Economic Perspectives

This paper discusses the economic value of college education as well as general education. Major findings are as follows: First, the rate of return to one more year of education in college, in Korea, ranges from 9% to 17%, depending on the demand and supply conditions in the labor market. Second, the returns to education increase when the economic environment is in the dynamic and rapidly changing state rather than it is in the steady state. Finally, “general education” is more important than “professional education” to adapt the rapidly changing environment. The importance of the “general education” will be greater as the fourth industrial revolution brings more uncertainty to the society.

The article discusses the main features of the fourth industrial revolution and its impact on the transformation of the labor market and the transition to a new paradigm of education. Authors analyze new requirements for the graduates competence and modern world educational trends. Much attention is paid to strengthening of the project nature of education, blurring the distinction between traditional technical and humanitarian education. Moreover, the authors examine the shift of engineering work with its basic elements – invention, engineering, and design in the field of technical engineering in the area of economic, financial, social, cultural, anthropological design. This requires the creation of new interdisciplinary courses, the revision of the classical approaches to engineering and humanitarian education. The article explores the personalization of the educational trajectories, artificial intelligence as a teacher, e-learning technologies and simulators, information educational environment.

An old Chinese proverb says: “What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I learn”. This wisdom continues to be valid in this 21st century and even more so in this era characterized by the proliferation of new knowledge resulting from accelerated change in all areas of human activity. We are experiencing the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a process as amazing as it is challenging that inevitably leads to reinventing our society - the way we think, relate, and live, but also radically transform production systems, giving rise to a new paradigm that forces us to retrain our workforce at lightning speed, especially technicians and engineers. This implies that we must manage to achieve more effective and faster ways to transfer knowledge. In MECSOFT we find one that we have been using and refining for 20 years. We call it the Pyramid of the Flow of Knowledge (PFC in Spanish); Its results have always been so encouraging that we believe it is very convenient and timely to share it with society, especially at this time when education is urgently reinvented. MECSOFT is a company specialized in Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing and arises from a university research project with the idea of implementing this technology in the Costa Rican productive sector. The objective has been fulfilled thanks to the Pyramid of Knowledge Flow method.

Fourth Industrial Revolution

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The new opportunities offered by technologies have caused societies to break through towards the fourth industrial transformation. It will change the whole society and its structures alongside the business and the transition process is still speeding. The world is also facing big megatrends like global warming, urbanization, digitalization, new revolutionary technologies.</p><p>Like the industrial revolutions before, the whole paradigm of society is changing, and it will happen also in the fourth industrial revolution, so there is a need to think how we should take a step towards to the new paradigm, so that we could be able to response to future challenges on sustainable way.</p><p>The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) technologies like sensor, IoT-platforms, artificial intelligence etc., give new possibilities to develop new, more efficient, more sustainable and more customer driven supply chain, prolong the lifetime of products and create new services and business models and this way reduce the use of materials of energy. There is also an argument to rethink the source of raw material, and in which extent the cities itself could be seen the source of needed materials and energy, by using new technology.</p><p>The move towards new ICT based technologies will happen unexpected fast, including exponential growth of data. That is the reason, why it is essential to understand the challenges of change and have a strategic view, identify the key elements and see the new opportunities in all levels of society development.</p><p>Circular Economy has been very much a hot topic in many discussions, but there has been quite little discussion about reengineering the value chains and production based on circular economy principles by using the new opportunities on 4IR technologies not only in production but also in creating service, which change the need/thinking of ownership and build new business models. In addition to this, the elements to improve business environment by local or national authorities and legislators.</p><p>Finland has is as a goal to develop to one of the leading countries in circular economy, In Finland, Forssa region is considered to be one of the most advanced region in bio-based circular economy.</p><p>In this article has been described the development of regional industrial symbiosis in order to have competitive of business and future development.</p>

Purpose: the main purpose of this article is to explore the specific characteristics of the innovation development of South Korea. To achieve this goal the following tasks must be solved in the article: research the main principles and steps in the development of South Korea; identify and analyze the successful factors of the South Korean «economic miracle» that will continue contributing to the development and growth of the country; describe the cultural and organizational factors limiting the speed of transformation of South Korea under the fourth industrial revolution.Methods: the main methods of the research are system, structural and qualitative analyses. For the study, statistical data and articles in Russian and foreign scientific and analytical publications were used. The article is contributed with the empirical findings from the case study conducted during direct involvement of the authors in one of the industrial companies of South Korea.Results: an in-depth analyses of the transformation periods during the innovation development of South Korea was carried out, which made it possible to formulate the conclusion about existing barriers originated in the organisational approaches used to achieve the former industrial success. The problems constraining the new paradigm shift are analyzed.Conclusions and Relevance: the materials stated in the article show that in modern conditions, transition of South Korea towards Industry 4.0 is constrained by several unique factors, that used to be the key success elements in the former stages of the innovation development of the country. The research conducted in this article represents the value to the activities of various organizations interested in the innovation development, especially for development of innovation policies from the aspect of the importance of oranisational and cultural behavior at a national level. Practical application of the suggested conclusions allows hierarchical and monocultural organisations to transition to the Industry 4.0 with the consideration of important economic and social dynamics.
