Abordarea socio-economică a activităţii autorităţilor publice prin prisma managementului cunoaşterii

Abstract

The socio-economic approach to the activity of public authorities (PAs) from the knowledge (-based) management (KM or KBM) perspective is a further development of the New Public Management (NPM) paradigm that dominated in the 1980s and 1990s and of the electronic (e-) government concept typical for the 2000s. In the 2010s the paradigms of New Public Governance (NPG), transformational (also digital-era, joined-up, network(ed)) governance, learning organization (LO), organizational learning (OL), lifelong learning (LLL), and intelligent or knowledge (-based) governance are expected to come into play. KM is a multidisciplinary field of study, because its object is the organization-people-knowledge triad. Knowledge (k-) governance is KM in public administration (PA) and has certain objectives, key functions, benefits, and preconditions for implementation. PA must and can play a unique and a major role in the intellectualization of the society and economy, i.e. in building, exploring, and developing collective (societal) intelligence.
