Knowledge economics is the new focus for the 21st century.
-Peter F. Drucker
The purpose of this tri-volume set
of books is to provide timely readings to educate the new generation
of researchers, professors and teachers, as well as industrial and
government leadership professionals. The compilation includes the
most compelling writing from 27 leading author contributors from the
ENTOVATION Network representing Australia, Brazil, Canada, China,
Croatia, Estonia, France, Germany, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Spain,
Sweden, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and United
States.
The principles of knowledge economics should be endorsed as a
revolutionary change - an opportunity to provide a solid foundation,
rationale and vision to substitute something more sustainable than
the old regime of traditional economics. Intelligent and innovative
explorations of computer capabilities optimize individual and
collective work of employees and the entrepreneur. Collectively, the
writings document the evolution of three laws of knowledge dynamics:
the 1st based upon knowledge, the 2nd based upon innovation and the
3rd defining the value of collaborative advantage.
The trilogy is divided into three major volumes - each providing a
facet of the new thinking:
Volume I: Principles/Standards
We are witnessing an acceleration of experimentation and adoption of progressive management approaches at every level of the economic - micro,
meso, and macro-economic. This section will illuminate some of the broader scheme context and sense-making approaches to initiatives of the new Knowledge Economy. Topical areas include trend analysis, modern economic principles, emerging standards, etc.

Volume III:
Policy and Measurement
The policy section outlines how the emphasis on policy guiding procedures for action can effect significant managerial innovations: changing - or better - abandoning the old rules, thereby producing new and viable principles of economic policy. This is a counterpart to the principles of self-organizing systems in that there may be ways to architect, via policy-change initiatives - the potential output of an innovation system.
