Assignment Question
Over recent years some have argued that developed Western economies are now
primarily ‘knowledge economies’. Critically assess this claim.
Approaching the question
To answer this question you will need to reflect on the claims and arguments that
underpin the of the concept knowledge economy – in short, you need to consider the key
components of the knowledge economy and assess the extent to which economies are
actually characterised by these.
These issues are covered extensively in section four and section seven of the Study
book.
You should read extensively the study book (particularly the relevant sections), and log
onto the blackboard webpage for additional readings. I would also encourage you to take
use the Support Forum to discuss your essay both will fellow class mates, and the module
leader.
I also advise that you use the electronic databases (for example, Business Source Premier
and Emerald) in the library to search for academic articles, as individual research beyond
the readings recommended, is always encouraged.
Students are reminded that whilst some questions may very evidently refer to a
particular unit they are all designed to span issues across the entire module. A full
answer to the question will require reflection on the issues that you have encountered
throughout the module. It is important to bear in mind that the content of your answer
will depend on the argument that you wish to put forward in answer to the question and
not solely on the concepts that the question explicitly identifies.
