Abstract

During the process of knowledge-intensive business service (KIBS), if the knowledge required is provided insufficiently, untimely and inappropriately, the performance of KIBS will be affected significantly. In this paper, the characteristics of KIBS are analyzed; the relationship between the knowledge gaps and customer relationship risk of KIBS is discussed. Based on the knowledge gap model of KIBS, the seven major knowledge gaps and corresponding causes which exist during the process of KIBS are put forward. Several relevant suggestions are provided to improve KIBS customer relationship risk management performance.
