The ability to manage knowledge is crucial in today's knowledge economy. The creation and diffusion of knowledge have become increasingly important factors in competitiveness. More and more, knowledge is being thought of as a valuable commodity that is embedded in products (especially high-technology products) and embedded in the tacit knowledge of highly mobile employees. While knowledge is increasingly being viewed as a commodity or intellectual asset, there are some paradoxical characteristics of knowledge that are radically different from other valuable commodities. These knowledge characteristics include the following:
Using knowledge does not consume it.
Transferring knowledge does not result in losing it.
Knowledge is abundant, but the ability to use it is scarce.
Much of an organization's valuable knowledge walks out the door at the end of the day.
The objective of this research paper was to make understanding about applications of knowledge management in various areas of university research and higher education such as University Research, Administration and Management, Examination Department, Institutional Repositories and Library Management and E-learning and Virtual learning among Students, Research scholars, National and International universities, Research Institutes, Research and Development Centers, Knowledge Management Professionals, Knowledge Management System, ERP Vendors, Database managers, knowledge Management Research Groups, Knowledge Transfer Networks and so on.
