| Abstract | The research described in this article aimed to investigate the link between the internal organisational layout and its impact on the tacit knowledge transfer process in an open plan administrative working environment. In recent years academic literature in the area of Knowledge Management has concentrated on the management of knowledge within the organisation with particular focus placed upon management systems and the introduction of knowledge measurement tools. The value of this research lies in the identification of barriers to knowledge transfer within an open plan working environment and subsequent alignment of strategic goals in order to overcome these barriers. This summary is based on the research completed as part of the author’s Masters Dissertation. The literature reviewed provides a comprehensive overview of current academic research published both in the core topic of knowledge management but also on organisational design. The links and gaps in the literature between these two areas are highlighted and form the basis of the research questions posed. An online questionnaire was used to collect primary data in response to the research questions developed. The research was undertaken in environments where the respondents work in an open plan environment and in order to obtain honest feedback and responses, an anonymous questionnaire was chosen. The participants worked for a variety of industries and office environments. A 62 per cent response rate on the questionnaire resulted in an acceptable level of responses for the subsequent analysis and the study concludes by outlining the limitations to the research and makes recommendations for future research. |
