Long abstract	Knowledge has always been the driving force behind improving living standards and expanding economies (Foray, 2005). For as long as progress has been possible, it has been driven by the capacity for invention and innovation; that is, the generation of new knowledge and new ideas that are subsequently materialised in goods, processes, and organisations. Knowledge is an essential resource for both economic and social progress. Recently, there has been a rise in the study and use of knowledge management in classroom and career instruction. Complexity, integrability, reflexivity, and interpretation are hallmarks of the knowledge society, which includes the informational society.
