Knowledge Management: As a Mechanism for Large-Scale Technological and Organizational Change Management (E-learning and ERP) in Israeli Universities

Abstract : Organizational and Technological changes in Israeli universities are taking place without a clear and well-planned model for managing those changes. Universities must adapt to daunting social and educational challenges, in which technology is playing a bigger role than ever before. The model we propose is implementing knowledge management strategies for achieving change management at universities in order to facilitate university's transformation. By doing that, we are establishing a well planned mechanism for managing large-scale technological changes, previously non-existent, and devising a new mechanism based on existing processes in the university's organizational and environmental practices.
