[email protected] Dr. Anand Chauhan2 Assistant professor, Department of Management Studies (DMS), Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology, Murthal,13109, India. [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

  • The 4 Economic Systems What Is an Economic System?
    The 4 Economic Systems What is an Economic System? Economics is the study of how people make decisions given the resources that are provided to them Economics is all about CHOICES, both individual and group choices. We must make choices to provide for our needs and wants. The choices each society or nation selects leads to the creation of their type of economy. 3 Basic Questions Each economic system tries to answer the three basic questions: What should be produced? How it should be produced? For whom should it be produced? How they answer these questions determines the kind of system they have. Four Types of Systems There are four main types of economic systems. The Traditional Economic System The Command Economic System The Market Economic System The Mixed Economic System Each system has its strengths and weaknesses. Traditional Economy In a traditional economy, the customs and habits of the past are used to decide what and how goods will be produced, distributed, and consumed. Each member of society knows from early on what their role in the larger group will be. Jobs are passed down from generation to generation so there is little change in jobs over the generations. In a traditional economy, people are depended upon to fulfill their jobs. If someone fails to do their part, the system can break down. Farming, hunting, and herding are part of a traditional economy. Traditional economies can be found in different indigenous groups. In addition, traditional economies bartering is used for trade. Bartering is trading without money. For example, if an individual has a good and he trades it with another individual for a different good.

  • Seeing What's There Lindy Davies Progress.Org / 2005 One Afternoon
    Seeing What's There Lindy Davies Progress.org / 2005 One afternoon, back in the days of the great bloom of New York City panhandling in the early 90s, I made the by-then reflexive plunge into my pocket, and found nothing but a twenty-dollar bill. I explained to the beggar that the twenty was all I had, and I couldn't afford to give it to him. A conversation ensued, which, the guy told me, meant a lot more to him than the money. "When so many people walk by and don't seem to see you," he said, "you start to wonder if you might really not be here." I often think of that moment as I ponder the plight of the Georgists. Having been given the responsibility of acquainting the world with a radically important insight, they go out and find that people simply cannot see them or, if they can, they refuse to admit it! That makes the Georgists sound rather pathetic. But, despite their lack of honor in their own country, I'd suggest that the Georgists are not the most pathetic players in the field of political economy. True, they lack sophisticated training, popular support and institutional funding. Nevertheless, Georgists can accomplish one thing that most of today's credentialed economists have a great deal of trouble with: they can discern the obvious. A highly-skilled stage magician can make something huge -- the Statue of Liberty, say -- seem to disappear. Yet if that magician were to actually start to believe in his own smoke and mirrors -- if he actually expected the statue to be gone -- our feelings about his performance would shift from awe to pity.

  • Unit 2: Economic Systems Lesson 2.1: Three Economic Questions and the Traditional Economy
    Unit 2: Economic Systems Lesson 2.1: Three Economic Questions and the Traditional Economy What you will learn! An economic system is the way societies provide goods and services to meet the wants and needs of its citizens. SS.912.E.1.3. There are three economic questions that every economic system must answer: (1) what are we going to make?; (2) how are we going to make it?; (3) for whom are we going to make it? SS.912.E.1.3. A traditional economy is an economic system based on customs, habit and ritual passed down from generation to generation. SS.912.E.1.3. Key Point #1. An economic system is the way societies provide goods and services to meet the wants and needs of its citizens. In the last unit, we learned that economics is about why we make choices about what we want and need. Scarcity—limited amount of resources to meet an unlimited about of needs and wants—forces us to make decisions about everything. In this unit, we will learn about how we get those needs and wants met. Let’s say you have your own little kingdom and it’s your task to design an economy to distribute goods and services. How would you want this economy to look? We could make it a smaller economy, based on small communities or families, where everyone could potentially have a say. Everything—resources and products—could be in the hands of the government, which would make the decisions for everyone. Perhaps you would prefer less control, where everything’s in the hands of individuals and businesses, and they make the decisions about what goods and services will be available.

  • SS7E5 the Student Will Analyze Different Economic Systems
    Economic Systems SS7E5 The student will analyze different economic systems. a. Compare how traditional, command, and market economies answer the economic questions of (1) what to produce, (2) how to produce, and (3) for whom to produce. b. Explain how most countries have a mixed economy located on a continuum between pure market and pure command. c. Compare and contrast the economic systems in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. What is Economics? Economics is the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. There are three main economic systems: Traditional Command Market Most countries around the world have a mixed economy (a mixture of the three systems listed above). Essential Economic Vocabulary Production – The process of manufacturing or growing something. Distribution – The delivery of products to various places. Consumption – The use of goods and services. Goods – Items that are sold. Services – Work that helps others. Ex: Hospital. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – The total value of goods and services produced in a country every year. Traditional, Command, Market and Mixed Economies The type of economic system utilized by a country (traditional, command, market, or mixed economies) answer three important economic questions: What to produce? (What products are produced in the country?) How to produce? (How are products produced in the country?) For whom to produce? (Who are you making the products for?) Command Economy In a command economy, the government answers the three economic questions. Characteristics of a command economy: Little individual freedom No competition b/ businesses. Businesses are not for profit. Consumers have few choices. North Korea's leader Kim Jong Gov’t determines jobs & sets Un greets students at a school prices of goods/services.

  • Foundations of Economics Chapter #2: the Organization of Economies
    Unit #1: Foundations of Economics Chapter #2: The Organization of Economies In order to solve the problem of scarcity, societies must make choices. The basic economic questions are the main or basic choices that all societies must answer. These choices are influenced or guided by the rules or parameters set by each society. These rules or parameters compose the economic system. The Basic Economic Questions Because of scarcity every society or economic system must answer these three (3) basic questions: 1. What to produce? What should be produced in a world with limited resources? Exs) Using limited resources, should a local government build a new school or improve roads? Using limited resources, should a farmer grow wheat, cotton, or corn? Using limited resources, should an automobile manufacturer produce driverless cars? 2. How to produce? What resources should be used? Exs) How should we obtain oil? How much pollution should be allowed? How should we produce steel – using union or nonunion workers? Using recycled steel or iron ore? 3. Who consumes what is produced? Who acquires the product? How is it distributed? Exs) Who gets a flu vaccine? Where are new schools built? Who should clothes be produced for (what demographic group / generation)? The goal in answering these questions is both productive and allocative efficiency. Efficiency is the goal of all economic decisions to solve the problem of scarcity. Thus, the aim of each society is to answer the above questions efficiently. There are two types of efficiency: Productive efficiency: a situation in which the economy could not produce any more of one good without sacrificing production of another good.
