Alternative for Transforming Higher Education: Knowledge Management Strategies

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In order to address and overcome challenges that higher education institutions confront, it is critical for higher education institutions to embrace and recognize the applicability and implication of knowledge management. The purpose of this study was to: examine the perceptions of department chairs of the importance of knowledge management strategies. A research question guided this inquiry: how academic department chairs in colleges of education differ in their perceptions of the importance of knowledge management strategies by organizational factors. Data were collected through a web-based survey. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and analysis of variance based on indices and scales for the importance of knowledge management strategies were examined. Implications for practice and future research were drawn.
