The broad label “knowledge economy” covers a wide array of activities and interpretations. At least three lines of research fall under this umbrella.
- New science-based industries and their role in social and economic change. Theoretical knowledge is a source of innovation.
- Analysing how much knowledge-intensive industries contribute to growth in productivity.
- Role of learning and continuous innovation inside firms.
Knowledge economy: the production and services based on knowledge-intensive activities that contribute to an accelerated pace of technological and scientific advance as well as equally rapid obsolescence.
