1.6 Limitation of the Study
It’s
not rare that researcher experience difficulties in the course of
carrying out research work. It is worth noticing that researcher
encountered difficulty in obtaining relevant information needed in
producing a research that is well comprehensive, it was also very
difficult in obtaining data as some materials are considered
confidential.
1.7 The Need of the Study
The construction
industry is recognized as being poor at learning on a consistent basis
and improving performance and is notoriously slow in adapting to
progressive change. The Nigerian construction industry has to queue into
these innovative ideas as knowledge management has been promoted as a
means of harnessing and utilizing intellectual resources to address
these challenges, in addition to improving innovation, business
performance and client satisfaction. Two categories requiring knowledge
management in the construction industry have been identified; within
projects, across temporary, multi-discipline project organization, and
within individual firms. It is accepted that there may be much greater
potential for knowledge management within individual companies. Despite
the recognized need to adopt knowledge management, it is considered to
be in its infancy in the construction industry and is seen as a recent
and evolving practice for construction organizations.
The lack of a
working definition of knowledge within construction organizations and
awareness of the importance and potential advantages of knowledge
management reflects a casual approach, and indicates the need for
further exploration of knowledge and knowledge management related
issues.
