Academic institutions are the powerhouses of knowledge. Their remit is to
expand the horizons of knowledge, transfer knowledge into society and to
develop the capability within their students and community to understand and
build on existing knowledge. They are complex organisations with many
external pressures to meet performance and financial targets. Their internal
challenges arise from dispersed communities with different goals, cultures
and aspirations, from the need to attract and keep creative and talented
staff and students while maintaining management processes to support large
businesses, and from the diverse roles they play within their geographical,
national and international communities. This seminar will explore whether
the concepts and activities that have emerged from the 'knowledge
management' arena could help them meet their key objectives.
