Abstract

Strategic knowledge arbitrage and serendipity (SKARSE) in business management is essential in a knowledge economy. There are various models which support this statement including strategies, architecture, resources, systems, technology, intellectual capital, and knowledge management. The chapter will also provide support to position SKARSE as a direct means for organizations and their respective leaders to navigate through the technological revolution. This includes advancements in information and communication technology (ICT), mobile technologies, and smartphone technologies. The chapter will conclude by linking all topics that have been introduced thus far, both individually and collectively.
