Knowledge management in higher education: Theory and practice

The purpose of this paper is to develop a Knowledge Management (KM) model in order to investigate and monitor the performance of HEIs in Oman. In this paper, a KM model of five KM components based on the relative performance factor and a critical set of 22 indicators from an original set of 180 indicators are proposed and outlined; in terms of the use of the KM categories and selected indicators, the performance of 30 Higher Education Institutions was measured and studied. In this paper, the literature and related approaches were studied. A KM model which is based on the five main components of KM, relative performance factor, indicators, weights, and data collection was proposed. Three types of data were collected from institutions to calculate the indicators/the relative performance factor, and several tests were carried out. In addition, the conceptualisation and operationalisation processes of the model are discussed. The proposed KM model was implemented in all the private institutions and the obtained results show the applicability and accuracy of the technique, and the proposed technique was compared with the classical approach. The results of the proposed approach have been tested and analysed comprehensively: these results of the statistical tests of the aforementioned proposed approach show a high level of accuracy of the results, and that the results of institutions differ significantly one from another, and also that the differences between institutions are not due to any random factor. The discussion of the numerical results shows that the performance of HEIs was placed in three categories. The findings of the paper highlight the performance of HEIs and they give significant evidence to individual HEIs and to the stakeholders so as to allow them to act on the findings and distinguish between them in terms of the actual performance.

Aim. To study new challenges and priority tasks facing universities within the framework of the new priority of the state scientific policy of Azerbaijan, as well as to identify problems related to scientific activity in universities of the republic in the context of world experience, and to make proposals on issues related to their solution.Tasks. To determine approaches and priorities for ensuring the effectiveness of scientific and pedagogical activity in modern universities, opportunities to develop new strategies of activity.Methods. In developing the conceptual provisions of the study within the framework of dialectical and systemic approaches used such methods of general scientific knowledge as historical and logical, abstraction, analysis, synthesis, the unity of objective and subjective in the development of economic processes. Economic and statistical, factor, functional and comparative methods of analysis were widely used. The methodological basis of the study also served as a systematic approach to the disclosure of institutional development of the state science policy of Azerbaijan. The author applied methods of scientific analysis, in particular, statistical; methods of comparative, fundamental and functional analysis. The article reflects the ideas stated in the scientific works of scientists-economists devoted to the problems of institutional development of the state science policy of Azerbaijan.Results. The triad “education — science — innovation” in universities forms the basis of their activity. Therefore, there is a need to rid scientific activity from its formal character and abstract content, as well as to change the traditional approach to the management of scientific activity in universities. Recommendations and proposals for improving educational-research-innovation efficiency in higher education in accordance with the requirements of the modern period, adequate to the peculiarities of the national economy development, have been developed.Conclusions. It is expected that by 2030 Azerbaijan will become an economically more developed and competitive country. Achievement of this goal depends on the presence of national scientific-innovative universities that ensure the use, assimilation and dissemination of new knowledge and technologies in Azerbaijan.
