Figure 2.
The conceptual diagram presents two large overlapping circular forms positioned vertically to compare knowledge leakage and knowledge protection within organisational contexts. The upper circle is labelled knowledge leakage and contains a list of contributing factors, including employee mobility, information disorder, misuse of knowledge sharing tools, and diverse stakeholders’ involvement. The lower circle is labelled knowledge protection and lists protective mechanisms such as non-disclosure agreements, standard operating procedures, education and training, and sharing relevant knowledge. The circles slightly overlap at the centre, suggesting an interaction between leakage risks and protective strategies. Smaller circular forms appear attached to the upper left edges of both larger circles, and a small dot is positioned near the centre of the upper circle.Interorganizational knowledge leakage and protection framework
