  1. Lessons from Japan and What Thailand should do to Promote Knowledge Economy by Prof.Dr.Srisakdi Charmonman President of the Computer Association of Thailand under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty the King, charm@ksc.au.edu www.charm.au.edu May 19, 2006

  2. Data Database Information Knowledge Knowledge Base

  3. 1) Introduction • Most people credit Peter Drucker with the term “knowledge worker”. • Importance is placed on computer literacy. • In the United States, Canada and Japan, it is now estimated that over 60% of production is created by knowledge workers.

  4. 1) Introduction (1) Definition of Knowledge Economy from web.innovation.sa.gov.au: An economy characterized by the recognition of knowledge as a source of competitiveness, the increasing importance of science, research, technology and innovation in knowledge creation, and the use of computers and the Internet to generate, share and apply knowledge.

  5. Definition of Knowledge Economy (cont.) From web.wikipedia.org: The Knowledge Economy refers to the use of knowledge to produce economic benefits. The phrase came to prominence in New Zealand in the mid-to late-1990s as a way of referring to the manner in which various high-technology businesses, especially computer software, telecommunications and virtual services, as well as educational and research institutions, can contribute to a country's economy.

  6. 2) The kinds of Knowledge • •The Kinds of Knowledge : • Know-What is knowledge about facts. • Know-Why is knowledge about world, society and human mind. • Know-Who is Knowledge of who knows what and who can to what. • Know-Where and Know-When are important in a flexible and dynamic economy. • Know-How is Knowledge about skill and Practice.

  7. 3) Characteristics of The Knowledge Economy • There is an enormous increase in the classification of knowledge with networks and the digitalization of information, leading to its increasing commodification.

  8. Characteristics of The Knowledge Economy (Cont.) • Increasing classification of knowledge leading to : - A shift in the balance of the stock of knowledge. - A relative shortage of implicit knowledge.

  9. Characteristics of The Knowledge Economy (Cont.) • • Classification promoting a shift in the organization and structure of production. • Information and communication technologies increasing the diffusion of information over re-invention, reducing the investment required for a given quantum of knowledge.

  10. Characteristics of The Knowledge Economy (Cont.) • • Increasing rate of knowledge stocks to support economic growth. Knowledge is not necessarily exhausted in consumption. • Classification is producing a convergence, bridging different areas of competence, reducing knowledge dispersion, and increasing the speed of turnover of the stock of knowledge.

  11. Characteristics of The Knowledge Economy (Cont.) • • The innovation system and its ‘knowledge distribution power’ are critically important. • The increased rate of codification and collection of information are leading to a shift in focus towards tacit skills.

  12. Characteristics of The Knowledge Economy (Cont.) • • Learning is increasingly central for both people and organizations. • Learning involves : - Education - Learning-by-doing - Learning-by-using - Learning-by-interacting.

  13. Characteristics of The Knowledge Economy (Cont.) • • Learning organizations are increasingly networked organizations. • Increasingly important skills : - Initiative - Creativity - Problem solving - Openness to change.

  14. Characteristics of The Knowledge Economy (Cont.) • • The transition to a knowledge-based system may make market failure systemic. • A knowledge-based economy is so fundamentally different from the resource-based system of the last century that conventional economic understanding must be re-examined.

  15. 2. The Factors to Promote Knowledge Economy • Policy • Management • Infrastructure • Measurement

  16. 1) Policy • Require new thinking and approaches by policy makers, senior executives and knowledge workers. • Aim to Develop employees to be knowledge workers and introduce their skill to the colleagues. • Changing as demands and mechanisms have emerged to encourage knowledge flows across sectors.

  17. Policy (Cont.) • Governed by different Institution, Norms and Policy set. • Support workers and other people about life-long learning as follow: • Formal education ; Universities and others Institutes • Live-Long Learning; eLearning

  18. 2) Management • The investment in knowledge enhancing activities need strong advocates at senior levels. • CKO (Chief Knowledge Officer) at higher management level : • Creating KM (Knowledge Management) systems for workers. • Building a Learning organization • Using technology to promote business.

  19. 3) Infrastructure • Technology • Communication

  20. (1) Technology • Government to develop technology to support the private sector, and public sector research organizations, to be innovative and able to deploy knowledge. • Private sectors to support technology in their organizations to create skill and techniques to be apply technical knowledge. • Knowledge leaders to make the workers become expert workers.

  21. Technology (Cont.) • Develop software to support skill for the knowledge workers • Develop websites to support resources for knowledge workers to create intelligent capital and new innovation for their organizations.

  22. What kind of website ?

  23. (2) Communications • Develop networking and connectivity to bring the whole world into your hand. • Develop equipments to support access to the Internet.

  24. Internet Connective in Thailand 2006

  25. Communication (Cont.) • Total international bandwidth from Thailand as of May 2006 : 8,579 Mbps. • (Assumption University 64 Mbps.)

  26. 4) Measurement • The knowledge leaders have developed : • - Measurement system • - Combination of systems - New and better methods for measuring knowledge.

  27. 3. Composition of the Knowledge Economy system • Policy Implications • Business Implications • Technology Implications

  28. 1) Policy Implications • The measures of economic success must be supported for knowledge-workers. • Focus on infrastructures for developing knowledge; • - Acts as a knowledge-based companies • - Focus on knowledge-based industries • - Knowledge-networking.

  29. 2) Business Implications • Recognize the resource knowledge from business bottom line. • Develop measures of corporate performance based on knowledge. • Build the learning organizations.

  30. Business Implications (Cont.) • Provide technology infrastructure to create a network sharing with effective Internet settings and business practices.

  31. 3) Technology Implications • Provide networking to link to other countries • Using appropriate technology and methods, virtual marketplaces and virtual organizations • Diffusing knowledge for people.
