Information And Communications Technologies ( Icts )
Abstract: To date the ICT industry could be seen as one of the top sectors in the country for graduate women employment in terms of creating high
quality jobs & it can enforce the strength empowering the rural women in deed. As caregivers, communicators and providers women play a major role
in the society. Information & Communications Technologies (ICTs) help to co
–ordinate some aspects of rural women's life in developing states. As the
women education rate & job participation is growing gradually in Bangladesh, women's participations & contributions in decision–making
male–dominated ICT environment are of growing importance.It is revealed by this paper that the knowledge revolution, led by information and
communication technology, lies at the heart of economic development of Bangladesh, especially for the neglected rural women. As half of the
population of Bangladesh is women & 80% of women live in pastoral area. As maximum women are illiterate & the fact is alarming that the literate
women or even though the educated women are unable to access in the ICT based knowledge for their insufficient knowledge about ICT. The
inability to access and use of ICT by women is a barrier to the creation of knowledge–based society in Bangladesh. It is identified by this paper that in
order to create an ICT–driven knowledge society & to empower the women of rural areas Bangladesh needs a knowledgeable workforce, government

Romer
In macroeconomics, a large portion of discussion is devoted to economic growth. The output of the national economy as a whole represents our
average access to goods and services. The long–run growth of the recent past represents everything from increase in access to running water and
electricity to development of personal computers and the Internet. In short, it describes the heightened standard of living we enjoy today. Endogenous
growth theory postulates that human capital and technology are central to enabling this growth. Human capital describes the stock of knowledge,
habits, and social and personality attributes, including creativity and innovative ability. Paul Romer has made significant contributions to developing
endogenous growth... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In an augmented model, rather than treating technology as constant across countries, Romer incorporated knowledge spillover effects. Each unit of
investment in capital did not only increase physical capital, but increased availability of knowledge to the whole economy, because private knowledge
was correlated with public knowledge . Another model by Robert Barro and Xavier Sala i Martin incorporated varying levels of technology based
on region, with knowledge diffusing slowly from areas with high levels of technology to those with low levels . This led to convergence being
predicted largely by the rate of diffusion of knowledge, based on the ability for poorer states or countries to imitate ideas and technologies. A third
model developed by Greg Makiw, David Romer, and David Weil proposed not a change in the way the model viewed technology, but added another
term: one for accumulation of human capital in addition to physical capital . In this augmented Solow model, rates of education were used as a
measure for investment in human capital. Education alone is an imperfect measure of human capital. However, there are limitations involved with the
practicalities of analyzing data in these models. Thus, Mankiw et al used secondary school attendance, and inclusion of human capital improved the
performance of the Solow model

Higher Education (HE) in Sudan has seen unprecedented growth during the last two decades. Both in terms of numbers of HE Institutions (HEIs)
themselves and the intake expansion for existing ones. Since the introduction of the "HE revolution plan" by the Ministry of HE and Scientific
Research (MHESR) in 1990, the number of public universities has grown from six in 1990 to thirty one today [1]. Furthermore, MHESR introduced
in the same year legislation to establish private HEIs, and currently there are 53 private colleges and 16 universities [2]. Enrollment during the same
period grew from about 25,000 in 1990 to over half a million today [2]. This remarkable expansion provides a number of challenges and opportunities
for improvement including enhancing diversity and quality of programs of study, increasing graduates' employability and adapting to market place

Mass production also effected domestic consumption of electricity. The increase of electricity usage further developed the economy of America.
Interpretation B mentions the increase of power usage: 'in 1912 only 16% of the population lived in electricity lit dwellings, the proportion had

'If every American could own a car and a house, buy quality clothes, own stock, take vacations and go to the movies then clearly there was no longer
any significant inequality in society' This quote is inaccurate as many across America did not see the benefits of the boom as interpretation C

The Perception That Our Capacity
The perception that our capacity (as youths) to learn and our capacity to lead are mutually exclusive, and that to fulfill our potential to serve the
country we must surrender our profound potential to leadership, that we can be the engine that drives innovation and solves complex societal problems
but our capacity for leadership and wisdom is somehow limited is a false and suffocating judgment. This ideology has destroyed the youths' ability to
be present in our nation's leadership. The youths present a passionate and obscure hunger for success – An unshakable will for prosperity. It is the
responsibility of the society to capture this youthful enthusiasm for leadership before they lose it to rioting confusion of life – the blot and blur of
years. For age brings with it a strangeness of destiny that stabs the red waste of youthfulness with fear. A leader that spends five years in office and has
no–thing to show for it at the end of the day is strange enough, but the voters who vote for such a leader once again are touched by the dark miracle of
folly. If, in contrast, the voters change their view – not simply looking out for the best candidate but embracing them outright – then the balance
between the competing political forces that has so long favored the incompetent leader will tilt away from him. And if this balance tilts away from
incompetent leadership, especially in Africa, it would result in the development of a peaceful, democratic and prosperous society.

