Reviews

This volume contains 11 essays by business and other researchers from North America, Australia, Israel, Europe, and India, who explore the impact of new technologies on the intersection of human and social capital and assets. They emphasize human capital an assets from a connectionist perspective that focuses on the infusion of the traditional human capital and social and knowledge-based systems, extending discussion of the interaction between types of capital among different actors over different time frames and addressing how it changes based on the application of new networked technologies. They examine epistemological perspectives in the analysis of human capital and assets and the development of the knowledge-based economy; knowledge transfer and value creation in meat producing firms in different countries; the impact bias in how researchers scan their environment, and the role of big data and artificial intelligence; adaptations of individuals to fast-changing environments; sharing tacit knowledge in intra-firm teams; and how knowledge sharing and envisioning processes can have positive effects on human and social capital growth. Others address challenges of the financial industry from the perspective of human and social capital, a new model of collaboration that integrates technology in the Canadian health care system, the literature on examples of human-derived capital, the challenge of measuring human capital, and the impact of CEOs' cognitive biases and perception from external financial constraints on innovative small and medium-sized enterprises' growth opportunities. -- Annotation (c)2017 * (protoview.com) *
