Paperback / softback
Description
This open access book explores the multifaceted interplay of technology, knowledge, and place.
While digital technology is increasingly influencing our way of knowing, conversely it is itself the consequence of human creativity and local social interaction.
Part I analyzes how digital technologies transform markets through artificial intelligence and decentralized blockchain models.
Its contributions discuss novel governance mechanisms, including the responsible use and analysis of big data.
Part II illustrates various ways in which technology supports humanity, be it algorithms supporting complex decision-making processes or the use of robotics in care services.
The chapters highlight that technology's efficiency and potential rely on social norms and human capital.
Finally, Part III shows that digitization is generating vibrant entrepreneurship, reflected in geographically clustered urban scale-up economies, as well as opening up new ways for people to connect with one another, organize civic engagement and enable new forms of labor.
The book offers theoretical reflections as well as empirical cases from the United States, Canada, Japan, South Africa, and Europe.
This volume provides a valuable read for scholars, students and professionals in the fields of knowledge creation, technology and governance.
