Contemporary organisations in both public and private sector are often examined not only in terms of their core functional business but also in how they have adapted to a knowledge-based and innovation-driven economy. As such, knowledge-based assets are considered as a source of sustainable advantage. The magnitude of change in the proportion of value creation by these intangible investments has caused a paradigm shift and the recognition of an increasingly important role for intellectual capital (IC). There is also a growing interest in developing business reporting models that are more comprehensive than that of traditional accounting-based reporting, which has been shown to be inadequate to report the value of intellectual capital. Researchers and academics have attempted to build models for IC reporting. In this paper, eleven IC measurement models are critically reviewed and a framework of IC valuation and reporting based on capabilities is suggested. The capabilities enhanced by IC could be reported in combination with the tangible assets in an IC capability balance sheet. The IC capability model offers a clear starting point for a new thinking in evaluating intangible assets as a firm business resource.

Achieving transformational knowledge based economy as provided for in Kenya’s Vision 2030, requires adequately budgeted for science instructional resources. This is because instructional resources are key in practical work which enhances learners experience and understanding science concepts, hence better learning achievement. This study sought to establish the link between budget planning in secondary schools in Nairobi County to their financial management policies in terms of setting up structures for handling budgetary allocations in a coordinated approach through consultation with staff. It relied on a sampled principals and science teachers from public and private schools in Nairobi County obtained using stratified sampling techniques. Using cognitive based participatory decision making model, the study established that secondary schools have budgeting objectives that take science instructional resources in consideration; science teachers place their budgetary request based on their schemes of work to the budgeting committee and are present during prioritization on departmental list. It also established that systems for projecting revenues and expenditures are established in secondary schools to link policy objective on science instructions and resources and that allocations for instructional resources are specified in school budget in public secondary schools than their private counterparts. In practice, the study recommended that science teachers need to be involved in budgetary decision making and measure be put in place to ensure this happen. It suggested more research on the role science teachers in improving learning outcomes through participation in budgetary decision making.

Key Characteristics

The rapid rise of the knowledge-based economy has resulted in an increasing gap between knowledge "haves" and "have nots", a phenomenon now widely referred to as the digital divide. This divide has become particularly apparent in Asia, a region that is home to some of the highest and lowest digital technology penetration rates in the world. Failing to adequately bridge this divide will inevitably result in greater disparities among the economies of the region. This paper provides an overview of the driving forces and key characteristics of the knowledge economy. It outlines some of the opportunities and challenges the knowledge economy presents to policy makers, societies, businesses and individuals alike. Emphasis in this paper is given to the need for assessing "e-readiness" as a critical first step in initiating any major developmental effort. This is accompanied by a broad-based assessment of the level of e-readiness in Asia, along with an examination of the crucial link between income levels and telecommunications service costs with digital connectivity. Concrete examples of actions being undertaken by non-profit organizations, corporations and individuals to bridge the digital divide in Asia are then presented, followed by some concluding remarks.

Definition Of

The knowledge-based firms can both flourish and grow and stimulate employment and economic growth. Iranian Knowledge-based firms’ protection law is the protection of small and medium knowledge-based firms which are at their elementary steps of growth and don’t have enough attraction to investors. Knowledge-based firms’ protection law in Iran faces to serious challenges that causes this law will not reach to its aim, same as the other protection laws for reducing unemployment and increasing the economic growth. The aim of the study is investigating of structural challenges of knowledge-based firms in Iran. First challenge is about the definition of these kind of firms which weren’t designed in accordance to demand and the knowledge economy and the learner's economy has been ignored. Second challenge is related to performance mechanisms in financial support and providing the facilities for these kind of firms, which reveals the weakness of mechanisms against the economic surplus and corruption. These challenges caused gaps including the weakness of needed mechanisms for the illegal subsidy banning, dependent situation of the innovation and prosperity fund, Khosoulati pressures, enterprise approach of the government, governmental inter-authority competition and the weakness of participant attraction of the public and private organizations that hinder the movement towards a knowledge-based economy.

Social and economic transformations that took place in Poland after 1989 brought, besides the obvious benefits, a number of negative consequences such as the unemployment. In order to increase own competitiveness in the demanding labour market, and referring to the progressive development of civilization associated with building the knowledge-based economy, entrepreneurial attitude of an individual person and his interpersonal skills are of paramount importance. In this approach, entrepreneurial individuals should be inclined to acquire new knowledge and have the ability to observe surroundings and recognize emerging opportunities, which could help to improve their educational and occupational qualifications. Free part-time studies at the Pedagogical University in Cracow undoubtedly offer such an opportunity. The article discusses the problematic aspects of motives for choosing a faculty of studies at the Pedagogical University, which are co-financed by the European Union under the European Social Fund and the Human Capital Operational Programme. The research, based on a questionnaire survey developed by the authors of this article, was conducted in June 2011. The research sample comprised of 33 students of the third year of tourism and recreation, and 50 students of the third year of the environmental protection. On the basis of their response, the hierarchy of motives has been made, as well as the analysis of students’ plans regarding their education and career. This article also presents an assessment of entrepreneurial attitudes of students in planning their own careers.
