Abstract: Enterprises today are embracing ways of doing business to effectively adapt into knowledge-based economy. The adoption of Open Innovation (OI) has been one of the most appropriate ways to absorb both internal and external potential ideas. Meanwhile, education reform is an urgent need as Vietnam universities have focused on shifting from term-based training to creditbased system as well as moving towards research-intensive universities. The sharing of knowledge among academic communities (learners, teachers, university managers) and external communities (enterprises) can contribute to this shift. The issue of how to establish a barrier-free environment for knowledge flows is a requirement. Based on literature review and quantitative research at University of Foreign Language Studies (UFLS), University of Danang (UD), Vietnam, the paper aims to point out important roles played by various communities and proposes some possible channels through which the sharing of knowledge flows has taken place in a university context. This paper also develops a conceptual model for understanding the knowledge sharing in three main linkages including lecturer – student, lecturer – lecturer and university - enterprise linkage through the lens of OI. This paper concludes with a discussion of recommendations to enhance knowledge sharing in three above-mentioned linkages.
