GLOBALIZATION, KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN THE DIGITAL AGE

http://greendatacenterconference.com/blog/globalizing-your-data-center-strategy/globalization/
The information revolution, and the information age that it engenders, is being defined by an on-going process of economic, social and political globalization. While the term globalization has become quite widespread, even in the popular media, there are confused and often conflicting definitions and conceptions of the phenomenon.
At its most organic and fundamental level, globalization is about the monumental structural changes occurring in the processes of production and distribution in the global economy. These structural changes are responses by many global enterprises that confront tremendous pressures and fantastic opportunities presented by the increased application and integration of advanced information and communications technologies (ICTs) into their core business processes.

Through the application of information and communications technologies, enterprises have the ability to diminish the impact of space, time and distance. Global companies can break apart business functions that were previously thought to be best collocated, and spread them across the globe in a globally disarticulated labor and production process.

This aspect of globalization requires the existence and development of an advanced information and communications infrastructure, based on a network of networks of telecommunications, broadcasting, computers, and content providers.

At a more conjunctural and secondary level, globalization is affecting all of the social, political and economic structures and processes that emerge from this global restructuring. One critical issue that emerges from all of these restructuring processes is the central role of knowledge, education and learning for the success of the Global Information Society (GIS) and global information economy. 

Knowledge is becoming an increasingly important factor of production. More important, some analysts would argue, than land, labor and capital.
