CLASS ONE

THE RISE OF THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY
• Industrial capitalism  Cultural capitalism
• New renaissance: man&technology at the core
• Innovation and creativity: reinventing goods and
services, new businesses

Knowledge Management 2014

• Informatics boom  Heavy impacts on society and
individual lives besides economics
• PC and mobile devices serve multiple purposes:
typewriters, archives, libraries, post
offices, banks, supermarkets, newspapers, weather
forecasting, TV, cinemas, games, financial
markets, videoconferences….
• Technologies that drive information and knowledge
are at the roots of values:

The Internet revolution

3
• Clients at mouse lenght:
opportunity but also risk
(competition at mouse lenght)

• Closer relation between industry
and finance:
• Expectations drive value
• Value propositions drive
expectations

• ICTs raise total factor productivity
• E.g. P&G savings 20%-30% due to
the intensification of Internet usage

• Debate about sustainability of this
system:
• Security issues
• Privacy issues

• Digital divide

Knowledge Management 2014

• Time is key (and no longer
space): speed; real time
• E-commerce: Web revolution =
Railways : Industrial revolution

Timeline
Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• The essential difference is that in a knowledge economy, knowledge is a
product, while in a knowledge-based economy, knowledge is a tool. This
difference is not yet well distinguished in the subject matter literature.
They both are strongly interdisciplinary, involving economists, computer
scientists, engineers, mathematicians, librarians, geographers, chemists
and physicists, as well as cognitivists, psychologists and sociologists.
• Various observers describe today’s global economy as one in transition
to a “knowledge economy,” as an extension of an “information society.”
The transition requires that the rules and practices that determined
success in the industrial economy need rewriting in an
interconnected, globalized economy where knowledge resources such as
know-how and expertise are as critical as other economic resources.
According to analysts of the “knowledge economy,” these rules need to
be rewritten at the levels of firms and industries in terms of knowledge
management and at the level of public policy as knowledge policy or
knowledge-related policy.
• Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_economy

Knowledge Management 2014

Definitions
• Productive knowledge, once based on
rationality, starts to be socially distributed
• The knowledge of a single firm sums up with
the one of its suppliers, customers, workers.
They all share the productive chain and
knowledge

Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• Crisis of Fordism

Knowledge Management 2014

The turning point
CLASS TWO

KNOWLDEGE AS A STRATEGIC ASSET
• Knowledge as an asset does not obey the traditional economic
laws

Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• Why has knowledge become the first productive asset?

Knowledge Management 2014

Knowledge as a strategic asset:
characteristics and anomalies
Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• First Anomaly:
• For traditional factor, the cost of re-producing
is similar to that of the first production
• If the product is sold, it is possible to
recombine the factors to produce it again

Knowledge Management 2014

Find the differences
Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• Knowledge does not deteriorate with the use
• Knowledge multiplies when shared
• When the traditional factor (work and capital) have
produced knowledge, they have been radically
transformed
• Irreversible change
• Knowledge re-production (e.g. copy, imitation) is a
completely different process than the one of producing it

Knowledge Management 2014

Knowledge economy
• Ex: use of work and capital in R&D activities produces
knowledge and skills that can be applied to a new
product/process
• This would make knowledge comparable to other
factor
• Traditional economy = Knowledge Economy

Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• Hyp: Knowledge is an intermediate factor

Knowledge Management 2014

Knowledge as a strategic asset 2
Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• 2nd anomaly
• For traditional factor, the diminishing return
law applies
• Knowledge is not “consumed” with the single
use, it is renewable at very limited costs

Knowledge Management 2014

Find the differences 2
• The laws of supply and demand dictate at
what price and quantity the economy
operates most efficiently – the point of
equilibrium.

• In a true knowledge
economy, knowledge and information
are demanded and supplied. The
economic system finds equilibrium.
• The shape of the knowledge demand
curve follows the same path as the
manufacturing demand curve. The more
one piece of information is
demanded, the more value the market
will place on that knowledge asset
(directly proportional).

Knowledge Management 2014

• The quantity of goods or services
demanded and subsequently supplied
determine the price of goods or
services.

Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

Supply and demand

19
Equilibrium in the knowledge
economy is achieved when
the supply curve perfectly
overlays the demand curve.
As a result, an infinite number
of equilibrium points occur

Knowledge Management 2014

• The shape of the knowledge supply curve, on the other hand, does
not follow the same principles as the manufacturing supply curve.
• For a manufacturing supply curve, the price of a physical asset
decreases as its supply increases (inversely proportional).
• For a knowledge supply curve, the price, or value, of a knowledge
asset increases as its supply increases (directly proportional).

Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

Supply and demand 2

20
• Entertainment/business value

• Knowledge
• Cost structure of information providers
• High fixed costs, low marginal costs
• Value-based pricing -> differential pricing
• Versioning
• Delay

Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• Information
• Information goods
• Value of information to different customers

Knowledge Management 2014

Basic concepts
Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• Information as experience good
• The economics of attention
• Simon “a wealth of information creates a
poverty of attention”

Knowledge Management 2014

Information
• Side note: In physics, this law is known as the conservation of
information. There also exists the information paradox which some
physicists have argued exists at the singularity of a black hole. As
matter collapses in a field of infinite gravity, does the information
stored in atoms disappear?

• As knowledge is utilized, more knowledge is
generated. Two pieces of knowledge come together to
form new knowledge. The production of knowledge is an
infinite, self-perpetuating process.

Knowledge Management 2014

• The more information on a subject that exists, the more it
is valued.
• Knowledge follows a law of conservation. As knowledge is
consumed, it does not disappear as a physical asset does.
Rather, knowledge has infinite duration.

Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

Knowledge

23
• Different production and business models
• Complementary produts -> complementors

Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• Infrastructure is to information as a bottle is to wine
• Store, search, retrieve, copy, filter, manipulate, view, tr
ansmit, receive
• Systems competition
• Different components are madeby diffeent
manufacturers

Knowledge Management 2014

Technology
• Once you have chosen a technology, or a format for keeping
information, switching can be very expensive
• Own experience?

• Positive feedback, network externalities, and
Standards
• Positive feedback makes large networks get larger
• Demand-side economies of scale: the key challenge is to
obtain critical mass
• Self-fulfilling expectations
• Timing of strategic moves

Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• Lock-in and switching costs

Knowledge Management 2014

Technology and barriers to enter
Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE

• The Digital Divide refers to the gap between
those who “have” access to the Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) and those who
“have not”

  • 19. • The laws of supply and demand dictate at what price and quantity the economy operates most efficiently – the point of equilibrium. • In a true knowledge economy, knowledge and information are demanded and supplied. The economic system finds equilibrium. • The shape of the knowledge demand curve follows the same path as the manufacturing demand curve. The more one piece of information is demanded, the more value the market will place on that knowledge asset (directly proportional). Knowledge Management 2014 • The quantity of goods or services demanded and subsequently supplied determine the price of goods or services. Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE Supply and demand 19
  • 20. Equilibrium in the knowledge economy is achieved when the supply curve perfectly overlays the demand curve. As a result, an infinite number of equilibrium points occur Knowledge Management 2014 • The shape of the knowledge supply curve, on the other hand, does not follow the same principles as the manufacturing supply curve. • For a manufacturing supply curve, the price of a physical asset decreases as its supply increases (inversely proportional). • For a knowledge supply curve, the price, or value, of a knowledge asset increases as its supply increases (directly proportional).

  • 23. • Side note: In physics, this law is known as the conservation of information. There also exists the information paradox which some physicists have argued exists at the singularity of a black hole. As matter collapses in a field of infinite gravity, does the information stored in atoms disappear? • As knowledge is utilized, more knowledge is generated. Two pieces of knowledge come together to form new knowledge. The production of knowledge is an infinite, self-perpetuating process. Knowledge Management 2014 • The more information on a subject that exists, the more it is valued. • Knowledge follows a law of conservation. As knowledge is consumed, it does not disappear as a physical asset does. Rather, knowledge has infinite duration. Lucia Marchegiani CLASS ONE Knowledge 23
