Measuring the Knowledge-Based Information Economy, Don Lamberton and Max Neutze (ANU), March 1999
The ABS commissioned Professors Lamberton and Neutze in 1998 to produce a report on the need for statistics about the knowledge based economy and the information and related sectors. The report, published in March 1999, stressed that the move towards a knowledge based economy has pervaded all sectors and that information technology is only one element of the information input, with human skills, organisational capital and managerial change also essential elements. They suggested that the ideal approach would be to measure the information intensity of different activities across sectors as well as obtaining measures of organisational and management change and marketing innovations and associated expenditures on information and knowledge.
