| Summary: | Although many studies have been carried out in the knowledge domain, knowledge vulnerabilites
is still a less explored field, difficult to analyze, full of challenges, with areas of high interest
especially in the current times of unpredictable changes. The paper aims to study knowledge
vulnerabilities, focusing on their definitions and interpretations. We propose an analysis on the
existing publications dealing with knowledge vulnerabilities and knowledge risks. A critical analysis
shows that the concept of knowledge vulnerabilities is used in some complex studies like those
focusing on climate change, but not in the knowledge management systems. That is a significant
knowledge gap for the knowledge management systems considering that already researchers focus
on knowledge risks. The findings demonstrate the importance of introducing this concept in the
analysis of knowledge risks and in elaborating strategies for reducing the probabilities of their
emergence and of mitigating the associated possible consequences.
