Abstract

Knowledge leads to wisdom and creates the 'intellectual excellence of organisation'. Building awareness of the role of knowledge is key in the effort to protect knowledge. It includes being aware of the benefits of knowledge and the risks that threaten and devalue it. The paper proposes a simple model of building knowledge awareness in organisations and presents a new classification of security knowledge risks. The empirical part presents a survey's results on a sample of N = 900 Czech and Polish respondents. With the use of Pearson's correlation coefficient, both of the formulated hypotheses were confirmed: (H1) The perception of knowledge benefits for employees as well as organisations and knowledge risks of Czech versus Polish respondents is correlated; (H2) The benefits of appropriate knowledge management, provided to the employees and the organisation, correlate mutually. The conclusion presents the measures for better use and protect knowledge.
