Knowledge economy and Intellectual capital
Knowledge management Knowledge economy and Intellectual capital

Knowledge economy Post-industrial era, information age, knowledge economy Shifts in major sources of wealth creation in society General motors, health insurance, spending on steel High unemployment rate (Google and Apple) Patents Patent troll is a pejorative term used for a person or company that enforces its patents against one or more alleged infringers in a manner considered (by the party using the term) unduly aggressive or opportunistic, often with no intention to manufacture or market the patented invention. The move from an industrially-based economy to a knowledge or information-based one in the 21st Century demands a top-notch knowledge management system to secure a competitive edge and a capacity for learning. For several decades the world's best-known forecasters of societal change have predicted the emergence of a new economy in which brainpower, not machine power, is the critical resource. But the future has already turned into the present, and the era of knowledge has arrived. --"The Learning Organization," Economist Intelligence Unit

Experience economy A good example is Starbucks. Starbucks sells more than just coffee. They present themselves as the “third space” (between home and work); this is their why story, then comes how they do it (comfortable chairs, lots of power outlets, tables at which people can work) and finally what they do (fresh coffee).

The classification for each stage in the evolution of products is:
A commodity business charges for undifferentiated products. A goods business charges for distinctive, tangible things. A service business charges for the activities you perform. An experience business charges for the feeling customers get by engaging it. A transformation business charges for the benefit customers (or "guests") receive by spending time there.

Examples of structure capital
3M has a rich set of structures and systems to encourage resourcefulness: Seed Capital: Inventors can request seed capital from their business unit managers; if their request is denied, they can seek funding from other business units. Inventors can also apply for corporate funding in the form of a Genesis Grant. (The Post-it was funded by a Genesis Grant.) New Venture Formation: Product inventors must recruit their own teams, reaping the benefit of 3M’s many networking forums as they seek the right people for the job at hand. The recruits have a chance to evaluate the inventor’s track record before signing up. However, if the product fails, everyone is guaranteed their previous jobs. Dual-career ladder:: Scientists can continue to move up the ladder without becoming managers. They have the same prestige, compensation, and perks as corporate management. As a result, 3M doesn’t lose good scientists and engineers only to gain poor managers, a common problem in the manufacturing sector.
