Abstract
In the second half of the 1990s, a surge in knowledge-related activities and industries prompted the emergence of a new paradigm, namely that of the knowledge-based economy. Apparently, the term ‘knowledge-based economy’, which enjoyed much success in the 1990s, dates as far back as the late 1960s. Already in 1969, in his book The Age of Discontinuity, Peter Drucker titled one of his chapters ‘The knowledge economy’. The success of the term, however, only came when it entered the policy arena, often being adopted by such institutions as the World Bank and the OECD.File in questo prodotto:
