Paper Abstract:
|
A number of high tech organisations have now recognised that the combined use of virtual reality environments (VREs)
with precise descriptions of construction and operational details may pose possible knowledge leakage risks, thus
representing a threat to organisational knowledge management. This paper discusses the findings of a research project
which examined the case of a company that designs and develops this type of information system. The research design
for the project comprises of an exploratory case-study approach, which uses interviews. The interviews were conducted
with managers and technical staff from the case company. These interviews aimed to elicit the risks associated with
VREs, including business, project and technical risks. The paper concludes by proposing solutions and recommendations
on how to minimise and remediate risk occurrences in this type of organisations. |
