Knowledge Economy: Model Construction and Development Trend of Online Education

In regard to knowledge economy,the current concept in the model construction of online education,including distance education and online learning,generally refers to a kind of network-based learning behavior,similar to the concept of online training.Compared with traditional offline education methods,through the application of information technology and internet technology for content dissemination and rapid learning,online education has the characteristics of high efficiency,convenience,low threshold,and rich teaching resources.Online education covers a wide range of people,different forms of learning,and its classification methods are more diverse.Online education services are the fastest growing field of education informatization.At the moment,the most pressing problems include effectively integrating educational resources with internet technology,launching online education services and products that are highly interactive and would encourage personalized learning,increasing user stickiness,as well as avoiding trend-following and conceptualized investment.

A NATIONAL SYSTEM OF INNOVATION TO BE BUILT FOR WELCOMING THE ERA OF KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY

Editor’s note: Not long ago, CAS headquarters put forward a proposal entitled "A national innovation system (NIS) to be built up towards the era of knowledge economy (KE)" in a bid to plot a chart for China’s development in the next century. The suggestion was highly valued by the CPC Central Committee and here we publish an extracted translation of its full text.

Misalignment Between Skills Discovered, Disseminated, and Deployed in the Knowledge Economy

The knowledge economy is a complex and dynamical system,where knowledge and skills are discovered through research,diffused via education,and deployed by industry.Dynamically aligning the supply of new knowledge with the demand for practical skills through education is critical for developing national innovation systems that maximize human flourishing.In this paper,we evaluate the complex alignment of skills across the knowledge economy by creating an integrated semantic model that neurally encodes invented,instructed,and instituted skills across three major datasets:research abstracts from the Web of Science,teaching syllabi from the Open Syllabus Project,and job advertisements from Burning Glass.Analyzing the high dimensional knowledge and skills space inscribed by these data,we draw critical insight about systemic misalignment between the diversity of skills supplied and demanded in the knowledge economy.Consistent with insights from economic geography,demand for skills from industry exhibits high entropy(diversity)at local,regional,and national levels,demonstrating dense complementarities between them at all levels of the economy.Consistent with the economics and sociology of innovation,we find low entropy in the invention of new knowledge and skills through research,as specialist researchers cluster within universities.We provide new evidence,however,for the low entropy of skills taught at local,regional,and national levels,illustrating a massive mismatch between diversity in skills supplied versus demanded.This misalignment is sustained by the spatial and institutional mismatch in the organization of education by researchers at the site of skill invention over use.Our findings suggestively trace the societal costs of tethering education to researchers with narrow knowledge rather than students with broad skill needs.

How does financial literacy impact on inclusive finance?

Inclusive finance is a core concept of finance that makes various financial products and services accessible and affordable to all individuals and businesses,especially those excluded from the formal financial system.One of the leading forces affecting people’s ability to access financial services in rural areas is financial literacy.This study investigated the impacts of financial knowledge on financial access through banking,microfinance,and fintech access using the Bangladesh rural population data.We employed three econometrics models:logistic regression,probit regression,and complementary log–log regression to examine whether financial literacy significantly affects removing the barriers that prevent people from participating and using financial services to improve their lives.The empirical findings showed that knowledge regarding various financial services factors had significant impacts on getting financial access.Some variables such as profession,income level,knowledge regarding depositing and withdrawing money,and knowledge regarding interest rate highly affected the overall access to finance.The study’s results provide valuable recommendations for the policymaker to improve financial inclusion in the developing country context.A comprehensive and long-term education program should be delivered broadly to the rural population to make a big stride in financial inclusion,a key driver of poverty reduction and prosperity boosting.

Human Resources Accounting

The 21 st century will be the epoch of knowled ge economy. Knowledge economy is to develop economy on the basis of knowledge will surely become the major resources of economy development. Therefore, human resources accounting which provides such information as the ebb and follow of hu man resources investment, the size of the human resources employment, will bec ome the main stream of accounting the time of knowledge economy. To face China ’s reality, to develop economy, and to flourish enterprises, we must combine it with our country’s reality. Study and improve our accounting theories of human r esources, embody the essential contents of stressing knowledge, respecting perso nnel in the design of our present system, and stimulate fundamentally motivation of the work force.

Postdigital Knowledge Cultures and Their Politics

Purpose-This paper aims at exploring politics of contemporary knowledge cultures and possible directions for responding to the postdigital challenge.Design/Approach/Methods-This paper researches history and present of several prominent strands and readings of the knowledge economy.Following Caruso’s work(2016),it examines more closely the differences between the managerial paradigm and the cognitive capitalism paradigm.Recognizing the postdigital nature of contemporary knowledge cultures,it points towards a postdigital merger between the managerial paradigm and the cognitive capitalism paradigm.Findings-The paper identifies individual and social tensions between industrial and post-industrial modes of production and rapidly changing dynamic of social development.It examines the relationships between knowledge cultures and digital technologies.Based on recent insights by the father of the World Wide Web Tim Berners-Lee and his non-determinist views to digital technologies,it identifies knowledge cultures as sites of political struggle against various(material and non-material,technological and non-technological)closures over access to information and knowledge.Finally,it briefly outlines possible directions for responding to the postdigital challenge of knowledge cultures.Originality/Value-The paper provides an original contribution to theory of knowledge cultures and its relationships to the postdigital condition.

Success Factors of Asia‐Pacific Fast‐Developing Regions’Technological Innovation Development and Economic Growth

Asia‐Pacific’s fast‐developing countries and regions(FDCs)—South Korea,Taiwan Province of China,Singapore,Malaysia,and Thailand—demonstrate the most successful economic development models.The government represents the primary guarantee of FDCs’economic and social construction.Public and foreign investments and government policies to stimulate local and foreign businesses play a decisive role in the development of technological innovations in these FDCs.In these countries,basic research is increasing through the development of knowledge‐based industries,the role of research institutes,the applied research undertaken,and the value of educational institutions.Close cooperation between science and industry led to a change in the structure and nature of the economy,which has become increasingly dependent on new knowledge and ideas.
