Handbook on the Knowledge Economy, Volume Two

Edited by David Rooney, Formerly Professor of Management and Organisational Studies, Faculty of Business and Economics, Macquarie University, Australia, Greg Hearn, Professor, Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology and Tim Kastelle, Senior Lecturer, University of Queensland, Australia

’The second companion volume of the Handbook on the Knowledge Economy is a worthy companion to the highly successful original volume published in 2005, extending its theoretical depth and developing its coverage. Together the two volumes provide the single best work and reference point for knowledge economy studies. The second volume with fifteen original essays by renowned scholars in the field, provide insightful and robust analyses of the development potential of the knowledge economy in all its aspects, forms and manifestations.’
