Knowledge economy was still something unheard of just a decade ago. But today it has become a household word and is on everybody’s lips. Knowledge economy is not only a concept now, but will be a reality in near future. At the turn of the century, a new knowledge economy age is approaching us.
In the 1980s, when people talked about the Third Wave and the post industrial society, knowledge economy remained a concept yet to be crystallized. However, in the 1990s, with knowledge playing an increasingly vitalrole in every sphere imaginable of our economic life, a knowledge-based economy is gradually taking shape. Simply shated, knowledge economy is a kind of economic system based on the production, storage, distribution and consumption of knowledge and information products. Knowledge economy is knowledge-intensive, energy-saving as well as environment-friendly. In the knowledge economy era, economic development relies heavily on science and
technology. For example, the information industry in the US has already ac-counted for 10% of its gross domestic product and is expected to enjoy a further increase in the years to come.
This imminent knowledge economy age presents both vast opportunities and immense challenges to every nation. Worldwide competition in knowledge and information, science and technology, inventions and patents, nature a land human resources will become even more fierce. As the saying goes, "Knowledge is power", and so the gap between countries, in the final analysis, is the gap of knowledge. To meet these challenges posed by knowledge economy, our country should raise the overall quality of her labor force and cultivate more and more specialized personnel.
知識經濟還是聞所未聞的東西只是十年前。但今天它已經成為一個家喻戶曉的詞,是對每個人的嘴脣。現在知識經濟不僅是一個概念,但將在不久的將來成為現實。在世紀之交,知識經濟的新時代即將來臨。
在1980年代,當人們談到第三波和後工業社會、知識經濟仍然是一個有待結晶概念。然而,在1990年代,知識發揮著日益重要作用在我們經濟生活的'每一個領域的,知識經濟正在逐步形成。簡單地拉屎,知識經濟是一種經濟體系基於生產、儲存、分配和消費的知識和資訊產品。知識經濟是知識密集型、節能以及環保。在知識經濟時代,經濟發展在很大程度上依賴於科學
技術。例如,美國資訊產業已經所佔其國內生產總值(gdp)的10%,預計將進一步增加在未來幾年。
這個即將到來的知識經濟時代帶來了巨大的機遇和巨大的挑戰,每一個國家。全球知識和資訊的競爭,科學技術、發明和專利,自然地人力資源將會更加激烈。俗話說,“知識就是力量”,所以國家之間的差距,在最後的分析中,是知識的差距。為了滿足這些知識經濟帶來的挑戰,我國應提高勞動力的整體素質,培養更多的專業人員。
