Book Synopsis
In 2022 the shift from an industrial to a knowledge economy is underway. The shift has introduced changes in our essential economic assumptions and models in how markets behave and the nature and sources of capital. The shift is affecting the way we do business and the ways we manage our organizations and operations. Over the past two hundred years, we have developed and perfected methods and tactics to help us analyze and cope with the economic environment. Some of those methods may be adapted, and others must be reconsidered and replaced.
The latest volume of Working Methods for Knowledge Management explores on two well-honed methods - competitive intelligence and strategic planning, suggesting that shifting competitive intelligence from a tactical to a strategic thinking exercise is critical. Furthermore, the authors consider the changing nature of markets, economic transactions, and competition in the knowledge economy. What can we learn from exploring the new economic environment to design a new approach to competitive intelligence?
The authors make a case for strategic competitive intelligence grounded in knowledge capital assets and present a conceptual model and framework for managers and practitioners to consider in designing a new approach. The conceptual model considers eight critical factors when designing a new approach with the text providing in-depth explanation of these factors. By adapting the existing tools and developing new tools to transform this critical practice for the knowledge economy, Strategic Intelligence for the Knowledge Economy offers an indispensable guide for anyone working in the knowledge and business management spaces.
