Hence, emphasizing the eight‐fold factors of knowledge management, items related to each factor have been summarized in Table 2 respectively.
4. Discussion and conclusions
The present research has been a case study done in the context of universities, and the results have been used to obtain principles concerning how knowledge management should be implemented by e‐Governments at universities. Nowadays, e‐Governments try to implement the strategies which can be effective in the current competitive world. One of the most important strategies which have been confirmed by researchers in this regard is the implementation of knowledge management( Djurickovic, 2012; Jain, 2009; Zaharova & Zelmene, 2004). On the other side, in e‐Governments, universities have been recognized as thinking headquarters, because in centralized systems, the university budgets are assigned by the government, it has direct supervision over university ' s affairs, among which is monitoring the appropriate implementation of knowledge management in universities. Therefore, in order to implement the knowledge management, first, it should be assessed by a valid instrument. Then, the knowledge management is implemented through applying the efficient mechanisms of management and strengthening the indexes of knowledge management.
