Knowledge Management Via Erasmus Programmes

Living in a highly competitive society which is becoming more and more globalised and students evolving into “digital natives”, students deriving from the European Union countries have benefitted from the Erasmus programmes in an attempt to become aware of the common European culture, education and labour market. Under these circumstances, the present paper addresses the issue of knowledge acquisition via Erasmus programmes and how knowledge management is operated as a result of these study opportunities. For our endeavour, we have conducted an online quantitative and qualitative study with the students from the University of Bucharest and Politehnica University of Bucharest who have benefitted by the programme. As expected, the students' answers came to confirm our hypotheses that the exchange programmes are useful in this sense at the same time that information and experience that benefits students should be exploited and managed more in the Romanian academic life for the labour market.
