From
Learning to Earning
In the Age of Knowledge Innovation
In our rapidly expanding market place in knowledge
transfer and growing intensity in global competition it is imperative that
both employers and employees actively engage in adopting the important
innovations in corporate learning currently taking place. Two key questions
arise as follows:
-
for the employer the question is about how the
company can make use of such learning to sustain and build its
intellectual equity capital to attract new business, retain existing
customers and satisfy investors and other stakeholders
-
for the employee the question is about how one
sustains and develops competencies or personal capital to improve one's
employability and earning power
These may appear to be two very different questions, but
this book demonstrates the essential interdependent learning and earning
relationship that should exist if the individual and company are both to
succeed economically and socially. In essence they are both dependent upon
creating value from acquired knowledge through new learning.
The 10 chapters provide a compelling case of the
potential of the corporate university concept at creating knowledge driven
solutions for organic business development. The book discusses the key
aspects in taming that highly dynamic concept to produce a blueprint code of
professional practice where quality lifelong learning
can be managed to connect productivity with quality lifelong earning.
WHO IS THE BOOK FOR?
This book is for employers and employees and their
mentors, coaches and business advisers in the world of work across the
private, public and voluntary sectors.
