Abstract

The Wikipedia definition of knowledge, also cross-referencing to the Oxford English dictionary, lists as a crucial element of knowledge “the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.” The Wikipedia definition furthermore associates knowledge to “expertise, and skills” that a person may have gained either by experience or through education. Currently, there exists a general belief (indicated by numerous publications) that knowledge becomes increasingly important for society, economy, and also democracy. Advancements and a sustainable development of society and the economy appear unlikely without leveraging and enhancing knowledge. This adds plausibility for using concepts such as the knowledge-based society, the knowledge-based economy, and the knowledge-based democracy (Carayannis & Campbell, 2009, p. 224). Perhaps there is even a shift not only to speak of the knowledge-based society and economy but of a knowledge society and a knowledge economy per se that is being endogenously driven by knowledge. The concept of a knowledge democracy consequently complements such propositions.

Fußnoten
2
In that understanding, emotional competence may crosscut social competences and personality.
 
3
The OECD is the “Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.”.
 
4
In the context of this analysis, we use “knowledge creation” and “knowledge production” as interchangeable terms. A possible distinction may emphasize that knowledge creation is more fundamental and basic (more overlapping with basic research) than the knowledge production.
 
5
We want to quote, how the OECD (1994, p. 29) defines basic research: “Basic research is experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge of the underlying foundation of phenomena and observable facts, without any particular application or use in view.” This definition the OECD repeats unchanged in 2002 (OECD, 2002, p. 30).
 
6
Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (2000, p. 116) use the term of “pure science” for describing the post-1945 university system in the USA, which largely behaved according to the principles that were formulated and postulated by Vannevar Bush (1945). Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (2000, p. 116) speak in this context also of an “ideology of pure research.”

In a different book section, Lundvall (1992, p. 15) says: “As pointed out, we do not assume the process of innovation to be exclusively localized inside national borders. On the contrary, we recognize that the process of innovation has increasingly become multinational and transnational reflecting, for example, R&D cooperation between big firms based in different nations.”

Nelson (1990) describes or paraphrases capitalism as an engine of growth. As Nelson (1990, p. 193) states at the beginning of his article: “Economists, from Marx, to Schumpeter, have touted capitalism as an engine of technical progress. But what kind of an engine is it? How does it work? What are the strengths and weaknesses?”
 
9
We can speculate, to which extent research about the European Union (EU) and concepts such as a multi-level governance of the EU (Bomberg & Stubb, 2003, p. 9; Hooghe & Marks, 2001) helped inducing and creating the concept of multi-level systems of innovation (Carayannis & Campbell, 2006, p. 11).

Hemlin et al. provide the following definition for CKEs (quoted from the slide page number 3 of a PowerPoint presentation: http://​www.​spp.​gatech.​edu/​conference2006/​PPTs/​Hemlin_​7E.​pdf, retrieved November 16, 2009), creative knowledge environments = “… those environments, contexts and surroundings, the characteristics of which are such that they exert a positive influence on human beings engaged in creative work aiming to produce new knowledge or innovations, whether they work individually or in teams, within a single organization or in collaboration with others.”
 
12
Consequently, the influential book The New Production of Knowledge (Gibbons et al., 1994) also could have been titled as The Creative Production of Knowledge.
