In the second phase, a fuzzy decision matrix is used for determining the priority and importance of factors in view of research experts. Fuzzy sets are used to interpret the subjective evaluations in accordance with the linguistic information. After implementing of the proposed method, “ top management support” and “proper knowledge sharing between members” factors, have the highest priority, and also “ non formalization” and “ decentralization” factors have the lowest priority. Factors identified in this study and prioritization of them, can serve as guide for universities to prioritize and adjust the KM activities."
