A proposal to build a model for knowledge management strategies: Analytical research in a group of private colleges

Abstract

      The research dealt with the analysis of building a model of knowledge management strategies in private higher education. A group of Iraqi private colleges were selected (Dajlah University College, Esraa University College, and Al Kitab University) based on positive philosophy to derive its hypotheses and deductive approach to test them, representing the research community with (1110) observation distributed by (263, 590 and 257) respectively for the three faculties, a non-random (intentional) sample of 258 individual was selected by the Herbert Arken method to represent the community correctly, and exploratory factor analysis was used to test the main research hypothesis. The research concluded that there are three strategies for knowledge management(Survival strategy, Advancement strategy, Creativity Strategy) in the researched colleges and that these strategies have explained 50% of the total variation, which means that there are other strategies his means that there are other strategies that have not been researched or may be due to other factors that were not included in the model, and that the strategy to survival strategy has gained importance among other strategies, and this may be due to the nature of the Iraqi environment and the simulation of private colleges of government universities, and based on The research recommended that colleges should be given the freedom to choose their orientations and business models and not to resort to imitation and simulation of government universities, as well as interest in development and innovation through contracting with foreign universities and achieving twinning
