A Framework for Constructing and Assessing Knowledge Management Systems for Engineering Institutes

摘要

Knowledge management is a systematic approach to synchronize the efforts of an organization, to store, retrieve, use, and share knowledge, work information, and expertise of individuals and working teams in the organization to achieve its goals. In academia, knowledge is generated through human efforts exerted in education, learning, research, and innovation. Unlike the business sector, a limited number of studies have addressed knowledge management in academic institutions. The present work introduces a methodology to construct a knowledge management system for engineering institutes and proposes associated assessment tools for measuring institutional performance towards achieving its prescribed goals.
