There are two groups of academicians responded to the questionnaires: academicians who served in the year 2006; and academicians who served in 2008. Statistical analysis was conducted to the data gathered and collected from the questionnaires. Using the t-test, the study had concluded that the processes of KM do exist at FIIT; and the study can significantly prove that all academicians do practice the processes of KM.
