Business and Knowledge in 21st Century Rossitsa Chobanova Abstract The innovation is the most natural interconnection between the business and the knowledge, as it is a process of transformation of knowledge into product, service, or new business structure, leading to higher productivity and competitiveness. The defended thesis is that the knowledge is becoming the main source and engine of economic development. The speed, the driving forces, and the structure of the innovation process lead to the evolution of its models and create new challenges for firm and national innovation strategy and policy development. The frame of a new paradigm is emerging, where the knowledge is the main source of economic development. The presented arguments are based on the accelerating importance of knowledge for the business and on globalozation with its driving forces and contemporary manifestations.
