Abstract

This paper explores how to establish a “Department of Knowledge and Policy Development” from the perspective of knowledge management, so as to keep and apply the accumulated knowledge capital in every government department. Through this Department, solutions can be designed quickly to solve problems encountered by the government. This Department is a trans-department organization which can integrate and apply all research and development by different sectors to the drafting, implementation, and modification for every policy. In addition, this Department introduces the organizational transformation that focuses on strategic human resources according to the need of Taiwan’s overall development strategies, integrates the human resources of public departments and government’s entire strategies, and reforms governmental organizations fundamentally. Thus, policy advancement and implementation could be more intact and efficient. Next, the governmental organizations with continuous competitive advantage would be established and serve as the foundation of Taiwan’s soft power. In this way, the unique characteristics of Taiwan and its non-replaceable position could be established amidst fierce international competition. The core issue that this paper discusses is how every department from the government masters and applies the knowledge so that the knowledge can have its greatest synergy – a synergy that can be used to plan the nation’s overall development strategy as well as to implement the national policy.
