[email protected] Abstract “This paper analyses the factors which stimulated transformations of Traditional Economy to the Knowledge Economy, highlights the basic treats of Knowledge-based Economy (KBE). The primary concern is pushed to the examination of information sway indication to the improvement of economy. The creator features plausibility to evaluate the infiltration level of KBE which could show box the presence of results of information articulation which could be made in obtaining, creation, use and improvement of them. The last marvel is deciphered as information articulation attributes: monetary and social setting, HR, ICT, creative business and advancement strategy. The reason for this analysis was based on the idea that in spite of the knowledge economy existence in all developed World countries an authoritative, all inclusive rundown of markers for planning and estimating the KBE doesn't yet exists. The article presents two hypothetically isolated gatherings of Knowledge Expression Assessment Models. Considering deficiencies of dissected models and looking to make adaptable model for information articulation appraisal, instrument for the evaluation of information articulation in KBE is proposed in the paper. The design of evolvent of information articulation appraisal rules just as the potential fields and subjects for utilization of proposed instrument is pronounced in the article too.” Key Words: Traditional Economy, Knowledge Economy, Knowledge Expression Assessment Models, models, instrument. Introduction “Over the past 25 years, the pace of information creation and scattering has expanded essentially. Financial exercises related with the creation and usage of data and information has become a motor of monetary development in the created market economies, progressively changing the wide range of various elements of improvement and the whole society. The sped up in the creation and scattering of information has prompted the fast speed of present day and proficient creation procedures, in addition to the expanded likelihood of jumping, which has subsequently brought about the world economy getting substantially more serious.” “Responding to the later circumstance in the changing motors of financial turn of events, European Council in 2000 March in Lisbon received tested arrangement for the fate of European Union. Vital objective was characterized remembering both outside difficulties – globalization response.” “The knowledge economy is not just a new theoretical concept, but a new epoch, which has a fundamental difference from the era of agrarian and industrial economies. Although it appeared only in the early 1990s, it has already had an impact and caused changes in all spheres of economic and social life, and this influence is constantly growing. The trend of development of a knowledge economy is the formation of a knowledge economy, which will mean the onset of a new stage in the development of the global economy [1].” Literature Review and conceptual framework “Many studies show that the transition to a knowledge-based economy through the introduction of innovation significantly increases a country‟s performance as well as living standards. Innovations are an important determinant of sustainable competitiveness and the growth of the knowledge economy. They are a fundamental factor in progress in the social, environmental, and economic fields [2].” “Sinakou [3], Hanushek [4], „irá et al. [5], Valliere and Peterson [6], Busu and Trica [7], and Kisel‟áková et al. [8] identified indicators that are suitable for quantifying economic growth (e.g., GDP, inflation, unemployment, productivity, government departments, and circular economies), but the next important indicator to identify the economic growth in today‟sworld is knowledge Fromthis view, we can argue that development would be limited if knowledge support were limited. However, creating new knowledge is not expensive, but, inmost cases, it takes effort and time [9].” “For a more accurate understanding of the term “knowledge economy”, it is necessary to become acquainted with several approaches to it (Durazzi [10]; Saridogan and Kaya [11]; Sagiyeval et al. [12]; Milewska [13]; Ayan and 2768 ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 6, 2020 Pabuccu [14]). There is no single approach or clear concept for defining the term “knowledge economy”. The OECD defines knowledge-based economies at a very general level as those that are directly based on the production, distribution, and use of knowledge and information [15]. The knowledge economy can be defined, in one respect, as a way of creating a product based on activities dependent on knowledge and expertise that contribute to the creation of scientific and technological progress. The fundamental determinants of the knowledge economy include a more significant ratio for the dependence of the economy on intellectual abilities than on physical inputs or natural resources in the context of the integration of new knowledge at each level of the production process [16]. The knowledge economy is developing on the basis of two driving forces. The first is the increasing knowledge level of economic operations and the second is the globalization of economic events [17]. According to Dudová [18], the prerequisites for the emergence of knowledge economies include the long-term tendency of a gradual increase in the weight of intangible capital on production factors and the emergence and growth of the delusion of information and communication technologies. Changes in countries towards the transition to the level of knowledge economy are considered a new trend in the global environment. This transformation has become a necessity, especially for emerging economies, which sure from a low degree of economic competitiveness. It should be noted, however, that these changes require a clear and effective policy-making approach that responds, in particular, to the needs of these countries and their available resources [19].” Economy Transformations in the 21st Century “The main factors which stipulated the transformations of economy scope could be presented in such chain of events (not necessarily in the presented sequence):” “The emergence of knowledge workers category (Drucker, 1989). This is the workers which duties are directly concerned with the imperative performance of high qualification works;” “The increases of international cooperation of enterprises as well as more efficient participation in the local business networks;” “Increased interest in R&D as well as in creation and implementation of innovations;” “The understanding of the values of specific knowledge and implementation of them to the processes of activities of enterprises and organizations;” “The increase of demand of high qualified workers;” “Acceleration of production internationalisation; as well as shortening of life circle of products and technologies;” “The openness of world economy. This stipulates the growth of foreign direct investments;” Characteristics of Knowledge based Economy “Knowledge-based economy is not a branch of economy. It was formed because of the need and determination to create knowledge with a view to achieve economic and social welfare which could be used to satisfy thirst for knowledge. There was a big wish to achieve competitive advantage, thus providing necessary stable economic conditions revealed through the pursuance of effective national policy and maintenance of stable fiscal system as well as effectively functioning market. KBE covers all of country spheres: economical, social, and cultural. For the development of knowledge economy macro economical stability should be the key condition and starting position. The other not less important factors are functioning of free market, good institutional framework, strengthening the competition of telecommunications and technologies, encouraging the development of e-activities, stipulation of collaboration of government, industry and higher education institutions and etc.[20].” “The key policy recommendations concerning the Knowledge-based Economy creation and development. OECD (2002) experts states that while specific policy priorities may differ across countries, governments have to adopt a comprehensive growth strategy based on a combination of actions in order to:” “Strengthen economic and social fundamentals, by ensuring macroeconomic stability, encouraging openness, improving the functioning of markets and institutions, and addressing the distributive consequences of change.” “Facilitate the diffusion of ICT, by increasing competition in telecommunications and technology, improving skills, building confidence and making electronic government a priority.” “Foster innovation, by giving greater priority to fundamental research, improving the effectiveness of public R&D funding, and promoting the flow of knowledge between science and industry.” “Invest in human capital, by strengthening education and training, making the teaching profession more attractive, improving the links between education and the labour market and adapting labour market institutions to the
