Knowledge and Conceptions of the Knowledge Society
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper will draw upon research into the conditions under which New Zealand could become a knowledge society by the HUMANZ Knowledge Policy Research Group. This research exists principally as a report commissioned by the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology, Knowledge, Innovation and Creativity: designing a knowledge society for a small, democratic country . This report argues for the foundational significance of cultural knowledge in the formation of a knowledge society. Its key conclusion is that there is no pre-existing model or template which New Zealand can simply adopt in order to become a knowledge society. Cultural history and physical location provide critical parameters for the reflexive development of such a society in a particular place.
