Knowledge Management as a Basis for Increasing Science-Intensive Technologies

Abstract

The article discusses the role of effective knowledge management as a basic component of the activation and build-up of science-intensive technologies in developed countries. The authors analyze the reasons for the strengthening of the role of knowledge in the world economy, as well as determine the range of specific features of knowledge as an economic resource of the post-industrial economy. The article concludes that building up science-intensive technologies and increasing the innovative potential of the leading countries of the world economy is impossible without effective knowledge management. The experience of developed countries demonstrates the correlation between effective knowledge management and the intensification of the generation of innovative ideas, increasing innovation activity and building up science-intensive technologies. Gaining competitive advantages and building up such technologies is impossible without effective knowledge management, which is expressed in the continuous development of knowledge resources, encouraging creativity in work processes and stimulating innovation both at the enterprise and industry levels.
