Four Year ago in 2014 winter ,I got a task to reply on one tender related a model for knowledge management in Government and carried out literature review and identified these concepts
Governance
o Concept
o Governance
is complex process
o Governance
refers to the process of governing societies in a situation where no single
actor can claim absolute dominance
o Governance
means “the process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are
implemented (or not implemented)
o In the words of
Kofi Annan ,”Good governance is perhaps the single most important factor
in eradicating poverty and promoting development”
o Governance
is the exercise of economic, political and administrative authority to manage a
country’s affairs at all levels
o Governance Application
o Governance
can be used in several contexts such as corporate governance ,international
governance, national governance and local governance
Good Governance
o Good
Governance has 8 major characteristics. It is participatory, consensus
oriented, accountable, transparent, responsive, effective and efficient,
equitable and inclusive and follows the rule of law
Knowledge Management
o Basic
ideas of knowledge management are applicable to democratic nations with large
and heterogeneous populations
o The
knowledge of citizens and decision makers is dependent on how information is
acquired ,stored, retrieved ,and analysed
o The
concept “knowledge regime ” has been introduced to capture some differences of
knowledge production in all democratic systems
o Knowledge
Regime are defined as sets of actors, organisation, and institutions that
produce and disseminate policy ideas that affect how policy making and
production regimes are organised and operate
Governance and Knowledge
o Governance
and Knowledge are analytically separable as they refer to different elements of
reality and can be conceptualised and measured .This concepts are in a circular
relationship that makes to measured their interactions
