The knowledge-based economy (KBE) is widely considered to be the foundation of the next stage of economic growth, following agriculture, manufacturing and services. Countries seeking to enter the KBE must take care to ensure that their resources ‘particularly human resources ‘ are willing and able to fulfil the roles requested of them. That in turn means that countries must be aware of what challenges and difficulties they will face in taking this next step in development. This paper attempts to outline at the macro-social level the issues involved in this process with a view to identifying an agenda of state-level developmental goals to be tackled.

This articles discusses the importance of converting knowledge into realizable output, which can subsequently be patented. Patenting, in itself, is already the result of a completed and difficult process. The importance of patenting is not only advantageous for the author patent, but also for the whole society and knowledge-based economy. In this article, we explain not only the effect of patenting on the economy as a whole, along with its advantages, but also possible acceleration in process of patenting. Universities rely on the important aspect of innovation and patenting, whereas innovation and patenting alone support the economic growth. Lack of projects covering patenting process may cause less outputs of innovation. Projects which support the development of innovation and start-ups have big potential in reducing unemployment and increasing the motivation of new foreign investors.

Level Of Satisfaction

Fairly recently numerous technological applications have emerged, claiming to cover nearly every “traditional” human resources management (HRM) activity; not only complementing it, but often even substituting it (Martin, Alexander, Reddington, & Pate, 2006). In order to meet the demands of today’s knowledge-based economy, companies must maximize the potential and productivity of their employees, a goal towards which HRM information systems in general and e-HRM in particular could help. Some of these applications even claim that they can achieve synergies that were not possible before, by integrating all the HRM functions under one software suite, and combining results and feedback from all their different applications. In this article, we study the adoption of e-HRM in Europe, looking at three mail elements: the extent of e-HRM deployment, the characteristics of the companies that adopt e-HRM, and the level of satisfaction from the system.

The development and promotion of the strategic goal of the European Union (EU) to become a competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy and society (Lisbon European Council, 2000) can only be achieved with relevant technological infrastructures together with people equipped with necessary skills and competencies (European Commission, 2002). This must be supported by a well-structured initial education, constantly updated by a continuous lifelong learning programme, so that people can face the challenges of a series of new jobs, maybe separated by spells of short-term contracts or even unemployment. This continuous education programme should be available to all citizens regardless of their age and social or economic status. In a knowledge-based society, education and training are among the highest priorities because they are central to the creation and transmission of knowledge and are a determining factor for societal innovation. It is also recognized that human resources are the main assets for every organization and country (Lisbon European Council).

The changes brought about by trends such as globalization, technological developments, and knowledge-based economy, and the speed of these changes are forcing the enterprises to create more innovative ways of doing business and business processes. This rapid change has also affected and altered human resources departments' way of business. In this chapter, the changes in human resources management functions and applications with the effect of technology during this time have been explained. In addition, the electronic human resources management process and its applications, which have been more important as a result of developed human resources technology, are examined and presented in this chapter.

Empirical evidence demonstrates the value of intellectual property (IP) in creating economic growth, enhancing productivity and profitability, and increasing enterprise value. Research and Development (R&D) intensive industries, such as the life sciences, where patents are critical to competition, need an enabling environment to institutionalise innovation and IP generation and reward investments in IP. The US has approached IP strategically and created an IP infrastructure. Japan aims to develop into an "IP nation". China has an increasingly well-developed IP system. In contrast, the European Union (EU), which aims to become the world's leading knowledge-based economy, has a fragmented and expensive system of national patents. It lacks an environment which values investment in IP generation and management. Until recently, the EU enjoyed global competitive advantage in the life sciences, but this advantage has been lost. To regain this competitive advantage the EU must invest substantially in R&D, IP generation and commercialisation of these outputs.

Spatial Differences

In the recent years much attention has been given to the building of a knowledge-based economy (KBE). Of crucial importance in this process is the designing and practical use of innovations. They enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, regions and countries. Among the innovations of rapidly increasing significance are information-communication technologies, which make it possible to accumulate, process and circulate an ever-growing number of data over a short period of time. This allows a widespread and highly dynamic diffusion of knowledge.The article presents spatial differences among voivodships in Poland in the use of informationcommunication technologies in industrial plants. The analysis is preceded by a theoretical introduction, presenting J.A. Schumpeter’s theory of a creative destruction of the economic system as well as Kondratiev’s conception of long waves and cycles of industrial evolution. In this way the importance of innovations – including those in information-communication technologies – for economic growth is stressed. By showing differences among voivodships in the use of information-communication technologies, leaders in this field and those lagging behind are identified. A comparison is also made of the dynamics of economic growth of voivodships based on their per capita GDP figures and their use of this group of technologies. The article closes with the description of barriers hindering access to those technologies and their use. The conclusions present prospects of their development.
