The first phase of the research on the knowledge-based economy is finished. The results will be published in a book. “Managing in the Knowledge-Based Economy” in February 2000 in English. Another book presenting a large part of the results will be published in Polish in April 2000, under the title “Challenges of the 21 century”.
A summary of this research was published in the book: “Homo faber, homo sapiens. La gestion del capital intelectual”, in Spanish in November 1999, another one will be published by the magazine Harvard Deusto in QI 2000 under the title “Getting ready for the knowledge based economy”.
The content of the book is described in the web page: www.learnita.com
You can find a first description of the findings in the article attached.
We can see a real gold-rush in the digital economy. The best talents are hurring up to create the successful companies of the future.
One of the topics of our research is dealing with the 'The Knowledge-Based Business / The Digital Economy'.
You can find a lot of interesting information in 'The Standard'.
We will be watching how the companies are dealing with the knowledge economy. Your are also invited to indicate interesting cases, which we will be presenting here in the 'Knowledge Economy'.
Today you will find an article from Markus Raebsamen, Knowledge Management and Intellectual Capital specialist at Zurich Financial Services in Zurich, where he is presenting some very interesting results of the application of intellectual capital and knowledge management concepts. The title of the article is : 'Enabling Intellectual Capital and Knowledge Growth through Connecting our People'.
The search for best talent in the digital economy is not easy. The best and brightest want to run their own business.
Most of the executive search companies are still in the industrial area.
If you are looking for talent in the IT environment or the digital economy, if you want to invest your talent in this areas, try it with an excellent niche player, who is way ahead of the pack: Inplace AG.
One of the problems we have in the digital area is the shipping of data. A new 'digital asset' carrier is coming to our rescue: UPAQ. This is a high-flyer start-up in Europe with global ambitions in the 'digital asset management'. Watch this company and use it as a carrier for the shippment of your digital data.
The international WHO's WHO will hold the annualy congress in April (13-15) in Vancouver.
Mario Raich, a member of the International Who's Who of Professionals 1999 will be presenting 'Managing in the Knowledge-Based Economy' on April 15.
In the second phase of the research we are focusing on several specific topics which are key for the knowledge-based economy:
The business creativity
The leadership challenges
The new HRM
The future of the executive education
The knowledge based business / The digital economy
At this time three articles are in preparation: “The Business Creativity and Leadership”, “Is there life after life: the HRM in the Knowledge-Based Economy”, “Managing virtual teams”.
We hope you will use our magazine as a platform for the dialogue between the academic research and the business application.
We will apply the principle of 'the right to copy' for this magazine. See 'Additional Information' under '7. Research'.
