This book is a major study on Malaysia's move towards a knowledge-based economy in the 21st century. Written by academics at the Multimedia University of Malaysia, it offers an insight into the important areas of the knowledge-based economy that Malaysia needs to address in its efforts to move towards such an economy. Some of these include education, the digital divide, the process of continuous learning, globalisation, human-resource management, banking, research and development, and the Multimedia Super Corridor. This book addresses challenges and provides solutions for a small, open economy like Malaysia. It dares to look at a post-knowledge-based economic era and what lies ahead. An essential must-read on Malaysia's efforts towards becoming a knowledge-based society