Organizational Learning Is Not Built On Firm Foundations
Abstract As organizational learning takes a clear presence in today's workplaces; I am analyzing various case studies to better understand the intentions
and impact of such organizational changes. Who benefits from organizational learning? What impact does it have on the economy? Studies suggest the
outcome of organizational learning is not guaranteed to result in a win–win situation for all parties and the outcomes differ from one organization to
the next. Furthermore education is still designed to instill compliance. There is a danger society will continue to further segment into a class society if
top CEO's continue to heavily benefit from organizational initiatives. Such outcomes suggest organizational learning is not built on firm foundations.
The Foundations of a Learning Organization On the job education has arguably become a prime aspect of most jobs. While it's hard to ignore the
presence of organizational learning; the concept has many pros and cons which coincide with organizational initiatives. The outcomes of such changes
are not guaranteed to result in a win–win situation for all parties and differ from one organization to the next. Companies need to consider an
employee's education entering the workforce, the nature of the work being performed at the time and after the organizational changes, and the current
economy. External factors such as global competition, continues to affect the decisions organizations make, and the learning that occurs

In other words, the increase in knowledge can be subjected to the law of diminishing return with time and usage, renewable from time to time, growing
stronger with sharing and exchange (Akintoye, 2012). The knowledge–based economy has been described as "the notion that economic wealth is
created through the creation, production, distribution and consumption of knowledge and knowledge–based products" (Harris, 2001), otherwise termed
the weightless or information economy.
Human capital is one of the valuable strategic assets. It has enormous contribution in the field of inventions and innovation therefore, its importance
cannot be overlooked in the knowledge base economy (Olayiwola, 2015). Human Capital is defined as the knowledge, experience, skill and expertise
of firms' employees (Edvinsson & Malone1997). Diez, Ochoa, Prieto & Santidrian (2010) define human capital as firm's competencies and value
creation efficiencies which are linked by employee's knowledge, skill and intellectual capabilities. Sveiby (1997) describes human capital as ability to

We are living in the age of knowledge economy. The most essential push to economic development in this time is the accessibility to skilled labor.
Skilled labor requires investment in current education. The further the level of education of the people, the better prepared they are to understand new
material, acquire new skills and familiarize themselves with new technologies. Many studies have already reinforced the view that education and
economic progression are related (Mankiew et al., 1992). There is a solid link between these two categories. Education adds to economic growth and
with that, economic growth supplies to human well being by furthering available opportunities for them. Education certainly has an effect on many
aspects of life. It improves the living standard of the people. The progress of economy means the rise in per capita income. For example, according to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, those with only a high school education are twice as likely to be unemployed as those with at least a bachelor's
degree (Rothwell, 2013). Within the employed, the average college educated worker earns 84 percent more than the average worker with only a
high school education. Even those with just some college and no degree or an associate's degree earn 16 percent more. College educated workers are
much more likely to be in the labor force (Rothwell, 2013). By increasing per capita income, education allows people to be more aware about their

In the post–war period, countries endeavored and competed with each other to rebuild their economies that had been shattered by the war. Various
approaches were implemented to rectify this condition such as cooperation between the countries and provision of financial aid by powerful economic
force such as the United States. These efforts were proclaimed to recover the domestic economy and unfold opportunities for wider market integration.
New economic systems were introduced to improve and replace the preceding system. There are two systems being practiced and popularized in this
period: the "embedded liberalism" and the "neoliberalism". The former had become a common economic system in the post–war period before it was

International cooperation and trade were fostered under new economic liberalism model that merged the idea of free trade with state intervention. This
system of "embedded liberalism" enabled the international trade through open market system while government could still intervene in constituting
domestic economic policies to secure full employment and provide social welfare. Institutional frameworks in governing the global economy also
emerged along with the refurbishment of the economic system. Bretton Woods Organizations were established to oversee the global economy and
trade in this post–war economic order. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development
(IBRD), which would eventually become a subsidiary of the World Bank, were founded to regulate international monetary system by setting up fixed
exchange rates for international free trade and providing loans for countries to restore their post–war economies as well as encourage their respective
economic development. Meanwhile, the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) was formulated afterward to complement and regulate the
international trade through multilateral negotiations of tariffs and protectionist policies in accordance with the embedded liberalism system. With
these multilateral institutional frameworks and Keynesian model of protectionist policies intact, the global economy and trade flourished in this

