Studies on knowledge management have pointed out the use of knowledge as a way for
developing more efficient performances, due to the involvement of subjects on
organizational processes, recognizing the value of knowledge assets as capable of
making an enterprise successful. The literature in the area of knowledge management
concentrates the discussions on business organizational environment and most of
researches and applications are related to the organizational knowledge perspective.
However, it is noted the existence of other contexts where knowledge management can
be studied and discussed, among these, academic contexts on the scientific knowledge
perspective. This work has investigated the environment of an academic institution with
the aim of studying the scientific knowledge sharing at Universidade Tecnológica Federal
do Paraná (UTFPR). For so, a case study was developed at the institution, involving
professors who met the following requirements: being primary adviser of doctorate
dissertations and receiving Research Productivity Scholarship from CNPq. The data
were collected by means of documental research and interviews were deeply analyzed
using Content Analysis. The results showed that, even though there are not many
studies on scientific knowledge management, the scientific environment already
possesses elements used by KM. According to the interviewees, the process of
knowledge acquisition and the interest in research activities are not tied to their
professional area, but to their individual characteristics. Research is conducted in
defined areas in order to deepen knowledge. Their production is related to the research
conducted by their advisees and, in order to start a new study, they make use of
literature, especially international journals. The communication channels mentioned
were: participation in events, e-mails, trips, face to face contact, participation in boards,
Skype, classes, forums, meetings, phone calls, chat, e-mail list, web page (open access
and restricted by password), lectures, seminars, web server (with password), video
conferencing. In relation to the formal communication, journals are chosen for their
quality and credibility. There are no institutionalized tools and practices for sharing
information and knowledge. It occurs in informal ways. However, investments have been
recently made in tools such as the institutional portal, digital library of theses and
dissertations and institutional repository. The institutional environment has limited
physical space, on the other hand, it offers conditions for carrying out research activities.
They consider contact with peers relevant for the development of their research
activities. |
