Besides, public servants have little chance for self improvement. Now, in an era of knowledge economy, in which computers are in widespread use and the Internet is convenient as well as fast, communication and categorization of information play a more decisive role. Therefore, how to perform knowledge management and application well becomes an important topic for public affairs institutions to promote service quality and administration achievements.
