- Abstract
The article focuses on knowledge management (KM), which considers how best to use knowledge garnered by an organization to improve innovation and performance. It states that KM aims to foster an environment that promotes the use of tacit knowledge to nurture creativity, enhance serendipity, and maximize efficiency. Professor Emeritus Ikujiro Nonaka of the Hitosubashi University Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy is one of the leading figures behind knowledge management (KM). The importance of a national chief knowledge officer (CKO) for the publicly funded research endeavour, who would primarily be responsible for creating similar positions at the regional or university level, to be coordinated with both the stakeholders and the funding bodies is discussed.
