DKE Part 1
- Knowledge Industry as 4th sector of economy
- 1. Knowledge industries where
output is knowledge
- E.g. business services, ICT's, education, the arts, media, finance
- 2. Knowledge activities in
non-knowledge industries
- Innovation
- Produces: Ideas, Experiences, Meaning;
rather than Objects
- Two Types of Knowledge
- 1. Codified
- 2. Tacit - still a place for F2F transmission
- Convergence
- defn: blurring boundaries between
formerly seperate activities
- e.g. computers & telecomm = ICTs and
Internet; + globalisation = DKE
- e.g. work + leisure blending into 24/7 work
- lowered Barriers to Entry for
services industry
- Networks
- network organisation, digitisation,
digital dsruption
- Increased: JV's; Strategic Alliances;
- Marshall: Exploit external
economies of scale
- industry grouping geographically
- growth of knowledge as result of
observing others (Silicon Valley)
- corporate partnerships share
knowledge and customer base
- Consist of:
- Communicating Agents
(share common interest)
- Unstructured Org
- Not a firm or market
- Collaboration
- Firms look like Network > Heirarchy:
- - squashing the triangle
- - virtual teams
- - quality circles
- -attention to triple bottom line
- - growing importance of shared vision & values
- - rise in stakeholder equity
- - CSR
- Services Sector
Innovation
- knowledge based services now
driving innovation across OECD
- Services = innovative strength
of DKE
- ICT investments adopted, adapted to
produce products & services
- e.g. E-delivery of services such as accounting,
legal work, tutoring etc.
- Internet adoption = business innovation exploded
- a) incr. communication & connection
- b) incr. speed of innovation
- c) greater access
- d) faster transaction processing
- e) decline in costs of collab
- f) e-delivery of servies
- Now consumed ad produced seperately
- Trade over distance now much easier
- e.g. finance (online banking, trading); retail
(shopping), music (downloads), education
(electures) books (ebooks)
- often products result from collaboration
- Rising Inequality / Digital Divide
- Factors:
- destruction of ecosystem
- global warming
- global poverty
- inequality
- war / terrorism
- globalisation lifted
missions out of poverty
- Result of:
- Access to ICTs
- Knowledge of how to use ICTS
- can be BETWEEN countries or
WITHIN countries
- Results in:
- Information Rich VS Information Poor
- Informational poverty correlated with wealth and
income poverty, economic & social opportunities
therefore limited
