Abstract
Adapting to change is a common expectation for citizens of the modern societies; particularly those involved in the complex business of education. Populations of the world have experienced the Agricultural Revolution, the Industrial Revolution and now we are changing and adapting to the challenges to our life styles in the Digital Revolution. This new knowledge-based economy or knowledge market has been extremely well documented by the OECD (1996) and the World Bank (1998/1999).
