Ideanomics:
Ideas are now the most valuable economic assets in the world and the key drivers of the world economy. This blog is all about the economics and business of ideas and intellectual property. Ideanomics is devoted to exploring the meaning of “ideanomics” and its radical assertion that the world is driven by ideas. The focus is on the very tangible and practical experiences of working in the idea economy. Ideanomics is about the way that ideas drive economic activity, and particularly how they transform into intellectual assets and ultimately create value. Topics of interest include business and technology innovation, intellectual property and patents, intellectual asset management (IAM), strategic management of IP, technology commercialization, IP valuation and finance, and much more.
The term, “ideanomics” was originally coined by Alan Greenspan in describing a new economic era in which the most important and valuable assets are intellectual rather than tangible. My essay on the concept of ideanomics and how it defines the scope of this blog can be found here. I hope you enjoy the blog and return often to learn and contribute.
Greg Daines:
I have spent my career studying, working on, talking and writing about, and generally sucking the marrow out of the topics of innovation and the strategic management of intellectual property. In my day job I am the founder and CEO of Knowligent Inc., which provides the software infrastructure for strategically managing innovation, intellectual property, and technology commercialization. I am an economist by training (and at heart) and I have an M.Phil. in Management, Law, and Economics from Cambridge University and a MBA from MIT Sloan. I recently finished work on a unique research project that analyzes the link between Patent Citations and Patent Value. Currently, I am serving as a member of the Board of Governors of the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership.
