How Can an Educational institution such as NUS Promote Knowl
¡¯Struggling in the era of explosion of information, how schools manage what they give today?¡¯ posed by Thomas H. Davenport, the senior professor of Harvard University. In most of the institutions and universities, the traditional ways of managing staff, students, resources and knowledge seem to be no more suitable for today¡¯s context, as they are unable to cope with the large amount of information in an organized manner any more. Therefore a novel concept, Knowledge Management (KM), has evolved to facilitate learning, research and innovation. Basically, KM is a combination of using technology and changing university culture to benefit the teaching staff and students by providing them with new ways to share and disseminate information with improved efficiency and accuracy. The National University of Singapore (NUS), as one of the most prestigious universities in Asia, has tried very hard to promote KM in the campus, mainly by means of implementation of the school intranet, incentives, mentorship and projects, and the results have been quite satisfying so far.NUS has set up school intranet to facilitate the sharing of academic resources, because Information Technology has been proved as one of important roles to implement KM.
