Book Synopsis The EU and the Knowledge Economy by : Moritz Dressel

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 8/A, University of Twente, 22 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: As the world turns, the European Union and its Member States confront with both internal and external challenges. At the bottom line, however, much comes down to globalization and increased international competition. Trying to maintain wealth in times of lacking economic competitiveness, European decision makers pursue the goal of establishing a knowledge economy. In the following, this issue shall be addressed more intensively. After a brief introduction and clarification of the terminology that the discussion will be based on a general outline on what needs to be done in order to successfully create a knowledge economy will follow. In the remainder, this factual information is to be related to the case of the European Union. Therein, the ambitions and goals set by the Union itself shall be addressed. This will finally lead to the core of the paper, that is, the question of probable economic and therefore social implications in Europe. It needs to be analysed whether the creation of a European knowledge economy would not result in a mere cementation of the current socio-economic division in the European Union. After all, the European Union is not a coherent economic and social area at this stage. So is there a reasonable chance of turning the single market into a broad knowledge-based economy at all? There are huge discrepancies between regions already within single Member States. Some parts are economic powerhouses and do fairly well in international competition whereas others lack behind and seem to be about to be abandoned altogether. Here, the notion of Mezzogiorrni stands exemplarily. Wide parts of Europe have not been acquainted with knowledge intensive production processes so far. An entire focus on high technology industries may therefore put an end to the

Download or read book Towards a Knowledge Based Economy? written by Michael Kuhn and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although educational research advocates the perspective of the learner, who or what is it advocating against? The governments of all European Union countries give learning the most prominent place on their policy agendas; the European Commission wants Europe to become a knowledge based society; companies across the European Union are no longer interested primarily in profit, but want to be learning organisations; social scientists detect the emergence of a learning society and economists advocate a learning economy. What does European educational research do, if nowadays everybody in the European Union wants nothing else but knowledgeable people?

Book Synopsis Territorial Patterns of Innovation by : Roberta Capello
Download or read book Territorial Patterns of Innovation written by Roberta Capello and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume describes the spatial diffusion of knowledge and innovation using a large dataset at the regional level, and presents scientific evidence on the role of knowledge and innovation on regional development. The empirical results support a new design for innovation policies at the regional level, which could help the European Union to achieve the targets set up in its 2020 Agenda. Today, financial capital, general information, consolidated technologies and codified knowledge are readily available virtually everywhere. However, the ability to organize these ‘pervasive’ factors into continuously innovative production processes and products is by no means pervasive and generalized; rather, it exists selectively only in some places where tacit knowledge is continuously created, exchanged and utilized and business ideas find their way to real markets. Territorial Patterns of Innovation provides evidence that, contrary to popular belief, local knowledge intensity does not necessarily guarantee higher innovation performance. Moreover, the book shows that the growth benefits deriving from innovation do not necessarily match the strength of the formal local knowledge base, and that regions innovating in the absence of a strong local knowledge base can be as successful as more knowledge-intensive regions in turning innovation into a higher growth rate. Together, the contributions in this book offer a new understanding of the relationship between knowledge, innovation and regional performance by delving beyond generally held beliefs. It will be of value to regional scientists, industrial economists and policymakers.
Book Synopsis The First Knowledge Economy by : Margaret C. Jacob
Download or read book The First Knowledge Economy written by Margaret C. Jacob and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Industrial Revolution debate has raged about the sources of the new, sustained western prosperity. Margaret Jacob here argues persuasively for the critical importance of knowledge in Europe's economic transformation during the period from 1750 to 1850, first in Britain and then in selected parts of northern and western Europe. This is a new history of economic development in which minds, books, lectures and education become central. She shows how, armed with knowledge and know-how and inspired by the desire to get rich, entrepreneurs emerged within an industrial culture wedded to scientific knowledge and technology. She charts how, across a series of industries and nations, innovative engineers and entrepreneurs sought to make sense and a profit out of the world around them. Skilled hands matched minds steeped in the knowledge systems new to the eighteenth century to transform the economic destiny of western Europe.

