Telecom Computer Security Databases Handheld Devices Tech. I would like to attempt a 'fresh' perspective on knowledge economy. Assuming we all agree that valuable information is being regarded as corporate strategic assets today, it follows that the same would happen with valuable knowledge. I think economics flow due to supply and demand patterns. Thus it would follow that a knowledge economy should display these patterns as well.
General opinion has it that the demand for knowledge is increasing.
If someone could help me with global employment stats, I would like to see if my suspicion that global employment in the field of technology value add is actually decreasing as a percentage of total employment is supported. Considering another possible factor in the knowledge economy, I see The Economist states that the trend towards individual nations claiming independence increasing. If this trend continues, and Quebec would add to this, then a more highly specialized knowledge economy could be emerging. This could be due to the demand for highly specialized, independence-based knowledge. Broadly speaking, I see the makings of a complex knowledge economy, at some points failing, at other points booming, and who knows what else in between.
