Lectures.

banner "commercialisation". In an era of knowledge economy, Science and Technology is the main vehicle for
creating wealth to move up the value chain. The word "value" is now associated with "profitability" — the
higher the value chain, the better it is for a company or individual. In other words, the meaning of "value" is
narrowly understood in materialistic terms. |
