“…One can surmise that Person and Process is linked to Knowledge and Management in that KM is associated with processes in which Knowledge is managed. And as Knowledge is linked to the individual (Baker, Baker, Thorne and Dutnell, 1997, Shariq, 1998, Bender and Fish, 2000, Kalpic and Bernus, 2006, one can indicate that the person to whom knowledge is ascribed would be valued in the language associated with defining KM.…”

“…In this case a developing country's action to achieve the same product or technology through research-production strategy will be an uneconomic and unreasonable act unless purposes like reinforcing technical and scientific bases of the country are proposed that choosing this strategy won't be desirable again. Whatever the evolution degree of a technology prior to the stagnation and abolishment phase is higher; strategy of purchasing a product and technology would be more cost-effective [24].…”

Abstract-Technology transfer in developing countries vary from those of developed ones, and management of technology transfer during the recent years has been among the cases that has allocated the biggest mental disturbance of senior managers of engineering and manufacturing organizations in developing countries such as Iran. One of the questions that have always been raised is that how Iran can decrease its technological distance with that of developed countries in the shortest time and have a suitable share in the global business. This can be achieved through reverse engineering which includes any activities to determine how a product works or to learn the ideas and technology that were originally used to develop the product.Studying about countries like Iran which haven't obtained technology in the course of time, but have tried to encompass it at a point in time, shows that one of the best way to achieve technology transfer is the extensive application of reverse engineering method to determine how a product functions, its fabrication, and then develop it with respect to its own needs. Supervision for good execution of systematic reverse engineering process and the application of engineering tools and techniques in this process could have an appropriate impact on reaching technical knowledge of products in the shortest time possible and with minimum cost.The aims of this study is to explain briefly the steps needed to manage the different strategies of technologies transfer, role of research and development in achieving them, as well as how to select appropriate reverse engineering strategies as a suitable way towards technology transfer in order that Iran can meet its own demand for new compatible industrial product in a cheaper way as well as market expansion, exporting purposes and, in one way or another, to overcome the imposed economic sanction against her by some countries. The result of this inquiries shows that, in short run, application of reverse engineering method is one of the best solution to decrease technological gap from that of industrial countries and to meet its mentioned purposes.

“…They investigated on how knowledge management could build and nurture a knowledge sharing culture in an organization. Bender and Fish (2000) recognize that knowledge originates in the head of an individual and builds on information that is transformed and enriched by personal experience, beliefs and values with decision and action-relevant meaning. It is information interpreted by the individual and applied to the purpose for which it is needed.…”

Knowledge management, a very popular term which describes a range of practices used by organizations to identify, create, represent, and distribute knowledge for reuse, awareness and learning across the organization. This paper will discuss a practice used by academics in Centre for Diploma Programme (CDP) in Multimedia University via syllabus management system. Every two to five years, CDP's academic and management staff will prepare the updated syllabi for MQA accreditation. The system will assist both the administrator and the lecturers in organizing, updating and retrieving their syllabi information for the entire Diploma in Information Technology (DIT) programme. There are basically a few factors that encourage academics to practice knowledge management. First of all, we will identify the contributing factors that encourage the academics in CDP, MMU for practicing knowledge management i.e. MQA's requirement, academics' commitment and the university's requirement and then the practice of knowledge management is shared through the Syllabus Management System. The requirement models have been represented using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the development stage uses the ontology development methodology. The ontology methodology is then used as a guideline for creating ontologies based on a declarative knowledge representation system. The system is deployed on the Protégé ontology editor tool.
