Opis

This book probes the surface of contemporary economic and social change and reveals how the shift to a knowledge-based economy is redefining firms, empowering individuals, and reshaping the links between learning and work. Using economic, management and knowledge-based theories, it describes the emergence of a new breed of capitalist, one dependent on knowledge rather than physical resources.

Recenzje

This book impresses with its breadth of coverage, its research detail and the synthesis of analysis ... it touches upon something important for many people - work, its nature, its shortage for some, its changes and its future direction. Highly recommended
