| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 工業工程學研究所 === 89 === In this newly developed knowledge-based economic era, the innovation and accumulation of knowledge has already been a significant index to evaluate the extent of national economic development and competitiveness. While confronting the impact of information technology, domestic businesses ought to perform consistent innovation and be provided an equally competitive environment by government to enhance business competitiveness. Therefore, the government should strengthen present software and hardware infrastructure and positively scrutinize governmental policy to possess adequate capability to meet oncoming challenges while not losing track of the ultimate objective of economic growth in this knowledge-based era.
In the last 80s, renowned economist Romer (1986, 1990) present the endogenous growth theory to argue that the positive externality and scale economy of human capital has empirical evidence to make out the potential discrepancy between research result and actual data within the neoclassical economic growth model. In 1996 and 1997, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) present research paper pinpointed in the topic of “knowledge for development”. In this paper, it put much emphasis on the phenomenon of high economic growth. Therefore, all governments should drastically reevaluate and reestablish necessary official procedure and governmental policy from the perspective of knowledge-based economy.
Within the perspective of economics, the positive externality of knowledge not only provides the opportunity to facilitate governments to operate in the market economy system, but also play an important role in the process of knowledge production, circulation and accumulation. Before embarking on feasible consideration of governmental policy, we have to comprehend all properties of knowledge products within the telecommunication and information technology fields in this highly developed world. On the other hand, we need to reconsider reasonable countermeasures to maintain the phenomenon of equal competition and avoid the occurrence of market failure (system failure). Thus, the research tries to elucidate the appropriate role of government from knowledge management perspective in this knowledge-based economic era.
