Short description:

Knowledge retention (KR) has been identified as one of the critical factors for maintaining sustainable performance. However, until recently, most of the existing researches have focused on large organizations, while very few studies have mentioned this issue in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). To redress some of this imbalance in the literature, this paper provides a reference model for knowledge retention within SMEs. This model includes most of the fundamental elements that are believed to be critical for an effective KR implementation. The model is especially tailored for SMEs to kick-start a KR initiative in their organization as well as can be served as a template to assess the SMEs' KR maturity level.