Moreover, she advances the ongoing discourse on the role of space and technological proximity in the process of innovation and technological externalities. The book closes with an investigation of the role of technological change and knowledge spillovers in the dynamic growth and “catching-up” of EU regions.
Book Synopsis Is Europe Becoming the Most Dynamic Knowledge Economy in the World? by : Daniele Archibugi
Download or read book Is Europe Becoming the Most Dynamic Knowledge Economy in the World? written by Daniele Archibugi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The article discusses the condition and perspective of the European Union in the knowledge economy and the feasibility of the goal given by the European Council at the summits held in Lisbon (March 2000) and Barcelona (March 2002), that is, to increase European R&D expenditure to 3 per cent of GDP by 2010. The article focuses on two aspects: comparative performance with its direct counterparts, in particular the USA; and intra-European distribution of resources and capabilities. A set of technological indicators is presented to show that Europe is still consistently behind when compared to Japan and the US, especially in R&D investment and the generation of innovations. A small convergence occurs in the diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICTs), the sector most directly linked to the concept of the 'new economy'. In the field of knowledge collaboration, Europe takes opposing paths in the business and academic worlds. Within Europe, the level of investment in scientific and technological activities is so diverse across countries that it does not merge into a single continental innovation system.

Book Synopsis EBOOK: Entrepreneurialism in Universities and the Knowledge Economy: Diversification and Organizational Change in European Higher Education by : Michael Shattock
Download or read book EBOOK: Entrepreneurialism in Universities and the Knowledge Economy: Diversification and Organizational Change in European Higher Education written by Michael Shattock and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How entrepreneurial are European universities? Perhaps more than is generally realised. What are the factors that encourage entrepreneurialism to flourish in research, technology transfer, teaching, regional engagement and internationalization? How do different kinds of HEIs - , comprehensive, specialist, regional or private - , address these issues? What are the conditions which stimulate or inhibit the “academic intrapreneur”? And in what forms does entrepreneurialism contribute to the knowledge economy? This book, which is the product of a major EU funded research programme and is based on twenty-seven institutional case studies, attempts to offer answers to these questions through a series of cross national thematic studies. It considers how national systemic characteristics in financial arrangements, human resource management and institutional governance impact on entrepreneurialism and suggests ways in which individual initiative can be released and universities freed up to make their contribution to the EU Lisbon Strategy.
Book Synopsis Finland as a Knowledge Economy 2.0 by : Kimmo Halme
Download or read book Finland as a Knowledge Economy 2.0 written by Kimmo Halme and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finland is known for its consistent progress in the economy and competitiveness, as well as the egalitarian society underneath it. Yet, the challenges experienced by Finland in the beginning of the 20th century were similar to those experienced by many countries today. Finland emerged as an independent nation in the midst of international economic and political turbulence. In spite of its remoteness, relative scarcity of natural resources, smallness of the home market and recent history characterized by wars and social cleavages, Finland transformed itself from an agriculture-based economy in the 1950’s into one of the leading innovation-driven, knowledge-based economies and high-tech producers in the twenty-first century. The development was rapid, and involved determined action and sometimes drastic decisions by the government and other key actors. Today, at the end of 2013, Finland is facing new types of challenges both domestically and internationally in efforts to maintain its societal sustainability and economic competitiveness. Finland Knowledge Economy 2.0 presents some of the key policies, elements, initiatives and decisions behind Finland’s path into the Knowledge Economy of today. The authors hope to provide the readers inspiration, new ideas, and novel insights. Hopefully some of the lessons learned may prove valuable in another context. Based on this account of the development of Finnish Knowledge Economy, the authors have identified six areas of lessons, each described in detail in respective chapters. The book should not be seen as a scientific all encompassing study, but rather as a “Knowledge Economy cook-book”, with practical cases, links and insights provided for further exploration.
