Enablers of Sustainable Knowledge Management in Higher Education Institutions: A Case from Turkey

Authors : Melisa Ozbiltekin-Pala, Muruvvet Deniz Sezer, Yesim Deniz Ozkan-Ozen, Yigit Kazancoglu

Published in: Circular Business Management in Sustainability

Publisher: Springer Nature Switzerland

Abstract

The amount of information that emerges with the rapidly developing technology is increasing daily, revealing the need for knowledge management. Knowledge management updates the ever-increasing information capacity in organizations, makes the information available, defines the processes necessary to reach the required information, and enables the knowledge needed to be shared. Especially in higher education institutions, sustainable knowledge management is essential for developing a long-term sustainable culture. Therefore, this study aims to determine the enablers of sustainable knowledge management in higher education institutions. As a result, fostering sustainable learning is determined as the best criterion for the case of higher education institutors.
