MANAGEMENT OF ORGANIZATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY

Abstract

We can see in the present the arising of a new type of economy. It is an economy based on knowledge and ideas, in which the key factor of the prosperity and of the creation of new jobs is the fructification of higher knowledge and human creativity. The new type of economy represents "the fundamental change from the economy based on physical resources to the economy based on the knowledge". As Thomas Stewart considers "fructification of the knowledge, of the intellectual capital, the obtaining of the prosperity in the market economy requires a new terminology, new management methods and techniques, new technologies and new strategies. In other words, the knowledge based economy, as a new type of economy requires a new type of management -knowledge-based management and a new type of organization-knowledge based organization.
