Globalization, new technologies and evolving organizational and
management models pose a significant challenge to industrialized
countries. Instead of relying on the traditional
techno-organizational paradigm, they have had to search for new
development paths to ensure further growth and social welfare.
Finland is one of the few nations that has been able to meet this
challenge successfully and, as such, can be regarded as a model
case study from which other countries can learn how to manage this
fundamental transition process. In an astonishingly short period of
time, Finland has developed into one of the world's leading
knowledge societies whilst retaining a comprehensive welfare state.
The book traces this rapid transformation from a resource-based to
a knowledge-based society. The authors describe the country's
strengths and weaknesses in the new economy and demonstrate how
Finland has been able to catch-up with the leading industrial
countries by exploiting new techno-organizational opportunities.
Experts from different fields provide rich empirical material on
Finnish industries, firms, regions and institutions, and the role
they have played in the transformation process. The book also
details the business and economic restructuring which was required,
and explores new trends in the country's science, technology and
innovation policy. Embracing the Knowledge Economy offers a
comprehensive appraisal of the management of Finland's transition
to a knowledge society. Business managers, policymakers and
scholars in the fields of institutional economics, innovation
management and political science will welcome this coherent
description of Finland's successful search for a new development
path.
