SKEMA Business School Vision

The knowledge economy is the term used to describe the new phase of economic history that began in the late 1990s. In the knowledge economy, the creation and use of knowledge of all forms lies at the heart of value creation. This change is so significant that, in 2000, the European Union pledged to make Europe “the most competitive and dynamic knowledge economy, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion”.
