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

Review from previous edition This is an excellent book that will appeal to the business world as much as the academic. Burton-Jones is to be congratulated on this deft handling of a considerable amount of complex material, resulting in a very readable volume.
