Impacts of the Knowledge Society on Economic and Social Growth in Africa

In a world that is essentially digitising, some have argued that the idea of the knowledge society holds the greatest promise for Africa's rapid socio-economic transformation. Impacts of the Knowledge Society on Economic and Social Growth in Africa aims to catalyse thinking and provide relevant information on the complex ways in which the information age is shaping Africa and the implications that this will have for the continent and the world. This premier reference volume will provide policy analysts, policymakers, academics, and researchers with fresh insights into the key empirical and theoretical matters framing Africa's ongoing digitisation.
