== Knowledge barriers ==
Just like knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing, the term "knowledge barriers" is not a uniformly defined term and differs in its meaning depending on the author.<ref name=PaulinandSuneson2011/> Knowledge barriers can be associated with high costs for both companies and individuals.<ref>{{cite book |last=Dalkir |first=Kimiz |date=2005 |title=Knowledge management in theory and practice |pages=221, 276–289 |doi=10.4324/9780080547367 |isbn=9781136389757 |url=https://doi.org/10.4324/9780080547367 |access-date=May 1, 2022}}</ref><ref name=Riege2005>{{cite journal |last=Riege |first=Andreas |date=June 1, 2005 |title=Three-dozen knowledge-sharing barriers managers must consider |journal=Journal of Knowledge Management |volume=9 |issue=3 |pages=18–35 |doi=10.1108/13673270510602746 |url=https://doi.org/10.1108/13673270510602746 |access-date=May 2, 2022|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last=Riege |first=Andreas |date=February 2007 |title=Actions to overcome knowledge transfer barriers in MNCs |journal=Journal of Knowledge Management |volume=11 |issue=1 |pages=48–67 |doi=10.1108/13673270710728231 |url=https://doi.org/10.1108/13673270710728231 |access-date=May 2, 2022|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
Knowledge barriers appear to have been used from at least three different perspectives in the literature:<ref name=PaulinandSuneson2011>{{cite web |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/286105137 |last1=Paulin |first1=Dan Theodor |last2=Suneson |first2=K |date=January 2011 |title=Knowledge Transfer, Knowledge Sharing and Knowledge Barriers-Three Blurry Terms in KM |access-date=May 8, 2022}}</ref>
1) Missing knowledge about something as a result of barriers for the share or transfer of knowledge.
2) Insufficient knowledge based on the amount of education in a certain field or issue.
3) A unique individual or group of humans' perceptual system lacks adequate contact points or does not fit incoming information to use and transform it to knowledge.
