Abstract
A previous study commissioned by the League of Cities of the Philippines
and funded by the United Nations Environment Programme showed that
Sorsogon, an emerging city in the Philippines, does not possess enough
data to enact sound policies that balance economic growth and
environmental sustainability. To help the city make quality policy
decisions, the author designed a knowledge management framework that
city leaders can use. The said framework was based on the classic works
of Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) and Davenport and Prusak (1998), as well
as publications of the Asian Productivity Organization on knowledge
management in the public sector. The author also provided examples of
specific strategies that Sorsogon City can use to operationalize the
framework.
