It stresses the need for better coordination among the government, private sector, and civil society to enhance competitiveness and advance economic and social development. Based on a joint study by the World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), this book breaks new ground in its attempt to develop a comprehensive set of national policy responses to the knowledge revolution.
