Request for links for "alternative perspectives" in Queensland, Singapore, Taiwan, Silicon Valley (California), Ireland, Denmark and Israel - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hello from New Zealand A friend who is a feature writer for a major New Zealand newspaper is soon to travel (18 Feb to 9 April) to Queensland, Singapore, Taiwan, Silicon Valley (California), Ireland, Denmark and Israel ... to look at how they are responding to the challenges of the "knowledge economy". These places have been picked on the basis that most of them are similar sizes to NZ and mostly with similar agricultural backgrounds. The feature article series (to be published in May) will be on how these countries are fostering the 'knowledge society', entrepreneurship, investment and other factors in economic growth. However, as a subsidiary theme running through the series, the journalist would like to incorporate some alternative perspectives that might question the fairness and sustainability of some of the paths these countries have taken. If any members of this "futurework" network would like recommend people in these countries who would be in a good position to express these alternative perspectives, (ideally with contact numbers and email addresses) please contact me seperately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] vivian Hutchinson - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - New Zealand vivian Hutchinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone 06-753-4434 fax 06-759-4648 P.O.Box 428 New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand visit The Jobs Research Website http://www.jobsletter.org.nz/
