Knowledge Economy
“(Basic economic resource) is knowledge and will
be knowledge…”
Peter F. Drucker, Post-Capitalist Society
“An economy that makes effective use of knowledge
for its economic and social development. This
includes tapping foreign knowledge as well as
adapting and creating knowledge for its specific
needs.”
