An Initial Study of Knowledge Sharing Policies in Higher Education

Abstract

This study aims to explore information related to higher education strategies and policies to support knowledge sharing activities. This study involved 21 informants from several private universities in Java. The results showed that the strategies and policies of knowledge sharing are related to funding support for conducting research, attending seminars or workshops, forming scientific discussion forums that facilitate knowledge sharing activities. Publication of books, journals, or other academic products such as modules, patents, and publication of articles in journals or magazines are the most important knowledge sharing activities and the support of the internet, e-mail, and mobile phone technology plays an important role in knowledge sharing activities. Helping one another, learning from each other, and sharing new information with each other are the main motivations for encouraging knowledge sharing activities, while time constraints are a major obstacle in sharing knowledge among others.