Intellectual property is an important asset in the current knowledge economy. Intellectual property typically covers the areas of Copyright, Patents and
trademark law. In recent years, firms have chosen to protect software based patents commonly used in smartphones. The use of patents to protect
software–based technologies has increased exponentially in the past 10 years since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007 by Apple. Empirically, there
is no clear correlation between patent protection and economic growth (Iwaisako and Futagami). However companies are investing more in the
protection and acquisition of intellectual property to gain a monopoly and competitive advantages. For the main this paper will concentrate on the

economy because of their growing economy as well as the standard of living improving throughout the years. South Africa currently produces a
substantial range of diverse products such as electronics, vehicles and parts as well as natural materials which are sold all around the world which has

While schools have made great progress in the area of technology infusion, much remains to be done. A renewed focus must be made on what
technologies must be taught as well as how it should be used. New technologies are finding their way into the work place that are not being used in
schools (e.g., Videoconferencing, online sharing spaces such as wikis). In addition, workers in many different occupations need immediate information
(just–in–time information). This process requires sophisticated searching and processing skills (i.e., information literacy). Learners must be taught how
to learn in a digital society. In other words, learners must be taught to learn anything, anytime, anywhere. Business, military, and medicine are excellent
examples of how technology is being used differently in the 21st century. As new technologies emerge, learners need to learn how to use that
technology quickly and appropriately. Digital Citizenship involves educating people in a new way– these individuals need a high degree of information

Creative Class
In the past few decades the global economy has undergone a fundamental shift. The characteristics of the economy have shifted to favor an
information–based economy in which technology plays the largest role in the production process. This has come at the expense of the characteristics
of the Fordist system, such as a large class of manufacturing workers in the American midwest. The rise of the creative class is part of the same
transition that is responsible for the demise of the American worker. The transition from Fordism to knowledge–based capitalism has seen the majority
of manufacturing jobs replaced by automation. The displacement stemming from automation as well as resentment for the lucrative creative class
sparked the rise of populist candidates in 2016. Richard Florida's commentary The Creative Class and Economic Development focuses on the rise of
what he refers to as the "creative class." The rise of the creative class has been a result of the transition of the global economy away from Fordism to an

The Analysis Of The 2007 Mineral And Mining Act Essay
Additionally, the Act limits the duration of contract and exploration rights to 25 years, renewable after 24 years upon a successful preservation of the
standards, including environmental regulations stated under the Act.
The analysis of the 2007 Mineral and Mining Act demonstrates that the excesses of the environmental damage in the Niger Delta region did not emanate
from inadequate legislation. The problem is an ineffective implementation of the Act. As indicated in the first part of the paper, theNigeria government
lacks the political will to implement the appropriate clauses important for the protection of the Niger Delta's ecosystem because a significant percentage
of the government expenditure comes from revenues generated by oil corporations. The government's incapacity to implement the Mineral and Mining
Act results from a fear that strict adherence to the Act might dwindle national revenue, and constrains budget. While this fear is a genuine one, it can
however be partly addressed by a diversification of the national economy, from oil based to include other sectors of the economy. Diversify the

There is a causality between lack of economic diversification and high levels of vulnerability. This is the case in Nigeria as the oil sector contributes

The Objective Of Knowledge Management Essay

In this global and increasingly knowledge–based society, the principal asset for organizations in both the public and private sectors is knowledge. To
survive in the face of such global competitions, organizations increasingly depend on their ability to transform information into knowledge as the basis

of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using organizational knowledge (Davenport, 1994). The ultimate goal of KM is to increase the

libraries is to promote knowledge innovation, closer relationships in and between libraries, and between a library and its users, to strengthen knowledge
inter–networking and to quicken knowledge flow. For some in the LIS community, KM is simply a case of "new wine in old bottles" or of
"librarianship in new clothes", and more controversially, as nothing more than information management (Koenig, 1997; Rowley, 2003; Schwarzwalder,

logic of these software is similar: the hands of users will be idle vehicles or take out housing resources, Uber and Airbnb will release these resources,
in the form of information to the mobile terminal software and provide services to customers at low prices (Cannon & SummersпјЊ2014; Matzler,

