Because proper knowledge management will lead to a competitive advantage for organizations and ultimately more success and ultimately organizational excellence. Therefore, this study seeks to identify the pathology of knowledge management in academic centers so that the most important harms of knowledge management in these centers are known and through this, knowledge management can be established in the best possible way.

Research data were obtained through open and semi-structured interviews among the sample group.
