Global Modelling

Various presentations of the current strategies for economic development increasingly stress the need to abandon the existing model of economy, its redefinition and the necessity to develop a new concept of knowledge-based economy (KBE). Consequently, knowledge is attributed an essential role in stimulating socio-economic development, including also sustainable development. The direction of changes designated by the development of knowledge- -based economy, however, carries with it a number of challenges that must be dealt with and which are gradually being included in numerous sustainable development strategies. Similarly, implementation of certain visions of sustainable development generates the need to make specific assumptions, different from the guidelines defined for the mainstream economy (e.g. taking into account global modelling and system analysis or the law of entropy) (Czaja 2011: 164). Implementation of the preferred directions of development, requires not so much efficient, but proper management, i.e. one which would translate itself onto the plane of decision-making and, subsequently, that of application. Management processes, including management of sustainable development which draws on the principles of a knowledge-based economy, require also taking into account those factors that can really support the sphere of praxis and hence help to shape a knowledge-based society. This article aims at examining the relationship between a knowledge-based economy and the concept of sustainable development, especially in relation to its economic implications. It will, moreover, concentrate on the assessment of practical functioning of a sustainable knowledge-based economy which constitutes an important development strategy in the process of shaping an information society.

The Impact

The economic development in the newly EU countries is oriented to the restructuring of economy also reduction of the differences in the economic development level of various regions. The enlargement of country’s competitive ability and creation of a modern knowledge-based economy are the priorities of the development. This paper concerns the measurement backgrounds of entrepreneurship macro surrounding advantages as a country’s economic competitiveness determinant that applicable for reasoning of the attitudes and decisions of economic development strategy using multi-attribute decision making methods. In principle, the assumption is made that the measurement must be performed according to the approach to every key determinant as a partial economic competitiveness which is subject of essential primary competitiveness macro factors. The conceptual provisions are foremost focused on the measurement of a totality of the national macro surrounding advantages based on the generalized model which reflects the interdependencies of primary macro factors in a system with account of the impact (vector) of each of them. This study is intended to reveal the deterministic measurement possibilities oriented to the reasoned multiple criteria evaluation methods on the basis adopted for the particular task models. The technique supposes the following procedures: the identification of essential primary macro factors, their quantifiable assessment (in points) as primary criteria allowing the different weights of the impact on economic competitiveness and the composition of task pillars. When examining the primary macro factors, the indicators of global country’s competitiveness index established by the World Economic Forum were taken into account. The whole of the typical primary macrofactors selected by three task pillars (those of specific business infrastructure, common economic surroundings, fiscal and monetary policy macrofactors) is presented. The favorability indexes of each pillar (as partially integrated criteria having different significance) and, in its turn, the generalized measure – macro surroundings favorability index have been determined by applying, in particular, Simple Additive Weighting method. Lithuania‘s macro surrounding advantages were evaluated according to the proposed technique: they may be scored at 54 point (in 100 point system).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ee.23.1.1219

Modernization Process

At the turn of century the paradigm of economic development has been changing. Despite the economic instability in the world the process of globalization has not been stopped. The importance of growth factors included in the area of R&D (research and development) increased. These two aspects are also important in the analysis of the economic transition in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Factors from R&D area are now perceived as the key conditions for creating knowledge -based economy and for sustainable development. There should also be noted low potential of CEE countries to generate investments in modern sectors of economy based on R&D. In this context, there is increasing importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) as an indirect instrument for strengthening the modernization process of economic structures and providing the basis for sustainable development. In this paper the subject of analysis is the influx of FDI in Hungary and their impact on the economy of the country in the period 1989–2012. The paper also attempts to answer the question on relations between the level and characteristics of the inflow of FDI and structural changes and economic development in Hungary.

Territorial Planning

Recent federal documents devoted to the Arctic zone economic development highlighted eight basic areas—future innovative centers of regional development. Totally 150 investment projects are planned by 2030, where 48% are designated for mineral resources extraction, 16%—for transport development, 7%—for geological survey, 2%—for environment safety protection etc. At the same time, these ambitious plans should meet green economy goals. This means that territorial planning will have to consider at least three spatially differentiated issues: Socio-economic, ecological and environmental (nature hazards, climatic changes etc.). Thus, the initial stage of territorial planning for economic development needs evaluation of different spatial combinations of these issues. This research presents an algorithm for evaluation of joint impact of basic regional components, characterizing “nature-population-economy” interrelations in order to reveal their spatial differences and demonstrate options and risks for future sustainable development of the Russian Arctic. Basic research methods included system analysis with GIS tools. Accumulated data were arranged in three blocks which included principle regional factors which control sustainable development. In order to find different patterns of sustainability provided by these factors pair assessments of ecological/economic, environmental/economic and ecological/environmental data was done. Independent variable-environmental factors offered different spatial natural patterns either promoting or hampering economic development. It was impossible to assess jointly all three blocks data because the discussed framework of regional sustainability factors attributed to spatial regional system, which demonstrated its panarchy character. Ranking results were visualized in a map where the selected pair groups were shown for each basic territory of advanced development. Visualization of proportional correlation of social, economic and ecological factors was achieved using color triangle method (RGB).

A map presenting areas of potential nature management conflicts risks at the territory of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (region) (NAO) was compiled. Nowadays this region experiences fast economic development foreseen by the Arctic Doctrine of the Russian Federation which includes economic development in different spheres. The 8 basic development zones were mentioned in the Doctrine, one- at the territory of NAO. Development strategy plans include careful nature management and complex approach to economic development tasks realization. This is of vital importance regarding the following: low ecosystems resilience to anthropogenic disturbances, presence of traditional nature management lands of indigenous peoples, pulls of regulating and supporting ecosystem services of microregional dimensions. These facts demonstrate importance of nature management potential risks spatial analysis for territories of pioneer development in NAO. Several big investments projects are planned for NAO for the nearest future. The larger part of investments into NAO economy (97 %) are connected with hydrocarbons extraction development. Priorities concern industrial nature management development (mainly mineral resources extraction), transport nature management (Indiga and Amderma sea ports, railways connecting with neighbor regions, pipe-lines arrangement). Original method of nature management conflicts analysis and mapping was used. It was based on revealing of potential competing exploitation of ecosystem services regulating, production, cultural. System analysis and mapping methods were used as well. The revealed areas of potential nature management conflicts must be taken into consideration during territorial management plans development.

Knowledge Based Economy

A knowledge-based economy is one of the vital components of modern economies. Growth in most of the economies of the world, and most developed economies in particular, are increasingly based on knowledge. In a knowledge-based economy, economic development is dependent on investments in education, learning and training, among others. Universities are today becoming aware of the essential role that higher education plays in the construction of knowledge-based economies. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has adopted the drive toward a knowledge-based economy through focusing on the higher education sector. Saudi Universities are playing a pivotal role toward the Kingdom's transition into a knowledge-based economy and hence achieving economic growth and development. The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the important role that universities play in building a knowledge-based economy through innovation, research commercialization, and technology transfer as economic development policies. The role of universities in building a knowledge-based economy in Saudi Arabia is also investigated. The paper confirms that Saudi universities are considered as a very important entity in the aim for the Saudi economy to achieve sustainable growth and development.
