A knowledge economy benchmark

[Deutscher Titel: Ein Vergleichstest der Wissensökonomie (Text übersetzen: Deutsch)]

Robert Huggins et al.
The World Knowledge Competitiveness Index 2008
Cardiff Centre for International Competitiveness, 2008. ISBN: 1-902829-04-2

Abstract: The 2008 edition of the WKCI compares 145 regions across 19 knowledge economy benchmarks (full data for all indicators across each of the 19 benchmarks is contained in the accompanying Excel spreadsheets). This represents an increase of twenty regions compared to the last edition in 2005: nine from Europe, eight from North America, and three from Asia Pacific. These new regions were selected on the basis of a survey of a wide range of regions appearing to be become more internationally competitive. This year’s report also contains a special chapter on economic development in the three leading Chinese regions.

  Über den Bildungszustand an den Universitäten damals schreibt Francis Bacon, die Studenten “lernen dort nichts als zu glauben: zuerst zu glauben, dass andere das wissen, was sie nicht wissen; und dann, dass sie selbst das wissen, was sie nicht wissen. Aber in Wirklichkeit hat die Leichtfertigkeit zu glauben eine glückliche Ehe zwischen dem Geist des Menschen und der Natur der Dinge verboten und hat statt dessen den Geist des Menschen mit leeren Begriffen und blinden Experimenten verheiratet.”
