Abstract

The relationship between progress in the modern society and scientific and technological development has been and will be an issue of constant interest among policymakers and researchers. It is remarkable how research and research products generate changes that transform people’s lives. Nuclear energy, laparoscopic surgery, and man walking on the moon are a few examples of technological breakthrough. At the same time, discoveries have prompted new ideas to the point of transforming industrialized societies into knowledge-based economies. Change continues to happen at a fast pace. In this context, the most important factor to progress is no longer the availability of capital, labor, raw materials, or energy, but the information and knowledge that people can generate (Tünnermann and de Souza 2003)
