Empowering a State's Development of a Knowledge Society: A Retrospective Assessment of the Karnataka Knowledge Commission

This paper presents an ontological framework for empowering a state’s development of a knowledge society. It is an adaptation of the framework for the role of Triple Helix (TH) in the global agenda for innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability. The adaptation is based on the experience of the Karnataka Knowledge Commission (KKC) in India – Karnataka is a state in India – and related literature. The discussion shows how the framework can be used to advance the vision of developing a knowledge society in Karnataka and elsewhere around the globe.
