| | Class number: | 658.4 | | Abstract: | This fascinating Handbook defines how knowledge contributes to social and economic life, and vice versa. It considers the five areas critical to acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge economy : the nature of the knowledge economy; social, cooperative, cultural, creative, ethical and intellectual capital; knowledge and innovation systems; policy analysis for knowledge-based economies; and knowledge management.In presenting the outcomes of an important body of research, the Handbook enables knowledge policy and management practitioners to be more systematically guided in their thinking and actions. The contributors cover a wide disciplinary spectrum in an accessible way, presenting concise, to-the-point discussions of critical concepts and practices that will enable practitioners to make effective research, managerial and policy decisions. They also highlight important new areas of concern to knowledge economies such as wisdom, ethics, language and creative economies that are largely overlooked. | | Contents note: | Knowledge : concepts, policy, implementation; The material, mental, historical and social character of knowledge; Wisdom, ethics and the postmodern organization; Risk and knowledge; Social epistemology : preserving the integrity of knowledge about knowledge; Knowledge and social capital; Knowledge and cultural capital; The organization of creativity in knowledge economies : exploring strategic issues; Analysing policy values in a knowledge economy; Knowledge issues and policy in the operation of industrial clusters; Intellectual property rights in the knowledge economy; Information sharing; Collaboration and the network form of organizaton in the new knowledge-based economy; Exploring the information space : a strategic perspective on information systems; ’Tacit knowledge’ versus ’explicit knowledge’ approaches to knowledge management practice; Knowledge and social identity; Managing creativity in the knowledge economy; Inesperience and inefficiency in information transactions : making the most of management consultants; The knowledge worker : a metaphor in search of a meaning?; How to be productive in the knowledge economy : the case of ICTs; Digital rights management (DRM) : managing digital rights for open access; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=14006 |
