Knowledge management education, adoption and research in Hong Kong : the KMRC perspective

Abstract

Hong Kong has accelerated its transformation into the new economy in a big way. Established in 2007, The Knowledge Management Research Centre (KMRC) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has played a pivotal role in this transformation with its educational program, research, and professional services. This talk will comprehensively introduce the centre, outline its mission, activities and accomplishments especially in establishing the region's only blended E-Learning and Face-to-face master degree in Knowledge Management, various research projects on knowledge technologies, knowledge audit and strategy formulations. Major KM projects in the public and private sectors will be shared to substantiate KMRC's principle of treating the real world as an "open KM laboratory".
