Knowledge Sentinels: Get rich being an academic, change your life!
In today’s $75 trillion global knowledge economy, the world's 17 million faculty members, academic researchers, and scientists who are creating new knowledge capital and safeguarding existing knowledge should be rich and in control! Are you an academic striving for adequate rewards for your invaluable contributions to the global knowledge economy? Do you search for ways to navigate the intricate landscape of intellectual property rights and safeguard your innovative ideas? "Knowledge Sentinels" is here to empower you!
The concept of “Knowledge Sentinels” stems from the author's long experience with the exigent challenges faced by academics. The motivation behind this guide is to elucidate the multifaceted factors that underpin this inequity and foster an intellectually-rigorous discourse on the value of intellectual property and its custodians in academia. The book’s Introduction seeks to establish the foundational premise of our inquiry. Drawing from realistic case studies and analysis of emerging technology trends, the book provides a guide to applied intellectual property management in higher education and research institutions. The author proposes a novel framework for IP rights management in academic institutions. MERC stands for Manage, Evaluate, Regulate, Capitalise, which are the four procedural work frames that any research group, R&D service company, or academic institution needs to grow their knowledge capital.
