To Become the Nation and the Region for Knowledge-Creating Enterprises

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Knowledge Creation in Public Administrations

Abstract

As emphasized in Chap. 1, the approach to management from the perspective of the theory of knowledge-based management should be subjective and practical, rather than objective and theoretical.

Enterprises here do not mean companies organized for commercial purpose, but a project undertaken or to be undertaken, especially one that is important or difficult, or that requires boldness or energy.