Kangxi And Peter The Great Similarities
Comparing and Contrasting Two Monarchs
In the late 17th century to the early 18th century, two powerful monarchs who ruled over their own magnificent empires. These monarchs were Peter
the Great, the tsar of Russia, and the emperor of China, Kangxi. At the time of their rules, an economic system called mercantilism formed. This
system allowed societies to benefit off of influx of goods from merchants trading. Using this system, in China, the Canton system was formed to open
up ports to western societies. Even though, both Kangxi and Peter the Great shared similarities in the way they ruled, they had a variety of differences,
which were caused by their background and their country's interests. On the other hand, the diverse backgrounds and experiences of the empires
caused them to also have differences in their ways of ruling. These differences could be categorized into two overarching topics, economy and education
. Their economies had varied taxation systems and were structured differently. As far as education, the rulers differed in the ways they spread
knowledge and the type of knowledge they taught. Comparing these two rulers can produce some similarities shown in the economic systems backed
by the time period in which they ruled. For instance, in Russia, Peter the Great relied on the economic system of mercantilism to spur economic growth
within his empire. He achieved this by increasing exports like silk. (Massie, 938) Similarly, Kangxi created the Canton system which

High School Enrollment in the Country of Jordan
What would be the next step for Jordan after reaching a 99% of school enrollment (World Bank, 2014)? No matter what it decides to do, it has to take
globalization and knowledge into account.
Globalization is a foreseeable phenomenon in human history which has been bringing the world together through the exchange of goods and products,
information, knowledge and culture (World Bank, 2013). Governments may decide to avoid it or accept it, but in either ways they cannot overlook the
extensive impact it has on different sectors, mainly economy, and education is not an exception.
Globalization is considered one of the clouts that have an influence on economic development. Likewise, knowledge, such as information, education
and skills, has become the most important factor for sustaining economic growth (World Bank, 2002). Due to that, the term Knowledge Economy has
emerged in recognition to the role of knowledge and technology in economic growth. Countries, nowadays, should be more "dependent on the
production, distribution and use of knowledge" (OECD, 1996; p. 9).
Knowledge is, generally, associated with and manifested through human capital, which refers to the people and their knowledge, abilities, skills and
competences (Keeley, 2009). So, how would a country measure the extent of knowledge it has? Knowledge Economy Index (KEI) is a record that

ICT for the development of SMEs in Myanmar

depended on the Information and communications technology (ICT) for market access and information. SMEs need to have access to and use of ICT
to engage in the regional and global economic business networks. If SMEs are not accessible to ICT, many of the SMEs are set to lose out on
opportunities to integrate into the global supply chain, get potential businesses and increase their productivity or efficiency.
While ICT can offer multiple benefits to SMEs, those in the Asia–Pacific region are slow to adopt ICT as they face major constraints such as high cost
of equipments, limited ICT literacy, poor telecommunication infrastructure, lack of government regulations for e–commerce and ICT, and poor
integration into business processes (Kotelnikov, 2007). This paper aims to assess the potential benefits and challenges of using ICT for the

Globalization Is Not A New Concept
As with the growing interdependence of an economy on the others is the growing norm of the world's society. Why the countries are dependent on one
another? Can't they survive isolated from the rest of the world? The answer is laid upon the term Globalization. The globalization is not a new concept;
it even existed even thousands of years ago. However, it became much popular in the nineteenth century most prevalently after the world war when the
economies around the world tend to grow and develop outside its geographical region. The technological progress increased the production of
computers and internet usage started to become prevalent, and this in turn reduced the communication barriers between people. The reduced cost of
communicating increased the openness to international trade. The economic system shifted from planned to more of market economy. The minimum
government intervention created a greater competition between firms and hence a better output (Santarelli, 2002). There are certain factors of
globalization which includes the integration of capital, labor and products. Firstly, there is an increase in capital–labor mobility due to economic
transitions between countries and secondly, there is a flow of knowledge and information between countries (Sindzingre, 2005). Globalization is a very
important debated issue. It is a phenomenon which focuses on increase in openness to trade, reduced transportation costs and transfer of technology.

