ŽINIŲ EKONOMIKOS SVARBA INTELEKTINIO KAPITALO FORMAVIMUI.

THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWLEDGE ECONOMICS FORMING INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL.

A lot of authors have found in their research that it is very important while building a growing and self sustaining organization is to manage intellectual capital. Developing of the knowledge economics is one of the ways to manage the intellectual capital resources. If we looked back we would notice that first the industrial revolution took place then there was a total transformation in services, technology and information areas. This phenomenon in particular had a big influence for the economical development. The developing sector of information influenced services to develop into two categories: labour intensive work (which has numerous personnel without any special qualifications) and a knowledge intensive service (which has highly qualified smaller personnel). The economists of the previous century foresaw that one of the most important things for developing countries is the investment into primary education because it pays huge social dividends. Therefore managing of the knowledge economics is necessary to be able to constantly renew the economic and social system. The knowledge and qualifications of specialists needs to be expanded. University education needs to be effective. People have to be socially responsible. The educational establishment has to maintain close ties with the industry and prepare graduates of the highest qualification. (Asmal, 2000). All this contributes to the development of intellectual capital of any enterprise or sector. The intellectual capital is based on knowledge. It's very useful for organizations but it is difficult to identify. The intellectual capital is an integral part of intangible resources. The most important ingredients are: abilities, competence, experience, corporate culture, informal organizational connections, etc. When talking about knowledge economics it should be mentioned that there are no universal definitions of it as it is with most conceptions that have an intangible value. Enterprises have difficulties using certain and supposed knowledge. Considering results of the research we can say that to acquire new knowledge education is needed. In any case creative and complicated work is development of the intellect. In Global economy the competitiveness of underdeveloped countries is very impressive. However, it hardly exists because of lack of materials, human and financial resources. The development gap between different countries could be reduced (Patriche, 2003). It could be done by transferring (mostly financial) resources to developing countries: creating foreign investments, transferring financial portfolios, creating infrastructure and providing loans. The intellectual capital is very important for long time success of knowledge based enterprises. In summary, according to the research results we can conclude that in different countries depending on their level of development various knowledge, intellectual and financial resources exist. Therefore an important factor in the effectiveness of the knowledge economics becomes the investment of those countries into the fields of marketing, consulting, research and development, computer knowledge, web page development, electronic banking, internet shopping, virtual tourism, etc. Money, technologies and world wide markets are administered and controlled by big corporations that operate seeking profits in all markets.

Daugelis autorių yra jau ištyrinėję, kad efektyvus intelektinio kapitalo valdymas yra labai svarbus žingsnis, kuriant augančią ir išliekamąją vertę turinčią organizaciją. Žinių ekonomikos vystymas yra vienas iš būdų padedančių valdyti intelektinio kapitalo išteklius. Jei pažiūrėtume atgal, tai pamatytume, kad vyko pramoninė revoliucija, perversmas paslaugų, technikos ir informatikos srityse. Šis reiškinys kaip tik ir turėjo įtakos ekonomikos augimui. Toliau plečiantis informacijos sektoriui paslaugos buvo sugrupuotos į dvi kategorijas: intensyvią darbo tarnybą (kuri turi gausų personalą, bet be ypatingos kvalifikacijos) ir intensyvią žinių tarnybą (kuri turi nedidelį personalą, bet su aukšta kvalifikacija). Jau praeitame šimtmetyje ekonomistai numatė, kad besivystančių šalių taikiniu turi tapti nacionalinis investavimas į pradinį išsilavinimo lygį, kadangi tai duoda didžiausią socialinę grąžą. Taigi, dalyvavimas žinių ekonomikoje reikalingas dėl gebėjimo pastoviai atnaujinti ekonominę ir socialinę sistemą; išplėsti žinias ir specialisto įgūdžius; efektyviai veikti žinių gamyboje ir aukštojo išsilavinimo sistemoje; būti socialiai atsakingam; būti artimame ryšyje su pramone ir išleisti aukštos kvalifikacijos absolventus. Visa tai prisideda prie bet kurios įmonės ar sektoriaus intelektinio kapitalo plėtros užtikrinimo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
