The university's main objectives go around excellence in teaching, research activities and both university and community services. These pillars are supported by a number of important resources and functional systems such as complex student's life-cycle management system that must be considered in any strategy development process. This paper discusses the role of the big data in the smart university campus architecture and strategies development process, and how it could be utilized in various stages of strategy development. Additionally, it highlights the university's ICT architecture, the foundation of the knowledge management system that has been implemented, to help the university harness knowledge out of the big data that is generated by various parties and scattered systems around the university. Furthermore, the chapter highlights some of the successes on how, with help of a BI tool, the university was able to make critical and quick decisions by tapping into the big data of more than 35 years of student records; one of the pillars of the smart university strategy.

The main objective of this chapter is to raise awareness and promote sustainable education through knowledge management practices, as a positive step towards meeting sustainable development goals. The chapter discusses various topics related to the various definitions of sustainability and knowledge management and the benefits of integrating these concepts into higher education curricula. Based on the theoretical analysis of the literature, this chapter proposes several recommendations as well as directions for future research. One recurring theme in the sustainable education literature is the need for problem-solving and critical thinking skills; which mandates that HEIs need to revise their curricula to incorporate these skills. This chapter also looks more closely into the use of ICT as a sustainable knowledge tool and the various benefits as well as disadvantages arising from its advancement.

Universities are a particular public entity where knowledge is a critical competitive resource. One of the main economic and social aims of universities is the generation of new knowledge for supporting innovation activities of knowledge capital-intensive industries. For ensuring the implementation of effective knowledge transferring process, management control systems tools, typically adopted in the private businesses sector, may effectively be used in public sector. In particular, the adoption of strategic performance measurement systems (SPMS) become important in public sector because it should affect organizational performance. Management studies have not taken into account explicitly the role of the SPMS in the public sector. This study aims to fill these gaps and demonstrates how SPMS influence organizational performance by supporting the strategic plan implementation of Ca' Foscari University of Venice. More specifically, the authors analyze how the use of SPMS facilitate strategic control and the mobilization of strategic organizational knowledge into a coherent strategic intent.

The genuine and actual conditions of operation of public institutions in Romania should determine the creation of behaviors oriented on development of organizational learning culture. The objectives of the chapter are focused on identifying the use of knowledge management concept in local public institutions in Romania, as well as its importance and impact in transforming them into innovative learning organizations. The theoretical part of the chapter comprises the analysis of the field literature, presentation of the definitions and characteristics of the notions of knowledge management, learning organization, the concept of innovation, presentation of the importance of developing interrelations triggering efficient and effective organizations. Concerning the case study, the chapter aims to identify the extent to which the knowledge management concept exists in three local public institutions in Romania, how knowledge is managed, if there is organizational learning, if they are learning and innovative organizations, as well as the interdependencies.
