Cycle of knowledge Management (A case Study: Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST))

Rational management of knowledge is so determining for contemporary organizations that they are evaluated and judged based on the measurement results of it. In fact, in an era of ever-changing and environmentally uncertain conditions successful organizations are those which continuously generate and organize knowledge, spread it throughout the system and utilize it in their technologies, products and services. As a case study investigating cycle of knowledge management in Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST), attempts here are also made to offer an appropriate evaluation model for this cycle. To answer the five research questions Jashparaʹs four cycle model was employed. The findings show that knowledge organization cycle and knowledge exchange cycle scored the highest and lowest, respectively. The results can have implications as to strengthening cycle and improving correlation of the cycles at university level.
