Abstract—Despite their role in knowledge formation, growth and communication, knowledge management (KM) is not well understood in institutions of higher education (HEIs). There is a comparatively limited lack of theory and analysis to educate universities and those in advanced education in and outside its operational sense. information is established, cultivated and communicated. For their administrators, academicians and teachers, this has significant consequences. The KM thesis on HEIs encourages researchers and experts to recognise crucial success drivers for sound KM in (and likely beyond) academia. The aim of this research is to identify the impact of Critical Influential Factors of Knowledge Management and Innovation Management on UAE Universities Performance. The findings is expected to show that proper implementation of KM practices and initiatives in UAE stems from a complex interplay of factors and behaviours related to the knowledge environment. The expected implication of this research, it could enhance the knowledge management innovation factors towards UAE public universities performance
