Knowledge Transfer – The First Stage of the Knowledge-based Economy

This paper explores the concept of knowledge transfer (KT-to establish the acronym early on) as the first stage in developing a knowledge-based economy. It examines the channels and mechanisms involved in KT, categorizing them into education, competitiveness enhancement for export-focused companies, and new social and economic models. The study draws on global perspectives, highlighting variations in KT approaches across different cultures and economies. The paper also critiques the common confusion between knowledge and innovation, emphasizing the need for distinct strategies. Finally, the article proposes a framework for integrating KT into economic
and social development strategies, underscoring its critical role in future economic models. You can find the article here: knowledge-transfer-the-first-stage-of-the-knwoledge-based-economy