Thus, new media is reproducing itself through different old technologies. Not only new media is remediating its predecessors, it also shapes new

media has unprecedentedly change the subjectivity of different things. For example, we are experiencing new forms of textual experiences and

Once the best method of performance task was determined, it would be educated to all workers. (Clegg, S et al 2005)
Third principle as per Clegg, Kornberger & Pitsis (2005) was based on selecting workers who possess skills and abilities to match the needs of the
tasks, and train them to perform the task against established procedures. To increase specialization, Taylor believed workers had to understand the
task that were required and be trained to perform them at the required level. Workers who could not be trained to do this level were to be transferred
to a job where they were able to reach the minimum required level of proficiency.
Fourth principle was to set a fair level of performance for a task, and then develop a pay system that provides a reward for performance above the
acceptable level. To encourage workers to perform at a high level of efficiency, and to provide them with an incentive to reveal the most efficient
techniques for performing a task, Taylor advocated that workers benefit from any gains in performance. They should be paid a bonus and receive
some percentage of the performance gains achieved through the more efficient work process. (Clegg, S et al 2005)

As transaction and communication costs fall, the proximity between sellers and buyers, which has traditionally been considered to be essential for
many services, figures less prominently. Most important in this regard is that financial capital has gone global. Nowadays, the financial centres of the
world economy provide the possibility for 24 hour trading in all sorts of financial assets. The deregulation of other business services such as banking
and insurance also offers new opportunities for the tradability of services. Hence, standardized business services have become available around the
world, which, in turn, has made the international fragmentation of production feasible. As a consequence of all this, not only the constraints on firms,
but also on governments have completely changed.
Globalization shapes the world economy in different ways. Most obviously,international trade and capital flows are affected. Over the last 30 years or
so, international trade has grown faster on average than production, implying a more integrated world economy. Closer integration brings about
opportunities for specialization, and hence increases interdependencies. This is highlighted by changes in the structure of world trade. For example,

Information And Communications Technologies ( Icts ) Abstract: To date the ICT industry could be seen as one of the top sectors in the country for graduate women employment in terms of creating high quality jobs & it can enforce the strength empowering the rural women in deed. As caregivers, communicators and providers women play a major role in the society. Information & Communications Technologies (ICTs) help to co –ordinate some aspects of rural women's life in developing states. As the women education rate & job participation is growing gradually in Bangladesh, women's participations & contributions in decision–making male–dominated ICT environment are of growing importance.It is revealed by this paper that the knowledge revolution, led by information and communication technology, lies at the heart of economic development of Bangladesh, especially for the neglected rural women. As half of the population of Bangladesh is women & 80% of women live in pastoral area. As maximum women are illiterate & the fact is alarming that the literate women or even though the educated women are unable to access in the ICT based knowledge for their insufficient knowledge about ICT. The inability to access and use of ICT by women is a barrier to the creation of knowledge–based society in Bangladesh. It is identified by this paper that in order to create an ICT–driven knowledge society & to empower the women of rural areas Bangladesh needs a knowledgeable workforce, government step, support, incentives & concentration so that transparent and ...

  • 2. Romer In macroeconomics, a large portion of discussion is devoted to economic growth. The output of the national economy as a whole represents our average access to goods and services. The long–run growth of the recent past represents everything from increase in access to running water and electricity to development of personal computers and the Internet. In short, it describes the heightened standard of living we enjoy today. Endogenous growth theory postulates that human capital and technology are central to enabling this growth. Human capital describes the stock of knowledge, habits, and social and personality attributes, including creativity and innovative ability. Paul Romer has made significant contributions to developing endogenous growth... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In an augmented model, rather than treating technology as constant across countries, Romer incorporated knowledge spillover effects. Each unit of investment in capital did not only increase physical capital, but increased availability of knowledge to the whole economy, because private knowledge was correlated with public knowledge . Another model by Robert Barro and Xavier Sala i Martin incorporated varying levels of technology based on region, with knowledge diffusing slowly from areas with high levels of technology to those with low levels . This led to convergence being predicted largely by the rate of diffusion of knowledge, based on the ability for poorer states or countries to imitate ideas and technologies. A third model developed by Greg Makiw, David Romer, and David Weil proposed not a change in the way the model viewed technology, but added another term: one for accumulation of human capital in addition to physical capital . In this augmented Solow model, rates of education were used as a measure for investment in human capital. Education alone is an imperfect measure of human capital. However, there are limitations involved with the practicalities of analyzing data in these models. Thus, Mankiw et al used secondary school attendance, and inclusion of human capital improved the performance of the Solow model ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Both in terms of numbers of HE Institutions (HEIs) themselves and the intake expansion for existing ones. Since the introduction of the "HE revolution plan" by the Ministry of HE and Scientific Research (MHESR) in 1990, the number of public universities has grown from six in 1990 to thirty one today [1]. Furthermore, MHESR introduced in the same year legislation to establish private HEIs, and currently there are 53 private colleges and 16 universities [2]. Enrollment during the same period grew from about 25,000 in 1990 to over half a million today [2]. This remarkable expansion provides a number of challenges and opportunities for improvement including enhancing diversity and quality of programs of study, increasing graduates' employability and adapting to market place demands.

