In...This is quite an interesting angle to look at! <br />In general, most of western developped countries are with high individualism and low power distance according to Hofestede(Japan is eastern developed country with high power distance), their KM maturity is surely more; <br />Like less developed countries like south american countries, East european, eastern countries as Thailand and China etc, comparatively these countries are with lower individualism and higher power distance. Their KM maturity is comparatively less since their economy is more based on intense labor, more of manufacture, less know-how industry; more in basic needs level, not yet focusing too much on "self-actualization" level according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The awareness of KM and the capability of doing KM is low, maybe we can say most of them cannot afford KM?<br />In short, in my opinion, KM maturity depends on their economy development. More developed countries are with more KM maturity and mostly they are with high individulism and lower power distance(execpt Japan I can think of, else countries more?)<br />Martin Chenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535145694715049228noreply@blogger.com
