Rapid innovations in science, communications and computing technologies are opening up new opportunities for countries to harness knowledge and participate more fully in the global economy. Developing countries that successfully make the transition to the knowledge-based economy will have unprecedented possibilities to become more competitive in world markets and to participate in the global information society. New technologies can also extend the benefits of knowledge to all segments of society and help countries close the gap in living standards among their citizens. This book defines a knowledge-based economy as one where knowledge is created, acquired, transmitted and used effectively by enterprises, organizations, individuals and communities. It does not focus narrowly on high-technology industries or on information and communications technologies, but rather presents a framework for analyzing a range of policy options in education, information infrastructure and innovation systems that can help usher in the knowledge economy. It also makes the case for better co-ordination among the government, the private sector and civil society to enhance competitiveness and advance economic and social development.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO THE INTERNETACTION PLANSADSLASYMMETRIC DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINEBIOTECHNOLOGYBROADCASTINGBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS SECTORBUSINESS SERVICESBUSINESSESBUSINESS·SECTORCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCAPITAL MARKETSCIVIL SOCIETYCODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESSCOMMUNICATION SKILLSCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNICATIONS COSTSCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIESCOMPETITIVE MARKETSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPUTERSCONNECTIVITYCONSUMER GOODSCONSUMER PROTECTIONDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDEMOCRACYDIGITAL BROADCASTINGDIGITAL DIVIDEDIGITAL NETWORKDIGITAL SUBSCRIBERDISTANCE EDUCATIONDOMAINSE-COMMERCEE-MAILE-MAIL ACCOUNTSECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIES OF SCALEEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMSELECTRONIC COMMERCEELECTRONIC GOVERNMENTELECTRONIC NETWORKSELECTRONIC SIGNATUREELECTRONIC SIGNATURE LAWEMPLOYMENTENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENTEQUIPMENTFAIR TRADEFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFINANCIAL SYSTEMFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN LANGUAGESGENDERGLOBAL COMMUNICATIONGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGLOBAL INFORMATION SOCIETYGLOBAL KNOWLEDGEGLOBAL MARKETPLACEGLOBALIZATIONGOVERNMENT FUNDINGGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT SERVICESGROWTH STRATEGYHARDWAREHARMONIZATIONHIGHER EDUCATIONHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTHUMAN RESOURCESICTIMPLEMENTATION PROCESSINDUSTRIAL ECONOMICSINDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGYINFORMATION FLOWSINFORMATION INFRASTRUCTUREINFORMATION NETWORKSINFORMATION SERVICESINFORMATION SOCIETYINFORMATION TECHNOLOGIESINNOVATIONINNOVATION SYSTEMSINNOVATIONSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINTANGIBLE ASSETSINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSINTERFACEINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICEINTERNATIONAL BUSINESSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERNET ACCESSINTERNET USEINVESTMENTS IN EDUCATIONISDNJOINT VENTURESJOURNALSKNOWLEDGE BASEKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYKNOWLEDGE REVOLUTIONKNOWLEDGE SHARINGKNOWLEDGE SYSTEMSKNOWLEDGE~BASED ECONOMYLABOR MARKETSLABORATORIESLEARNINGLEGAL INFRASTRUCTURELICENSINGMANUFACTURINGMEDIUM ENTERPRISEMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOBILE COMMUNICATIONSMOBILE PHONESNATIONAL INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURENATURAL RESOURCESNECESSARY SKILLSNETWORKSNEW MARKETSNEW TECHNOLOGIESONLINE SECURITIESOPEN SYSTEMPARADIGM SHIFTPCPCSPERSONAL COMPUTERPHONESPHYSICAL PRESENCEPOLICY FRAMEWORKPRIVACYPRIVATE SCHOOLSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTORSPROCUREMENTPRODUCTIVITYPROFESSORSPROGRAMSPROPERTY RIGHTSPROTOTYPESPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC SERVICESPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYR&DRADIORADIO FREQUENCIESREGULATORY AGENCYREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY REFORMRESEARCH CENTERSRESEARCH INSTITUTERESEARCH INSTITUTESRESEARCH PROGRAMSRESULTRESULTSRETAIL TRADESSATELLITESCIENCE RESEARCHSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSCIENTISTSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECURITIESSERVICE PROVIDERSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL ISSUESSOCIAL SERVICESSUPERVISIONTARGETSTAXATIONTEACHERTEACHERSTECHNICAL SUPPORTTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIESTECHNOLOGY POLICYTELECOMTELECOMMUNICATIONTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONS SECTORTELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICESTELEPHONETELEPHONE SERVICETERTIARY LEVELTRAINING INSTITUTIONSTRAINING SYSTEMSTRANSACTIONTRANSMISSIONTUITIONUNIVERSAL SERVICEUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY SCIENCEVOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOLWIRELESS COMMUNICATIONSWORLD TRADEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-4881-9
