Abstract
The main aim of this paper was to establish to what extent the knowledge management project has become a reality at Croatian polytechnics, and how far polytechnics have fulfilled their task. The analysis was based on the perceptions of polytechnic students. In the survey encompassing 818 respondents the emphasis was on the assessment of knowledge gained, and the process of knowledge transfer. The research results have indicated that there are several areas in which additional efforts must be undertaken in order to fully implement the knowledge management project. On the one hand, the obtained results can be used as a guideline for eliminating the noticed deficiencies; on the other, they can be the foundation for formulating future development strategies of Croatian polytechnics. The research also has a wider significance, insofar as the instrument that was developed can be applied to analyse the performance of any higher education system.
