Facilitation of the Development and Implementation of Knowledge Management within a Small Japanese University: A Case Study of Transition to a Technology-Reliant Curriculum Framework

By Robert Perkins.

Published by The International Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Change Management

This case study explores the outcome of a pilot program developed prior to the implementation of a campus-wide, online curriculum framework at a Japanese university of education, the problems encountered in making a successful KM transition, and suggestions for improving the effectiveness of KM practices. Seeking to emulate reform movements elsewhere, Japanese higher education is moving toward western models of standards-based education through the creation of curriculum frameworks that require interactive forms of data management. Presented with the challenge of planning, building, and implementing a data management system for campus-wide use, the author discusses how technological challenges are met in small institutions by creating stakeholders in the KM system at student, faculty, and administrative levels.
