Focusing on the dynamics of the knowledge economy, this volume
provides an overview of the knowledge creation capabilities of
economies, an examination of their growth performance and a
detailed analysis of how the creation and connection of knowledge
is becoming the key means of growing productivity.
Huggins and Izushi introduce the concepts of network capital and
knowledge communities to explain and understand how knowledge is
connected and transferred across firms, organizations and
economies, whilst taking issue with accepted concepts of business
clusters, social capital and endogenous growth theory. This book
demonstrates how the knowledge economy has fundamentally shifted
the way in which the values of both firms and economies are
measured and points to the way in which the knowledge race has
become global due to increasing parts of the developing world being
integrated with the developed world through international trade and
investment.
This book will be of interest to students and researchers
engaged with the knowledge economy, management and economic
geography, as well as managers and public policy makers interested
in competitiveness and economic development.
