Knowledge management principles, strategies, models, tools, and techniques have been proven in government, business, and industry. More recently, knowledge management has emerged as an essential enabler for the successful pursuit of scholarly activities in higher education. Knowledge management has significant contributions to make in capturing, storing, processing, and disseminating knowledge between and across these stakeholder entities and their processes to better support these interrelated processes and activities. Given the impetus provided by the United Nations Global Knowledge Economy Policy, institutions worldwide are actively pursuing the use of knowledge management in all facets of social and economic development. The importance of knowledge management research and application in academia is a critical element of this multifaceted endeavor. Enhancing Academic Research and Higher Education With Knowledge Management Principles is a compendium of cutting-edge research on the use of knowledge management in higher education and provides original, theoretical, and application-oriented research within this domain. The book will also provide insights on the management of expertise, knowledge, information, and organizational development in different types of work communities and environments. By including research on global perspectives, the implementation of knowledge management at universities, current trends in the field, and the results, this book is a valuable reference work for professionals and researchers working in the field of information and knowledge management in various disciplines, and academics, analysts, developers, students, technologists, education consultants, higher education administrators, academicians, stakeholders, and practitioners seeking to learn, improve, and expand their theoretical and applied knowledge of knowledge management tools and techniques, models, processes, and systems in higher education.

Research and knowledge management are important to higher education institutions as a means of improving their operations. The rapid growth of data and technologies triggers data transformation into useful information, known as knowledge. Nowadays, people are aware of the worth of knowledge and the methods used to obtain, recognize, capture, save, and leverage it, so that knowledge can be shared without losing it. Effective knowledge management programs identify and leverage the know-how embedded in work with a focus on how it will be applied. The challenge in knowledge management is to make the right knowledge available to the right people at the right time. Knowledge Management and Research Innovation in Global Higher Education Institutions investigates the cultural, financial, and social factors affecting research and knowledge management in higher education institutions. It considers the strategic decisions made by university administrators and the adoption of decisions made by individual staff members. The book further describes the factors found to affect the implementation and practice of knowledge management in educational institutions. Covering topics such as social development, knowledge systems, and developing economies, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for faculty, administrators, and students of higher education; librarians; sociologists; economists; government officials; researchers; and academicians.

“How does the management handle the important know-how capital? It is considerably more important to know what is invested in it in the form of education, research etc., than what is invested in office furniture. Nevertheless it is the latter that figures in the annual accounts.” —Karl-Erik Sveiby, The Invisible Balance Sheet[1] This was a critical juncture in the life of Intellectual Capital Management (ICM). Since the 1990s, the topic of intangibles has been the focus of attention for both academic researches and business practices. A significant amount of literature attempts to understand the nature of intangibles, to measure them, as well as to assess the value relevance of different intangible elements. Given the economic importance of intangibles, a number of intangible measurement frameworks or models have been developed, and different guidelines have been constructed. Nowadays, there is no doubt that if nations and organizations want to attain a competitive advantage, they have to deal with intellectual capital. They are in the balance sheets of national and organizational wealth and value, although not in the explicit terms and figures that accountants need for calculation. Almost 23years ago, Sveiby in his book, the invisible Balance Sheet, wrote: “Rarely is the question asked, why measure intangibles? The answer is not self-evident. Intangibles are difficult and expensive to measure and the results are so uncertain, so the reason had better be a good one.” [2] We know that the answers to this question probably already exist within our organizations, but we have yet to map the easiest and most accessible routes to them. However, a significant amount of empirical research can be found in the field of value relevance of intangibles, most of this has focused on the impacts of individual intellectual capital components on firm`s overall performance, and little is known regarding the internal composition and complementarities between intellectual capital management and other organisational capabilities. Nowadays, modern management practices are considered as a strategic means of competitive advantage. From the resource-based point of view, the value of resources does not only reside in the resources themselves but also in the way they are deployed. Therefore, capabilities can also be seen themselves as intangible resources. Therefore, apart from the lack of theoretical background and contextual information, general intellectual capital studies suffer from the availability of practical case studies about how to manage them. This issue is becoming even more prominent in case of universities; where it is coupled with the dichotomous of the definition of perceived/expected value of intellectual capital in higher education sectors. For many, the intellectual capital of universities assumed to be in its highest level of excellence, while new researches show that universities false to achieve expected innovativeness goals. This issue needs more attention from higher education policy makers since nowadays it is more expected that universities facilitate the spread and transfer of new knowledge and technology to the business world, while adopting more businesslike approaches and becoming more outward-looking. With this aim, some third generation universities have established or supported formation of science parks near their campuses as an structure for fostering knowledge and technology transfer and application of scarce research resources to increase the dynamism between the between the academic world and the business world. Generally it is expected that science parks contribute to the regional development by fostering the growth of knowledge-based firms, advocating relationships and networking among large companies and SMEs, and providing the linkage opportunities between firms and R&D institutions and universities. Many researchers and economists have linked output from science parks and business incubators to economic growth indicators, such as job and wealth creation in developed and developing countries. From this prospective, it seems that the definition of science park shares certain similarities with the concept of the business ecosystem where the focus is to build an extensive network of partners that can enable companies to innovate faster, at lower cost, while enhancing their tangible and intangible assets, and create new value through an increased number and variety of information, knowledge flows and services available to them. Considering the knowledge intensive nature of onsite SMEs, researchers have indicated that intellectual capital is likely to be the key sources of sustainable competitive advantage for SMEs. Therefore, science park capabilities in localising the knowledge spillover and providing networking opportunities become a critical source for development of intellectual capital stocks in onsite SMEs. Therefore, SMEs` benefits will be enhanced if intellectual capital management practices can be captured, learned, codified, applied, developed and transferred through co-evolution and co-opetition opportunities, and via the innovation platform of science park business ecosystem. Now, what if universities as an important role players in such business ecosystems fail to manage their intellectual capital stock, or do not continuously develop their intellectual capital management capabilities? On both universities and companies sides, many executives and managers don’t even know that intellectual capital management exists, or that it is the solution to many issues concerning improving organisational efficiency, effectiveness, and innovation. There are many intellectual capital management failures to point to; perhaps more failures than successes. Does intellectual capital management then have, or even need, a future? If so, what are the best practices in managing intellectual capital in both academic and business eras? This book is a response to the fact that on the whole, universities and SMEs have grappled with, but not yet mastered, intellectual capital management. The central motivation for assembling the contributions in this book on the intellectual capital management derives from the observation that very few universities and located knowledge intensive small and medium sized businesses on universities science parks appear to be inclined to explain what intellectual capital is or how it works socially, organizationally or economically. This book has pulled together number of leading researchers from a range of intellectual capital management studies disciplines in one convenient volume. The chapters in this book include the selected and most up-to-date ideas, concepts, practices and case studies on the subject of intellectual capital management, particularly in higher education, science and technology, submitted to the 5th International Conference on Intellectual Capital Management. The overall objective is to inform the higher education policy makers and entrepreneurial individuals about the importance of intellectual capital management and to provide practical but principled guidance for enhancing such capabilities. The mission is to condense emerging IC theory and to distill it into actionable form of immediate relevance and use by potential audiences. Jalil Khavand Kar September, 2013 [1] Sveiby, Karl-Erik.
