It is likely to be the case that we will hear more and more of the term 'knowledge economy' in future years. However, we can argued that the term is not perfect and may actually be difficult to pin down and define. Indeed Keith Smith, in his paper 'What is the Knowledge Economy?' described the term as 'rhetorical rather than analytically useful'. This seems to be the perfect summation of the term as it appears vague, extremely fluid and not altogether useful for analysis of the skill levels of jobs being brought to an area; especially if the term is coupled with a lack of definitive data relating to local businesses. This point is echoed by a report from Lancaster University which states that 'it is difficult to substantiate knowledge intensive companies and knowledge workers as distinct, uniform categories' so drawing conclusions about changes to the knowledge economy starts from a very shaky base.
