Education Administrators' Views about Knowledge Management

Abstract

Sustainable development of human resources within Higher Education Institutions (HEI) involves utilizing the current human capital in ways which will allow it to persevere and grow individually and collectively. Such development may be achieved through knowledge management (KM) practices. Quality levels of education offerings may be elevated through the dissemination and enhancement of knowledge and practice, in learning and teaching, within and across universities and colleges. On its road to KM success an organization must give the necessary attention to a number of factors which are considered critical. Amongst these is the need to have a KM strategy and successful leadership. Thus, this research was initiated to investigate the viewpoints of top executives in a HEI regarding KM practices in education. Among other things, the administrators put emphasis on the need for efficient collaboration and communication channels to be established and enabled by the appropriate Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Their comments and highlights may serve to broaden our understanding regarding future steps in the process of establishing KM in HE.
