Educational Focuses in Organisational Life Cycles
Abstract
The increasingly rapid pace of scientific and technological change, combined with unprecedented development of means of communications, poses both challenges and opportunities for the adapting of learning to economic development. On the one hand, this change can increase economic and educational inequalities both within and among countries. On the other hand, the means for faster diffusion of knowledge vastly increases opportunities for specific learning needs, thus enhancing economic development. The need for access, flexibility and quality learning is an essential function of a complex and economically advanced society. The assumptions that people can acquire all the necessary learning in some form from a terminal degree or from compulsory education grade limits are no longer adequate considering the continuous need for social and economic development.
