Abstract
In our developed countries, society is now tending to describe itself as “post-industrial”. The main distinguishing features of this society, which have been the subject of many studies, may be defined as follows (Ref. 1):
-
1)
economic sector: the change from a goods-producing to a service economy;
-
2)
occupational distribution: the pre-eminence of the professional and technical class;
-
3)
axial principle: the centrality of theoretical knowledge as the source of innovation and policy-making for society.
