More DescriptionPutting forward a comprehensive view of knowledge with a specific perspective on place and space, this book provides a new perspective on the globalisation of knowledge. Crossing disciplinary boundaries, the principal agenda of this volume is to open up a perspective 'beyond knowledge'- i.e. beyond the interpretation of knowledge as scientific-technical knowledge. It also introduces further kinds of knowledge and interpretation which influence managements' perception of globalisation and therefore the knowledge which is going global. Exploring beyond the meaning of worldwide knowledge as general open access knowledge, this book also discusses barriers to knowledge, problems of transfer, and the influence of governance and control.
