Despite the growing significance of knowledge sharing practices for university success and competitiveness, several barriers make it difficult for knowledge sharing to achieve the goals of universities to deliver innovation and improve the social and cultural enterprise.

This review of knowledge sharing barriers among academic staff provide the university management a starting point to evaluate their situation, towards achieving the vision of 2020 and one of the most important objectives for the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) in Malaysia.
