This book discusses the question of how a regional economy can
develop under the influence of an ageing and declining population,
and how regional development policies can help make labor markets
more resilient and more inclusive. As the greatest impacts of
demographic change and policy and fiscal challenges can be observed
at the local level, examples from European, North American and
Asian regions are combined to present a comprehensive, global range
of strategic solutions from different policy contexts. The book
shows how institutions, organizations and communities can enhance
their pathways for sustainable development through the intelligent
management of their demographic transition, and offers a synthesis
of valuable lessons and strategies.

There has been a great deal of discussion on the knowledge economy,
but much of this has been more a matter of rhetoric than serious
analysis. This book is a pioneering effort to address this gap,
using a range of methods and investigating knowledge-intensive
service activities (KISA) in many different sectors. The expert
contributors highlight the changes that are occurring in the labor
force and the organization of work, as well as in the competences
and combinations of knowledge demanded in contemporary occupations.
They provide corporate managers and policymakers with much needed
data and analysis regarding the implications of knowledge-intensive
service systems and the skills required for innovation within these
sectors. By exploring these systems in both traditional and
services industries, the editors point to important areas of action
for improving business practices and human capital development that
are key for business and employment development. This unique book
deploys rich empirical material that will help put KISA onto the
map for researchers, policy makers, policy analysts and
practitioners across many disciplines and professions including
human resources, training and skills development, and procurement.
Providing in-depth and theoretically informed studies, whilst
drawing on cases from many sectors and countries, this compendium
will prove essential for students of business management and human
resource management. Contributors: J. Albors-Garrigos, M. Broch,
