Knowledge Management, Absorptive and Dynamic Capacities and Project Success: A Review and Framework

This study investigates the relationship between knowledge management and project success. The applied research method was a systematic literature review, using bibliometric, network, and content analysis techniques. As a result, a framework is proposed, relating knowledge management and project success. The relationship between both tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge with success dimensions is explored in the literature. Explicit knowledge is more related to project management efficiency and impact on teams, while tacit knowledge has also been related to present impact on business in the surveyed literature. The main tools and techniques regarding knowledge management in project contexts were also identified.
