Abstract

Knowledge management becomes the competitive advantage of an organization especially for organizations that have core competence and core business on knowledge services, especially universities. The university should continously respond to the development of science, technology, art, culture, and demands of society by improving the quality of university obligation in teaching, research, and community service. This study objective is to gain an overview of knowledge management practices at university. The results show that the practice of knowledge management at university is supported by information and communication technology (ICT) in the form of university’s web service facility which enables all knowledge management practices to be implemented. Trying to implement a knowledge management system without technology support is very difficult. Technology facilitates and enables connection and communication. Leadership plays an essential role in the practice of knowledge management at universities. The essential role of leadership in knowledge management is in the form of commitment and the leader's mind set of knowledge management so that leadership will determine the form of knowledge management policy within the university.
