Usage of knowledge management tools: UK and Canada versus Russia and Turkey in a comparative study
Öz: Problem Durumu: Bütün organizasyonlar gibi üniversiteler de yaşamlarını sürdürebilmek ve amaçlarını gerçekleştirebilmek için bilgiyi etkin bir şekilde yönetme ihtiyacı duymaktadırlar. Bilgi yönetimini örgütsel bir süreç olarak tasarlanmak ve sürekli geliştirilmek durumundadır. Bu süreç her tür çağdaş örgüt açısından bilgi yönetimini bir zorunluluk haline getirmiştir. Araştırma ve eğitim faaliyetlerinin gerçekleştirildiği üniversitelerde ise bilgi yönetimi çalışmaları kritik öneme sahiptir. Üniversitedeki eğitim faaliyetlerinin etkili bir şekilde yürütülebilmesi insanların, örgütsel süreçlerin, teknolojinin ve yapısal özelliklerin işlevsel bir koordinasyonu ile mümkündür. Bilgi yönetimi bu koordinasyonun gerçekleştirilmesine yardımcı olarak üniversitedeki eğitime katkı sağlayabilir. Günümüzde eğitim faaliyetlerinin odak noktası öğretme çabalarından ziyade öğrenme süreçleridir. Bilgi yönetiminin en önemli araçları arasında yer alan enformasyon teknolojilerinin ve sosyal bilgi yönetimi araçlarının etkin kullanımı öğrenmeyi destekleyebilir. Bilgi yönetimi sürecinin gereklilikleri bilgi yönetimi araçları vasıtasıyla yerine getirilmektedir. Öğrenmenin gerçekleştirilmesini teşvik eden ve dolayısıyla bilgi yönetimini olanaklı kılan araçlar bilgi yönetiminin özünü oluşturmaktadırlar. Araçsız bir bilgi yönetimi süreci düşünülemez. Araçlar sürecin bütününde olduğu gibi bilgi edinimi aşamasında da önemli bir rol oynamaktadırlar. Dolayısıyla, organizasyonların bilgi yönetimi sürecine ilişkin araştırmaların başlangıç düzeyinde olduğu sektör ve ülkelerde bilgi edinimi ve araçlara ilişkin durumun öncelikli olarak ele alınması gerekmektedir.

Öz: Problem Statement: In order to reach their goals and continue the ongoing learning process, universities, like other organizations, also need the effective use of knowledge management. In universities where research and development studies play an important role, knowledge management is of critical importance. Purpose of Study: In order to reach their missions, universities should have effective knowledge management. Since studies in this area are not sufficient in universities, in the development phase of knowledge management, universities should focus on areas such as how to use knowledge effectively and how to improve the current situation. The aim of this study is to find effective methods for instructors and universities’ boards of directors regarding knowledge management and the use of its tools. Methods: Qualitative research techniques have been used in this study. In this research, 35 different academic staff members from different countries (Russia, Turkey, the UK, and Canada) and from four different universities have been interviewed. The countries have been chosen according to their level of development. In the interviewing process of research, the questions were related to how knowledge management tools were used. The research data were collected between 15 March 2007 and 1 July 2008. Findings and Results: The results showed that knowledge management tools have not been used effectively by the universities of the developing countries in areas such as improvement of knowledge, acquisition of knowledge, sharing and evaluation of knowledge, and determining the deficiency of knowledge compared to the universities of the developed countries. Conclusion and Recommendations: The teaching staff that represented Turkey and Russia said that they were not using these techniques; instead, they only brainstormed how to use and improve knowledge management tools. With the benchmarking method, universities in developing nations had the chance to compare themselves based on their performance. Accordingly, they had the chance to identify the areas that needed improvement, to raise their performance, and to improve the quality of education. By organising visits to each others’ universities, they would have the chance to compare different teaching techniques, and based on the data they obtained, they had the chance to make better evaluations.
