Obtaining Knowledge-Based Certification

Jahan Sanat was selected as a knowledge-based company. According to Jemielniak’s research, knowledge-based companies have emerged due to extensive changes in the global economy, which over the decades have led to services gaining higher priority. The emergence of knowledge-based companies is seen as a sign of the Third Industrial Revolution, blurring the line between owners of production resources and workers. For example, looking at IBM, we can see the profound impact such a change has had on the company’s revenue structure. In 1924, 96% of IBM’s profit came from leasing production equipment, while punched cards accounted for 4% of the profit. By 1970,
80% of the company’s profit was derived from equipment, 15% from software, and 5%
from services. In the 1990s, the services sector accounted for 30% of IBM’s profit. By 2007, services constituted 45% and software 20% of the profit. This example illustrates a broader trend indicating the inverse relationship between tangible and intangible assets of companies. این مثال تنها بخش کلی این تغییر است که نشان دهنده نسبت معکوس بین داراییهای ملموس و غیرمستقیم شرکتها است.^[۲] این تکامل، تغییر در دسترسی به این منابع را از کارکنان بدون دانش یا وابسته به کارکنان غیر وابسته (دانشبنیان) موجب شده و همچنین قدرت تصمیمگیری از بالا به پایین را از صاحبان و مدیران ارشد به مدیران میانی و متخصصان تغییر دادهاست. These changes coincide with the rise and increasing importance of knowledge-based companies.
