Institutional Knowledge to Institutional Intelligence: A Data Mining Enabled Knowledge Management Approach

Significant amount of knowledge is created in Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) as a result of the academic, research and administrative activities. Deployment of the knowledge generated towards performance enhancement, decision making and process improvement will yield effective results such as enhanced planning and development, better administrative services, improved teaching and learning processes, effective faculty and student performance evaluation, efficient research, and better placements and recruitments. To generate the desired outcomes, the institutions need to better access, analyze and utilize the institutional knowledge for extracting the existing relationships, associations, patterns and trends in knowledge.
