Abstract:   (37 Views)
  • This research provides a general review to identify the requirements and challenges that universities and higher education institutions face in adopting a knowledge-based economy approach.  
  • The mission of universities and higher education institutions has undergone a fundamental change in order to respond to the economic needs of societies and now moving towards the paradigm of a knowledge-based economy.
  • The future requirements and challenges of universities in the knowledge-based economy approach can be categorized into four major axes: transformation in human capital, revision of missions, modification and change of infrastructures, and responding to challenges.
  • As key players in the knowledge-based economy, universities have undergone significant changes in their missions, strategies, and infrastructures.
