Abstract

Building the knowledge culture is of increasing importance, not only because of its role in providing sound knowledge management and effective knowledge-based economic development, but also because of its support to environment protection, intercultural harmony and human well-being. This paper provides a review of the knowledge culture and its related issues, and introduces a development framework for building this culture. The proposed framework integrates the main knowledge activities of knowledge generation, diffusion and utilization into an activated “Knowledge Circle: KC”. It uses the five-domain structure of “Strategy, Technology, Organization, People and Environment: STOPE” to map and interrelate the various issues associated with the knowledge culture. In addition, it adopts the “Six-Sigma” principles, and its continuous process of “Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control: DMAIC” as an approach to the work toward building the target culture. The paper calls for building the knowledge culture, not only at an organization, or a country level, but also at the global level. It provides its KC-STOPE with Six-Sigma framework for this purpose and strongly recommends its use for future development toward building the target culture.
