Add Tag | Summary: | This anthology has been compiled for anyone in business or the public policy-making fields who would like to know what academics and economists are talking about when they refer to the knowledge-based economy. Using articles from a variety of sources, it introduces the reader to all aspects of the knowledge-based economy. The articles deal with important developing themes in the area, such as: the shift in employment from "brawn to brains"; the effect that "knowledge elitism" may have on public policy concerning education and training, wealth disparity and social exclusion; organizational changes brought about by the new breed of "knowledge workers" functioning in the new high-performance workplace; and computing, telecommunications, globalization, and the interconnected economy. |
