چکیده:
In this paper we argue about Knowledge Management (KM) and its implications
for academic productivity with focus on models of changes in knowledge
production posited by Gibbons et al and community model of knowledge
management, especially in a transitional society as Iran. Based on the above
argument, we have discussed the relationships between research and teaching
productivity, briefly. Because of the significance of Higher Education and its
relevant institutions (university and related communities) in knowledge
management, we have raised some questions about reform in higher education
and its relationship with knowledge management. Finally, knowledge is
considered as culture or wisdom. In this approach, it is important to pay serious
attention to the cultural aspect of knowledge especially in wisdom.

Applying the Community Model of Knowledge Management Necessary be/orni in Higher Education for I'ransitional Society This community model, which stresses knowledge and culture, is taken from the academic concern and process of social development mainly related to the field of Sociology Of Science, and new Sociology Of Knowledge (Swidler & Ardit, 1994; Zammito, 2007).
, 2003) and highlights that these can not be suitable theoretical frameworks for studies in Sociology Of Science, especially research systems in transitional societies because of two reasons : The first concerns the clear demarcation of the traditional and new mode of scientific production in the models, as well as their insufficient theoretical elaboration.
The second and most important reason why the said models were inappropriate for analyzing transitional societies lies in the nature of the social context in which these changes in knowledge production were identified.
