THE NECESSITY OF TRANSITION TO THE ECONOMY OF KNOWLEDGE

The necessity to provide a new strategy for intellectual development of society based on knowledge objectively determines the intensification of globalization processes. Sphere of economics, economic relations, consumer demands vary considerably both in time and space. Transformation of the cultural and ethical aspects of social life imposes a deep imprint on this upgrade. Exactly this dynamic is one of the main reasons to reconsider the ideological canons of science or it individual components, which no longer meet the requirements and needs of a new stage of social development in conditions of becoming the economy of knowledge.

Modern analogues had no scope of knowledge and information in the historical past. In our view, has radically changed not only the role of knowledge in modern terms, but also the possibility of their production, use and capacity in the process of social reproduction. Technological foundation of such a possibility created a new information and communication technology, political and economic - processes of economic globalization, and organizational basis perpetuate national innovation system.

And specialized (research), and everyday knowledge becomes a source of growth in the use of which close to natural resources, capital and labor are the dominant factor in the processes of learning that provide steady growth of competitiveness of the economy. As components of the formation and use of knowledge as a resource for economic and social progress in modernizing the economy are the following:

- availability of incentives for the establishment and accumulation of knowledge as a resource for growth. For this purpose requirements for knowledge should increase and the use of which will permit the satisfaction and self-realization in modern life with a constant increase in the social status of the individual through lifelong education;

- passing to intellectually-innovative activity, that helps increase the demand for skilled labor, and maintaining employment, including through the necessary training as the basis of its competitiveness and market success;

- presence of the system of creation and transmission of knowledge from inception to implementation of new technologies and innovative products, that speech goes about the processes of diffusion of knowledge that are both endogenous and exogenous dimensions. The first is especially important, because transfer of knowledge from abroad does not necessarily give effect, if the diffusion of knowledge is not happening inside the country;

- participation of the state and the population in the accumulation of knowledge in economic models of economy of knowledge.

Based on the foregoing, it appears that the economy of knowledge represents a type of social organization, where the fore intellectual resources, and new knowledge and information produced, collected and used effectively, determining the effectiveness of other resources.

The new knowledge embodied in innovations, new technologies and related products provide the ultimately dominant growth of GNP. According with it, the formation of the economy of knowledge for intelligent and innovative principles based primarily on the achievements of fundamental developments created in the scientific and technical environment of the country, and its content is a project of both the economy and society in general.

Therefore, in our view, the economy of knowledge will be fundamentally new model of social reproduction on the basis of intellectual innovation, providing the strategic orientation of organizational and economic relations of all economic entities in the new forward-looking technology in production and at the same time the new principles of social organization.

Formation of the economy, which will be based on knowledge, in any case not limited to the transfer of production to high-end technologies, increasing productivity, and by focusing on creating an enabling environment for the development of basic production factors - human. For the full establishment of the economy of knowledge need to be addressed much broader issues than technological re-equipment of overcoming poverty and unemployment, to solve the housing problem, a humane education and health, protect the environment, etc.

From the above follows that the overall transition to a new model of social reproduction on the basis of intellectual innovation will ultimately create economic and social systems of the future society. It is socially-oriented economic activities determine the development of those areas of production, which not only form the intellectual capacity, but also contribute to its capacity, while addressing one of the strategic sectors of the economy in a modern dimension.
