Development of High Technologies as an Indicator of Modern Industry in the Eu

Abstract

ABSTRACT.The article tries to classify the EU states in terms of the advancement of structural changes in their industries on the basis of the increase in the share of advanced technologies in total industrial production, labour, added value, and surplus. In the times of the knowledge-based economy the ability to produce high-tech goods, the demand for which is growing much faster than for traditional goods, indicates the level of modernity of industry.The dynamic growth of the demand for knowledge-based high-tech goods results from the evolution of consumer habits, which are predominantly driven by educated and rich societies who demand that their sophisticated needs met. An important role in stimulating this demand is played by modern media as they instantly deliver information on the latest technical developments and are very efficient in transferring patterns of consumerism. The ability to adapt the structure of production to the needs of the market is crucial in defining a state's position in the international exchange of goods. This is due to the fact that the national technology is tightly interwoven with export abilities.

Regional development through industrial tourism: a literature review

“…Deindustrialisation provides empty spaces that, due to non-use, begin to deteriorate, which promotes the loss of meaning, recognition and importance, generating an economic loss in the region (Custódio & dos Santos,2020). In these contexts, the role of industry in shaping urban space has diminished (Gieranczyk, 2005), and industrial tourism is considered an element of positive diversification: the discovery of a new economic function, based on leisure activities, applied in former manufacturing areas is advantageous for the region (Custódio & dos Santos, 2020;Ruíz et al, 2019). Industrial heritage as a tourism resource is often considered a last resort when these traditional manufacturing sectors have reached a stage of irreversible decay -or even disappeared -and alternative revitalisation measures have already proven impractical or failed (Coit, 2001).…”

Rola przedsiębiorstw przemysłowych w rozwoju gospodarki opartej na wiedzy

“…Proces ten obserwuje się w wielu krajach, w tym także krajach Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej, co było przedmiotem wcześniejszych analiz wielu autorów (m.in. Stryjakiewicz 2002;Stachowiak 2009;Świdurska 2009Rachwał 2009Rachwał , 2010bRachwał , 2011bRachwał , 2011cGierańczyk 2010b;Gurbała 2010;Gierańczyk, Rachwał 2012).…”

RFID within High-Tech Clusters – Towards a Knowledge-Based Economy

“…The category of high technology includes the industries which operate at the contact zone between science and industry by applying the results of scientific research in the industry (Gieranczyk, 2010). Therefore, high-tech clusters are to a large extent dependent on intellectual resources and have a high investment capital, which make them keep a more intense competition for the domestic and international markets' scarce resources of high-tech R&D capabilities, high-tech talent supply capacity, business growth, development funds, and high-tech products (Yunxia & Huamao, 2010).…”
