Abstract

The development and productive use of knowledge is becoming the key process of value creation for organizations as well as for societies. This fact changes the nature of work, organizations and the role of workers: work is becoming knowledge work, done by autonomous professionals working in networks, where relationships are based on reciprocal appeal. Autonomous professionals are becoming the driver of innovation and success. They will only play this role strongly, when they can act as entrepreneurs: work from their personal drive and talents, are free to take initiative and responsibility to develop themselves and to create what they see as valuable, and are able to create a context that enables them to do this.
