His Topic: “Shaping the new knowledge economy: The uncertain search for policy and regulatory foundations.” From Dr. Melody: “The early developmental stages of the new knowledge economy have been shaped by liberalization and deregulation as many industrial era regulatory policies have been released.  This has fostered rapid ICT innovation and growth, the convergence of technologies and industries, the unbundling and expansion of markets, the launching of a new network infrastructure (the Internet) and increasing financial instability.” Lunch will be served.
