Knowledge and Value Management in Theory and Practice

The paradigm change from the industry to the information society has created business models that are rooted in a new way of understanding knowledge and value. Knowledge is transformed into a powerful engine of values and its refinement figures prominently in the corporate production process just as in social consciousness. While to a great extent information takes place on the rational level, knowledge and values would be hardly conceivable without emotions. Neither knowledge nor values are minimised by sharing.

Instead, they gain weight and assertiveness. Accentuating knowledge and values in the name of the European Institute for Knowledge & Value Management (EIKV) is simultaneously its top priority and programme target. Knowledge creates value while safeguarding values. In turn, values guarantee knowledge – the breeding ground and framework for developing and propagating without constraints.

The anthology that has just come out addresses both decision-makers from the private economy and politics and opinion shapers and disseminators and it's purpose is to raise awareness and get people thinking on these issues.
