Abstract
Humankind today is in the midst of great change, a situation that Thurow (2003) calls the third industrial revolution. It is a shift towards a knowledge-based economy, in which knowledge is the most important resource, superseding the traditional resources of land, capital and labour (Drucker 1993).
