UNDERSTANDING KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN ACADEMIC UNITS: A FRAMEWORK FOR THEORY AND RESEARCH
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Knowledge management (KM) is an important process for universities as well as business organizations. However, literature fails to reflect common and reliable understandings of university knowledge management (UKM). A systematic, comprehensive, and explanatory view of UKM is strongly needed. This study aims to conceptualize the UKM process based on an extensive literature review. It reveals the basic distinctive features of the process and identifies five major areas to be further investigated. It is asserted that the UKM process should be researched through systematic analyses which focus on cooperation, tacit knowledge, knowledge continuity management, dominating power relationships, and social knowledge management throughout the investigated organizations. Understanding KM is expected to contribute to a better understanding of contemporary university problems in a world increasingly characterized by VUCA.