Using the four passages and your own knowledge, assess the view that the impact of the First World War was the main reason for the booming economy in the USA in the 1920's (40 Marks) I believe that the First World War did not have as much of a significant impact on the American economy as mass production, infact i however see that instead of benefiting the economy the War in fact had the reverse effect to that of which interpretation A and C suggest that the war was the most important factor of the 1920's American economic boom. Firstly, the biggest reason as to why mass production was the main reason for the economic boom was that the American GNP soaring from $72.4 billion in 1919 to $104 billion 1929 only 15 years after mass...

Interpretation B mentions the increase of power usage: 'in 1912 only 16% of the population lived in electricity lit dwellings, the proportion had grown to 63% by 1927' it also states 'electrical household appliances came into general use. This can be used to criticize Interpretation C as it quotes 'If every American could own a car and a house, buy quality clothes, own stock, take vacations and go to the movies then clearly there was no longer any significant inequality in society' This quote is inaccurate as many across America did not see the benefits of the boom as interpretation C suggested.

  • 5. The Perception That Our Capacity The perception that our capacity (as youths) to learn and our capacity to lead are mutually exclusive, and that to fulfill our potential to serve the country we must surrender our profound potential to leadership, that we can be the engine that drives innovation and solves complex societal problems but our capacity for leadership and wisdom is somehow limited is a false and suffocating judgment. This ideology has destroyed the youths' ability to be present in our nation's leadership. The youths present a passionate and obscure hunger for success – An unshakable will for prosperity. It is the responsibility of the society to capture this youthful enthusiasm for leadership before they lose it to rioting confusion of life – the blot and blur of years. For age brings with it a strangeness of destiny that stabs the red waste of youthfulness with fear. A leader that spends five years in office and has no–thing to show for it at the end of the day is strange enough, but the voters who vote for such a leader once again are touched by the dark miracle of folly. If, in contrast, the voters change their view – not simply looking out for the best candidate but embracing them outright – then the balance between the competing political forces that has so long favored the incompetent leader will tilt away from him. And if this balance tilts away from incompetent leadership, especially in Africa, it would result in the development of a peaceful, democratic and prosperous society. ...

  • 6. Organizational Learning Is Not Built On Firm Foundations Abstract As organizational learning takes a clear presence in today's workplaces; I am analyzing various case studies to better understand the intentions and impact of such organizational changes. Who benefits from organizational learning? What impact does it have on the economy? Studies suggest the outcome of organizational learning is not guaranteed to result in a win–win situation for all parties and the outcomes differ from one organization to the next. Furthermore education is still designed to instill compliance. There is a danger society will continue to further segment into a class society if top CEO's continue to heavily benefit from organizational initiatives. Such outcomes suggest organizational learning is not built on firm foundations. The Foundations of a Learning Organization On the job education has arguably become a prime aspect of most jobs. While it's hard to ignore the presence of organizational learning; the concept has many pros and cons which coincide with organizational initiatives. The outcomes of such changes are not guaranteed to result in a win–win situation for all parties and differ from one organization to the next. Companies need to consider an employee's education entering the workforce, the nature of the work being performed at the time and after the organizational changes, and the current economy.

In other words, the increase in knowledge can be subjected to the law of diminishing return with time and usage, renewable from time to time, growing stronger with sharing and exchange (Akintoye, 2012). The knowledge–based economy has been described as "the notion that economic wealth is created through the creation, production, distribution and consumption of knowledge and knowledge–based products" (Harris, 2001), otherwise termed the weightless or information economy. Human capital is one of the valuable strategic assets. It has enormous contribution in the field of inventions and innovation therefore, its importance cannot be overlooked in the knowledge base economy (Olayiwola, 2015). Human Capital is defined as the knowledge, experience, skill and expertise of firms' employees (Edvinsson & Malone1997). Diez, Ochoa, Prieto & Santidrian (2010) define human capital as firm's competencies and value creation efficiencies which are linked by employee's knowledge, skill and intellectual capabilities.

Industry, and services and between other sectors–rural and urban, public and private, domestic– and export–orientated (para. 1) Hodson & Sullivan present that (2008) "A post–industrial society is based on services. Hence, it is a game between persons. What counts is not raw muscle power, or energy, but information" (Bell, 1976, p. 127).

