Technical Note on Asian Experiences in Knowledge-Based Economy
In the last week of October 2007, the Asian Development Bank released a technical note entitled "Moving toward Knoweldge-Based Economies: Asian Experiences." Apin Talisayon and Jasmin Suministrado contributed substantially to researching and drafting this ADB publication. This publication introduced the concept of "knowledge-based development" or KBD which is a synthesis of two major emerging development paradigms: sustainable development and knowledge management. Unlike the earlier KBE or knowledge-based economy concept introduced by the World Bank, it includes KM applied to the socio-cultural and natural-environmental domains. It captures the broader-than-economic scope that many Asian governments intended when they issued national policies on "knowledge-based society and economy" (Thailand IT2010), "qualitative accomplishments throughout society rather than quantitative expansion of the Internet" (e-Korea Vision 2006), and "knowledge-emergent society" (e-Japan).The publication is available freely from: http://www.adb.org/Documents/Reports/Technical-Notes/Knowledge-Based-Economies/knowledge-based-economies.pdf —
