A Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation Approach for Knowledge Management Assessment in Iraqi Governmental Companies

Abstract

Management has emerged as one of the pillars of this field. Given that the construction sector is one of the main pillars and levers of the economy, the application of this process plays a significant and  broad role .Through this research, we studied aspects of knowledge management  in the construction sector in Iraq, examining aspects in terms of knowledge creation ,organization, and distribution, as well as the process of knowledge application . This was conducted in four government-owned companies in Iraq and we used a questionnaire as a means of gathering information, which included 44 specialists. We concluded that the strengths of these government-owned companies lie in the area of knowledge application as well as the process of knowledge creation and distribution. The weaknesses that pose a challenge to them are the process of knowledge distribution. We came up with recommendations to enhance these strengths and address weaknesses through the use of a fuzzy synthetic  assessment.
