Abstract
As Schultz states in his study called Investment in Human Capital (Schultz, T.W., 1961, 1983) employers can become capital owners by acquisition of economically valuable knowledge and skills. In Schultz’s understanding education and training is an investment that results into the development of a special kind of capital called human capital.
S. Rosen (Rosen, 1977) points out that human capital comprises the abilities and productive knowledge of individuals. Consequently, the yield of investment into human capital comes from the development of the individual’s knowledge, skills, thus the capacity to generate income and increase the effectiveness of economic decision making.
Due to major contemporary economic and social changes the role of education and training, and thus the role of knowledge management has become foregrounded worldwide. In the second half of 20th Century knowledge has become an essential factor of production and its significance is constantly growing. The increased significance is represented in expressions such as knowledge society, information society, network society as well as knowledge management, which is in the focus of our publication.
