Prfoject Description

The rationale for launching this study is we are witnessing the rapid development of exciting and innovative market-based knowledge practices, technologies, and business models. As the digital era and the knowledge revolution expand, we presently have a great opportunity and a collective responsibility to our various stakeholders. We need to harness these emerging modalities, and put them to effective and productive use.

The new mindset is vastly superior and more realistic because it treats everyone as active knowledge investors, instead of as mere passive knowledge workers. We intend with this study to make our participants more aware, adept, and adroit, with respect to markets for ideas, intellectual capital, intellectual property, talent, and expert knowledge services. It’s time to shift our strategic thinking from yesterday's backward notions and to fast forward to where the knowledge game is really evolving.

Markets have been an integral aspect of human development since the earliest civil communities. In previous historical economies, markets were predicated on the exchange of land, labour, and capital. Today we are moving quickly into the networked knowledge-based economy. New wealth can be generated from not just the application of knowledge-based technologies, but also from intangible ideas. Markets have been at the centre of innovation, expansion, and growth in previous types of economies. They are pivotal to the success of the global knowledge-based economy. There is therefore great value and competitive advantage to be gained, by identifying practical applications for using and leveraging knowledge markets. As the knowledge era expands and the global knowledge based economy grows, experts are starting to realize that knowledge transfer and exchange is shaped by market factors and forces. Knowledge goods and services, like the trade and supply of other commodities, are also influenced and conditioned by market influences. Knowledge however, is an intangible asset, and as a result the forces that facilitate knowledge exchange may be virtual and intangible as well. They are nevertheless, real market forces which need to be better understood, recognized, mobilized, and leveraged. Those organizations that learn fastest what is actually being done around the world to leverage knowledge markets will be able to take advantage of new ground-breaking innovations sooner.
