Abstract

Higher education is an example of organizations that could manage knowledge in its creation, transfer and dissemination. A frequently occurring problem found in higher education faculties is knowledge documentation. For that reason, knowledge management is necessarily needed to overcome the documentation problem as well as to improve academic staff’s performance. Another problem faced by faculties is the loss of knowledge. The loss of knowledge may be caused by an ending of student’s study period, a change in organizational structure, and a turnover among lecturers, staff and other sources of knowledge. The aim of this research, therefore, is to provide a review and insights regarding the benefits of implementing Knowledge Management System in higher education faculties. The methods employed in the research were the qualitative method and the 10-step knowledge management roadmap. The research produced a concept of Knowledge Management System which could be utilized as a reference to improve effectiveness of faculty activities.
