Long description
We glibly talk about living and working in the knowledge era. Do we know what this means? Do we know knowledge? Do we know what we know or don’t know? In the world of increasingly rapid change we are confronted with problems and opportunities guided by the confluence of several economies – industrial, information, bio-, nano- and hydrogen, and others to come. We are challenged by the rapids of decision making where knowledge expands faster than we can learn, changes shape depending on who owns it and disappears in its own volatility. This title takes the reader on a journey through knowing, generating, finding, selecting, keeping, measuring, managing, networking, valuing, protecting, selling and respecting knowledge.