Service Economy The new service economy has positive and negative aspects. The United States labor was once based on agriculture, then manufacturing and has now turned into an economy based on services (Hodson & Sullivan, 2008).

  • 9. We are Living in an Age of Knowledge Economy Built on... We are living in the age of knowledge economy. The most essential push to economic development in this time is the accessibility to skilled labor. Skilled labor requires investment in current education. The further the level of education of the people, the better prepared they are to understand new material, acquire new skills and familiarize themselves with new technologies. Many studies have already reinforced the view that education and economic progression are related (Mankiew et al., 1992). There is a solid link between these two categories. Education adds to economic growth and with that, economic growth supplies to human well being by furthering available opportunities for them. Education certainly has an effect on many aspects of life. It improves the living standard of the people. The progress of economy means the rise in per capita income. For example, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, those with only a high school education are twice as likely to be unemployed as those with at least a bachelor's degree (Rothwell, 2013). Within the employed, the average college educated worker earns 84 percent more than the average worker with only a high school education. Even those with just some college and no degree or an associate's degree earn 16 percent more. College educated workers are much more likely to be in the labor force (Rothwell, 2013).

Various approaches were implemented to rectify this condition such as cooperation between the countries and provision of financial aid by powerful economic force such as the United States. These efforts were proclaimed to recover the domestic economy and unfold opportunities for wider market integration. New economic systems were introduced to improve and replace the preceding system.

International cooperation and trade were fostered under new economic liberalism model that merged the idea of free trade with state intervention. This system of "embedded liberalism" enabled the international trade through open market system while government could still intervene in constituting domestic economic policies to secure full employment and provide social welfare. Institutional frameworks in governing the global economy also emerged along with the refurbishment of the economic system. Bretton Woods Organizations were established to oversee the global economy and trade in this post–war economic order. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which would eventually become a subsidiary of the World Bank, were founded to regulate international monetary system by setting up fixed exchange rates for international free trade and providing loans for countries to restore their post–war economies as well as encourage their respective economic development. Meanwhile, the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) was formulated afterward to complement and regulate the international trade through multilateral negotiations of tariffs and protectionist policies in accordance with the embedded liberalism system.

Intellectual property typically covers the areas of Copyright, Patents and trademark law. In recent years, firms have chosen to protect software based patents commonly used in smartphones. The use of patents to protect software–based technologies has increased exponentially in the past 10 years since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007 by Apple. Empirically, there is no clear correlation between patent protection and economic growth (Iwaisako and Futagami). However companies are investing more in the protection and acquisition of intellectual property to gain a monopoly and competitive advantages. For the main this paper will concentrate on the protection of IP. Yet, the benefits of acquisition strategy of IP should not be ignored. It is itself blended in the fabric of protection strategies. Protection strategies allows for the acquisition of IP which in turn fosters economic output and innovation.; Protection IP Protection fosters innovation and innovation activities. Protective strategies enhance a firm's competitive offering. Patent protection strategies described by Mazzoleni and Nelson (1998) align with the neoclassical view of organisation and profit maximisation.

Digital Literacy: process of teaching and learning about technology and the use of technology. While schools have made great progress in the area of technology infusion, much remains to be done. A renewed focus must be made on what technologies must be taught as well as how it should be used. New technologies are finding their way into the work place that are not being used in schools (e.g., Videoconferencing, online sharing spaces such as wikis). In addition, workers in many different occupations need immediate information (just–in–time information). This process requires sophisticated searching and processing skills (i.e., information literacy). Learners must be taught how to learn in a digital society. In other words, learners must be taught to learn anything, anytime, anywhere. Business, military, and medicine are excellent examples of how technology is being used differently in the 21st century. As new technologies emerge, learners need to learn how to use that technology quickly and appropriately.

  • 15. Creative Class In the past few decades the global economy has undergone a fundamental shift. The characteristics of the economy have shifted to favor an information–based economy in which technology plays the largest role in the production process. This has come at the expense of the characteristics of the Fordist system, such as a large class of manufacturing workers in the American midwest. The rise of the creative class is part of the same transition that is responsible for the demise of the American worker. The transition from Fordism to knowledge–based capitalism has seen the majority of manufacturing jobs replaced by automation. The displacement stemming from automation as well as resentment for the lucrative creative class sparked the rise of populist candidates in 2016. Richard Florida's commentary The Creative Class and Economic Development focuses on the rise of what he refers to as the "creative class." The rise of the creative class has been a result of the transition of the global economy away from Fordism to an information–based system. As a result, the most lucrative jobs are "jobs in knowledge–intensive industries that involve the production of new ideas or products, or that engage in creative problem solving."

