From Knowledge to Entrepreneurship, and to Wealth. The gist of intellectual entrepreneurship in 10 years perspective
We all live in one world, and are often reminded of that through global disasters caused by Nature, by Mankind, or by both of them merging forces for destruction. The majority of us tend to perceive this world as fragmented, separated by natural and artificial boundaries, and not easily accessible to all. In addition to the purely physical, economic and political reasons that constraint our holistic understanding of the world, we impose our own mental barriers upon our global perception and understanding. We build our own road-maps to give us orientation and direction but our maps reflect our cultural bias, and our past-experience. We hear there exist a developed world, and an underdeveloped one. Even the mis-developed world can be identified. Are their boundaries clearly defined, however? Are they not overlapping? We often hear about growing connectivity, growing speed, continuous change, discontinuities, blur, chaos All these phenomena can be neither neglected nor overlooked by those studying contemporary social, political and economic systems. They render categorization and systematization difficult, if not totally impossible. Yet we need some categories just to orient ourselves; at least to start with, or to depart from.
