Abstract：Compared with the prosperous research of firm knowledge management, the research of regional knowledge management (RKM) is relatively scarce, and in the context of information age, region is confronted not only global and technological pressure, but also the market failure from the knowledge production, knowledge circulation, and knowledge distribution in the region. In order to reflect the changing market and to solve the market failure, it is imperative for region to manage knowledge effectively.
In the context of knowledge economy, learning region appears in which the regional development is decided by the knowledge production and its valuation, interaction learning through regional knowledge network, the regional actor reflecting actively to the changing world, and the region is supported by the information technology.
The aim of RKM is to design an adaptive system to strengthen the capacity of and knowledge valuation of private and public organization, and the core of RKM is to enhance the personal incentive to knowledge production and to promote the public efficiency of knowledge exchange and distribution.
The scale of RKM is divided into three by the author. 1) On the strategic scale, the regional blueprint and regional planning are the vital tools for government to manage direction of the regional knowledge production and to promote the effective knowledge demand; 2) On the tactics scale, the institution and practice are the important tools to standard the market relationship between the regional actors and guarantee the actor's power to learn and the actors' fluidity. 3) On the operational scale, the regional government should intervene in the domains, namely the uncompetitive domains, the most advanced technological domains, and the poverty areas. RKM should rest on the principles, namely people-centric, conformation to market rule, consideration to specific region and institutional learning.