The analysis of the 2007 Mineral and Mining Act demonstrates that the excesses of the environmental damage in the Niger Delta region did not emanate from inadequate legislation. The problem is an ineffective implementation of the Act. As indicated in the first part of the paper, theNigeria government lacks the political will to implement the appropriate clauses important for the protection of the Niger Delta's ecosystem because a significant percentage of the government expenditure comes from revenues generated by oil corporations. The government's incapacity to implement the Mineral and Mining Act results from a fear that strict adherence to the Act might dwindle national revenue, and constrains budget. While this fear is a genuine one, it can however be partly addressed by a diversification of the national economy, from oil based to include other sectors of the economy. Diversify the Economy There is a causality between lack of economic diversification and high levels of vulnerability. This is the case in Nigeria as the oil sector contributes more than half to the country's GDP, yet, it only provides employment to les than 5 percent of the country's teeming population.

To survive in the face of such global competitions, organizations increasingly depend on their ability to transform information into knowledge as the basis of competitiveness, decision–making and the production of new products and services. There for Knowledge Management (KM) can act as the process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using organizational knowledge (Davenport, 1994). The ultimate goal of KM is to increase the effectiveness and the sustainability of growth of an organization. Although KM was originally develop to fit the needs of for–profit companies, but its practice has been spread over to the non–profit sector including LIS. Shanhong (2000) suggests that the objective of knowledge Management in libraries is to promote knowledge innovation, closer relationships in and between libraries, and between a library and its users, to strengthen knowledge inter–networking and to quicken knowledge flow. For some in the LIS community, KM is simply a case of "new wine in old bottles" or of "librarianship in new clothes", and more controversially, as nothing more than information management (Koenig, 1997; Rowley, 2003; Schwarzwalder, 1999; Wilson, 2002).

These monarchs were Peter the Great, the tsar of Russia, and the emperor of China, Kangxi. At the time of their rules, an economic system called mercantilism formed. This system allowed societies to benefit off of influx of goods from merchants trading. Using this system, in China, the Canton system was formed to open up ports to western societies. Even though, both Kangxi and Peter the Great shared similarities in the way they ruled, they had a variety of differences, which were caused by their background and their country's interests. On the other hand, the diverse backgrounds and experiences of the empires caused them to also have differences in their ways of ruling. These differences could be categorized into two overarching topics, economy and education . Their economies had varied taxation systems and were structured differently. As far as education, the rulers differed in the ways they spread knowledge and the type of knowledge they taught. Comparing these two rulers can produce some similarities shown in the economic systems backed by the time period in which they ruled.

To increase specialization, Taylor believed workers had to understand the task that were required and be trained to perform them at the required level. Workers who could not be trained to do this level were to be transferred to a job where they were able to reach the minimum required level of proficiency. Fourth principle was to set a fair level of performance for a task, and then develop a pay system that provides a reward for performance above the acceptable level. To encourage workers to perform at a high level of efficiency, and to provide them with an incentive to reveal the most efficient techniques for performing a task, Taylor advocated that workers benefit from any gains in performance.

As transaction and communication costs fall, the proximity between sellers and buyers, which has traditionally been considered to be essential for many services, figures less prominently. Most important in this regard is that financial capital has gone global. Nowadays, the financial centres of the world economy provide the possibility for 24 hour trading in all sorts of financial assets. The deregulation of other business services such as banking and insurance also offers new opportunities for the tradability of services. Hence, standardized business services have become available around the world, which, in turn, has made the international fragmentation of production feasible. As a consequence of all this, not only the constraints on firms, but also on governments have completely changed. Globalization shapes the world economy in different ways. Most obviously,international trade and capital flows are affected. Over the last 30 years or so, international trade has grown faster on average than production, implying a more integrated world economy. Closer integration brings about opportunities for specialization, and hence increases interdependencies. This is highlighted by changes in the structure of world trade.

They do not only helps economic development but there is many other sectors too which are being benefitted. The return of the expatriates to their home place is considered beneficial in many ways. They have sufficient knowledge about the culture, traditions and other things of the place that is why they can do better business than others. US data is much optimistic in this sense as 50% of the students came back to their own country who goes abroad for the higher studies but in India or China it is only 20%. It is the same condition with the Afghanistan, students who go to other countries for their studies do not return to home country and in this way, the country's asset is going away from them.

The graduated students can directly or indirectly contribute to the national economy.
