Significance of knowledge economy • Growth and trade of countries and societies are no longer primarily dependent on manufacturing • The exponential influence of the internet today is persuading businesses/organisations to have an internet presence • This is leading businesses/organisations to re-examine what is being offered from two perspectives, i.e., know why and know how • Units, institutions and in the end societies therefore are beginning to re-evaluate and alter what they are able to offer
Knowledge connotations • Capacity for effective action – Karl Erik Sveiby • Justified belief that increases an entity’s capacity for effective action – Ikujiro Nonaka • Knowledge is information that changes something or somebody – either by becoming grounds for action, or by making individual (or an institution) capable of different or more effective action – Peter Drucker
