PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION (PHE) INSTITUTIONS IN BOTSWANA AND THE FAMILY BUSINESS CONCEPT: A KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT (KM) PERSPECTIVE
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
All the five PHE institutions included in this study are owned and managed by family members. This affords members power to determine how these institutions operate. This inhibits KM practice since this process requires employees with a good-working relationship with their management enabling effective creation and sharing of knowledge. A sample of five PHE institutions was chosen as units of study while 132 respondents were selected. Results of the study revealed that most respondents are of the view that family management indeed stifles KM practice by close monitoring of employee activities, penalising employees who take the initiative and so on.
