What is knowledge?

Knowledge consists of cognitive states needed to interpret and otherwise

process information.

How can ICT help to share knowledge?

ICT can share knowledge with the use of communication technologies.

What do you think about this fact “Information and communication

technologies (ICTs) are also facilitating a rapid globalisation of economic
activity”

I think it is true, because Knowledge has always been a factor of production, and a
driver of economic. The digitization of information and the associated pervasiveness of
the Internet are facilitating a new intensity in the application of knowledge to economic
activity.

What is Innovation?
Innovation fundamentally means coming up with new ideas about how to do
things better or faster, it is about putting new ideas to work in enterprise and
having a skilled workforce that can use those new ideas.
