Abstract

The knowledge-based economy represents a consequence of technological and informational progress. The performances of the economies have lately depended on the way in which knowledge is capitalizing, and also on the innovation degree and the efficiency of information flows. The present paper aims to identify the importance, characteristics and main elements of the knowledge-based economy, but also the evolution of scientific research conducted in the field of knowledge-based economy in the last 15 years. At the same time, the study aims to identify the development stage of the knowledge-based economy in Europe, and also following the particular case of Romania. The study also presents the connections of the knowledge-based economy with the RDI system and the transfer of new technologies. The knowledge-based economy has proven to be a relatively new concept, and the resources and implications of this new economy have not yet been exhausted. Regarding the development stage of the knowledge-based economy in different European countries, the differences are significant, some countries being far from capitalizing on knowledge, because they do not invest enough in development, research and innovation process.
