Abstract

Capitalization of knowledge is the driver of knowledge economy. These processes are implemented through management and innovations embedding scientific research with technological innovation and patents and their commercial exploitation. The capitalization of knowledge in transition countries is analyzed through: a) the number of patents, b) the rate and structure of financing scientific and developmental research and c) the human resources in the sector of science and technology. The comparisons are made with developed European countries and global trends within leading countries of the world. Furthermore, the position of transition countries and Croatia is defined. Finally, systematic solutions are proposed.

Keywords
