Sažetak
The new century in the European Union countries has highlighted the importance of high quality knowledge, lifelong learning, and common dimensions of the knowledge base. Knowledge is today one of the fundamental levers of development. Knowledge management is the capability of active formation and creation of one's immediate and wider environment. Information and communication technologies (ICT), particularly the Internet and its applications, increase the volume, speed and accessibility of information, while eliminating the obstacles of space and time. In today's world, companies demand applicable solutions to the problems in their environment. The central goal of university reform in the Republic of Croatia is the transition towards an integrated, competent, research-orientated and efficient higher education, with accredited programmes and institutions. The Bologna process in the new education structure for economists (undergraduate and graduate studies, specialist graduate studies, doctoral studies) requires continuous monitoring, adapting, updating, innovation and transparency of the devised model of education. Interactive approach in the dialogue between university and its environment aims to develop a sustainable regional research programme, which would contribute to the knowledge transfer model. The proposed research project provides an opportunity for dynamic monitoring of the education process in the Republic of Croatia. The research goal is to achieve a concept of interrelated, transparent education system, and to raise the overall standard of education. Research results will be evaluated and incorporated into the future development plans for the region of Eastern Croatia and the country as a whole. Awareness that investment into education brings excellent returns, a growing need for life-long learning and continuous expansion of knowledge through interdisciplinary approach is also a foundation for improved social accountability. The acquired knowledge can quickly become obsolete. It is therefore necessary to learn how to quickly acquire new knowledge.
