Catching the Knowledge Wave (2001)
Selection of papers presented at the Catching the Knowledge Wave Conference 1-3 August 2001, Auckland, New Zealand. The conference begins with an assessment of New Zealand's unique social, and cultural values, and our evolution as a nation. A series of sessions then outline international trends in economic development, technology, culture, capital and labour flows, organisational change, and the potential for New Zealand if it maximises its strengths through a coherent strategy. Comparisons between New Zealand's and other nations' responses to these trends are examined. The importance of making the creation, dissemination, and use of knowledge a priority goal is examined as a key element in national transition to a knowledge society. The relationship between economic prosperity and social well-being is also assessed in detail. The opportunities for growth and the problems of the "knowledge divide", including access to learning and information technology, are considered. The conference concludes with sessions that seek consensus on ways forward and on how to gain commitment to further action.
