, were employed at both project and organization levels in equal proportion.

  • 0- 1 Introduction to Developing Management Skills
    0- 1 INTRODUCTION TO DEVELOPING MANAGEMENT SKILLS THE CRITICAL ROLE OF MANAGEMENT SKILLS No one doubts that the 21st century will continue to be characterized by chaotic, transformational, rapid- fire change. In fact, almost no sane person is willing to predict what the world will be like 50, 25, or even 15 years from now. Change is just too rapid and ubiquitous. The development of “nanobombs” have caused some people to predict that personal computers and desk top monitors will land on the scrap heap of obsolesce within 20 years. The new computers will be a product of etchings on molecules leading to personalized data processors injected in the bloodstream, implanted in eyeglasses, or included in wristwatches. Predictions of the changes that will occur in the future are often notoriously wrong, of course, as illustrated by Charles Watson’s (founder of IBM) prediction that only a few dozen computers would ever be needed in the entire world, Thomas Edison’s prediction that the light bulb would never catch on, or Irving Fisher’s (pre-eminent Yale economist) prediction in 1929 that the stock market had reached “a permanently high plateau.” When Neil Armstrong walked on the moon in 1969, most people predicted that we would soon be walking on Mars, establishing colonies in outer space, and launching probes from lunar pads. In 1973 with gas lines escalating due to an OPEC-led fuel crisis, economists predicted that gasoline would sell for $100 a barrel in the United States by 1980. At the beginning of the century, the figure was around $25.
