TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE NEW ECONOMY

https://doi.org/10.37493/2308-4758.2021.1.7

Abstract

Introduction. The question on the role of knowledge in the economy was raised at the beginning of the twentieth century, but there is still no comprehensive typology of knowledge in terms of improving the policy of regional development. This article fills this gap by summarizing and critically analyzing ideas about different types of knowledge that are of value and are the most important factors of production in a modern, innovation-oriented economy. The purpose of the study is to identify existing types of knowledge and determine their characteristic features, based on the logic of dual perception of knowledge with an object-process approach. Materials and methods of the research. The article contributes to the enhancement of theoretical and methodological ideas about the typology of knowledge at the intersection of economics and economic geography. The study uses the method of structural review, defragmenting the types of knowledge by semiotic characteristics, by stages of the life cycle, by timeline, by openness of access and freedom of use, by propositionality and degree of complexity. Research results. The theoretical and methodological specificity of registering knowledge as an object and process with respect to territorial, institutional, functional, organizational, structural, temporary, and cognitive factors is shown. The lack of tools for accounting for different types of knowledge at the regional level is revealed. Registration of the created and direct evaluation of accumulated knowledge of various types is possible only with its codification, while the assessment of implicit knowledge is carried out indirectly. Conclusion. The results of the study confirm the importance of the diversity of knowl- edge in the new economy and the presence of signiicant differences between different knowledge types, which should be taken into account when developing approaches and methods to managing the intellectual capital of regions.
