Description: "Global/local networks coupling together different national innovation systems, and transnationally linking networks of knowledge producers, carriers and users, are becoming crucial components of the global, real and virtual, knowledge architectures and infrastructures. Global and Local Knowledge is a journey of insight and discovery in the emerging global "knowledge village". Perspectives from different parts of the world are presented to produce a new world view on how specialized knowledge can serve as the unit of reference for stocks and flows of a hybrid public/private, tacit/codified, tangible/virtual good that represents the building block of the knowledge economy."--Jacket.
